Designed by Nelson & Haworth, this 156-hectare, 36-hole course features significant earth mounding, numerous water hazards, large bunkers, and undulating greens. The use of Paspalum turf ensures excellent playing conditions year-round, making it a reliable choice in any season.
The course is divided into four nines, each providing a distinct challenge. Course A is situated in a developing area with future accommodations, while Courses B, C, and D begin at the clubhouse. Courses C and D demand precision off the tee, whereas A and B require strategic play. Notably, the par-5 holes are long and often play into the wind, while the par-3s offer scoring opportunities if you avoid the greenside bunkers.
Standout holes include the strategic par-4 sixth on Course A and the challenging par-3 fifth on Course D, which plays over water. The clubhouse, one of the largest in Asia, offers a variety of dining options, specializing in Korean cuisine. Night golf is available, providing a unique way to enjoy the game under the stars.

The West Course, a Taiwanese masterpiece, presents a classic test of golf at 7,106 yards, with its narrow, tree-lined fairways demanding accuracy from the tee. Its fast, level greens are a true test of putting prowess, a characteristic that has seen it proudly host the Vietnam Open Asian PGA Tour events. While its championship length provides a significant challenge, even for single-digit handicappers from the back tees, the course is playable and rewarding for all skill levels from the regular tees. The iconic 11th hole, a demanding 408-yard par-4 dogleg, exemplifies the strategic thinking required, with its well-placed hazards and elevated green, promising an unforgettable golfing highlight for every visitor.
Complementing the West Course, the 6,946-yard East Course, designed by the legendary Lee Trevino and opened in 1997, offers a different yet equally captivating challenge.
