Description
Tam Dao Golf Resort is located high
in the Tam Dao Mountains which makes
for year round cooler temperatures
and gives Vietnam golfers the
feeling of playing in the Northeast
USA rather than tropical Asia.
The 18 hole Tam Dao golf course
opened in 2007 was designed to be
the best golf course in Vietnam.
Golf course design company IMG used
the natural land contours and local
flora and fauna to create a visual
treat for golfers. Large mountains
in the back drop frame each hole and
give the impression of one being in
the Alps or Adirondacks. The golf
course plays through a series of
lakes and streams, making it one of
the most scenic Hanoi golf courses.
Sea Isle Paspalum is used on the tee
boxes and fairways, while Sea Isle
2000 Paspalum greens ensure smooth
and quick putting surfaces. Various
tee boxes cater for players of all
levels and from the tips experienced
amateurs and professional golfers
will be required to use every club
in the bag to score well.

The key to scoring well at Tam Dao
are the approach shots, many of
which are to elevated and well
guarded greens. The par 5 first hole
is unique in that it requires
golfers to lay up short of a water
hazard some 200 yards from the
green, or for long hitters go for
the green in two. However, beware of
the large tree front the left of the
green as shots with not enough
distance tend will easily get caught
in the top branches. Equally
challenging is the second hole on
the back nine. The short par 4, only
353 yard, plays to an elevated
island green with closely mown
fringe and flanked by water on all
sides. This demands an accurate
second shot, to avoid a watery
penalty. Other memorable holes
include the dog leg par 5 tenth and
the beautiful uphill par 3 second
hole. Once again, both require
accurate shots into the green to
avoid tricky surrounding areas and
hazards near each of the greens.

Excellent golf course maintenance
consisting of double cut fairways,
white sand bunkers, and close cut
greens and fringes make playing Tam
Dao a real treat. The course at Tam
Dao is by far the best course in all
Vietnam and rivals any of the
exclusive member's only clubs in the
USA or Europe.
