Vientiane golf courses

Dansavanh Golf and Country Club located on the shores of the Nam Ngum Lake, better known as the “Lake Geneva of Asia” it is one of Asia’s largest lakes.  Dansavanh Golf is the first purpose built golf course in Laos and offers some of the most picturesque views available.

One of the newest additions to the up and coming golf scene in Laos is the newly opened Lakeview Vientiane Golf Club. Located some 15 minutes from the city centre of Vientiane the golf course boasts a very modern design.  The resort style course was designed by Nelson & Howarth and measures 7153 yards from the back tees. With a par of 72 it is very much a course designed for today’s big hitters.

Designing the course took a great deal of imagination, as the area before construction was extremely flat and needed a lot of remodelling to provide a golf course that was pleasing on the eye and also enjoyable for those that play.

Lao Country Club located on the KM14 road between Friendship Bridge and Vientiane is an 18 hole par 71 golf course. It is a relatively short course by today’s standards however you will not be disappointed with the quality of the course or the test of golf that you will encounter. 

The course uses the layout of the original golf course that was on the site of this recently refurbished golf course resort. The Youth Garden Golf Course was one of the oldest courses in Laos.

The highly rated Long Vien Golf Course, will become the first golf resort in Laos to boast 36 holes. The entire complex is set within a 1360-acre residential development. Eventually when the complex is complete the golf course will comprise of 4 loops of 9 which all wind their way back to the clubhouse giving the golfer a variety of choices.  The first 18 holes opened in 2012 on what was originally a flat, swamp like area, but the total redevelopment and design of the golf course has created a rolling course with beautifully manicured fairways and greens.

The course has quickly gained popularity with foreign golfers from China, Korea and Japan and will no doubt become the premier golfing destination in Laos PDR.

Located in the Saythany District of Vientiane, Sea Games Golf Club was constructed by Boo Young Co Ltd after much discussion and deliberation over how best to create the course.   Surrounded by the natural forests of Laos, the Seas Games Golf Club offers a unique sense of mystery and wonderment that few golf courses can offer. The designers pride themselves on the creation of a golf course that blends seemingly with nature in an environmentally friendly manner.
