Stone Valley, Vietnam
Stone Valley Golf Resort (in Vietnamese Sân Golf Kim Bảng): Around an hour's drive south of Hanoi, the first stages of this inland golf and resort development are now in place. Many accolades are being heaped on Brian Curley's 18-hole course design, with another 18 holes slated for the near future. The golf is to be complemented by a resort villa area.
The golf course occupies a picturesque 200-hectare valley, which is surrounded by jungle-clad hills and folding ridges, interspersed with dramatic pop-up limestone hills. Although the site offers several dramatic elevation changes, the master craftsmanship of Brian Curley ensures a walkable course has been created.
The front-nine loop is characterised by a flatter, broader valley, where water and rock features play their part. Some holes have exposed sharp-edged rocks resembling lava fields.
In contrast, the back-nine climbs into steeper terrain, from where you can enjoy views across the course. The layout builds to a fabulous finish, with the last four holes playing from the highest elevations, which offer spectacular mountain and valley views. The par-3 17th and long par-4 18th four eighteenth play around the original quarry site.
Visitors welcome on weekdays and weekends.
Must book in advance.
