Long Thanh Golf Club (Lake)

Overview: Long Thanh Golf Club Lake is the water-oriented 18-hole routing at Long Thanh, near Bien Hoa and within reach of Ho Chi Minh City. The Long Thanh project is credited to Ron Fream and Golfplan, while current course records list the Lake course at par 72 and 7,127 yards. The layout is shaped by the relationship between broad fairway corridors, landscaped water and the mature tropical setting of the club. Water is not confined to one signature hole; it repeatedly affects the safest line and the angle into the next shot, giving the course a strategic identity that is different from the property's hill routing.

History: Long Thanh developed as a two-course golf club with separate Hill and Lake layouts. Official club information describes the property as a large golf and country-club development with natural landforms, palms, lakes and waterfalls. The public record does not agree cleanly on one opening year or on every published yardage, so this profile avoids an unsupported date and identifies the directory routing precisely as Lake. That preserves the important course-level distinction while leaving disputed chronology open for later primary-source confirmation.

Did You Know? Long Thanh's Lake course is part of a 36-hole property, but its identity is not simply “the easier course” beside a hill course. Course descriptions repeatedly emphasize water across the routing, with many holes bringing the lake or associated water hazards into play. The name is therefore a useful design clue: it describes a recurring strategic feature, not just the address of the clubhouse.
