Thanh Lanh Golf Club

Overview: Thanh Lanh Golf Club is an 18-hole mountain course in Vinh Phuc, set beside Thanh Lanh Lake below the Tam Dao range. The official course introduction credits Nick Faldo and describes a 73-hectare site where the lake, natural contours and surrounding hills shape the playing environment. Its design language combines a European-influenced visual style with local landscape references, especially the small mountain-like bunkers and the way fairways sit against the water and foothills. The result is a course whose identity comes from the meeting of open lake views, sloping ground and the cooler highland setting.

History: The course was completed and entered operation in November 2021 as part of an eco-tourism project by Nam Tam Dao in Binh Xuyen. Its development belongs to the recent expansion of destination golf around northern Vietnam, where courses near Hanoi use mountain and lake scenery to create a clear alternative to urban layouts. The official history identifies Nick Faldo as the designer and gives the operating milestone, but does not publish a dependable current scorecard total, so unsupported par and yardage figures are left out.

Did You Know? The official introduction places the course at roughly 1,000 metres above sea level and describes an average temperature range of 18 to 25 degrees Celsius. Those figures help explain why Thanh Lanh feels different from lowland Hanoi: altitude and the lake valley are part of the course's playing identity, not merely background scenery.
