HALONG BAY, north Vietnam's dazzling tourism magnet, is about to offer another reason to visit the UNESCO World Heritage-listed region: a world-class #golf course perched above the old town, overlooking the spectacular limestone karst-riddled bay.
Although a site above the city was set aside for a golf course years ago, actually playing golf in such a stunning environment has been, until now, a dream. Hanoi-based FLC Group, which is developing golf resorts along Vietnam's 3260-kilometre coast, is mid-way through building a spectacular 18-hole par-71 course that will be accompanied by a hotel, convention centre and villas for sale.
FLC Golf Links Halong Bay resort's expected opening date is third quarter 2017. With four holes directly facing #HalongBay and others ridging a steep valley, FLC Golf Links Halong Bay will provide something golfers dream about but rarely find: views to die for, a year-round playing climate - all in a bucket-list destination with an abundance of non-golf activities.
Several million foreign visitors come to Halong Bay each year, as well as many more Vietnamese to experience the 2000 limestone karsts formed over 20 million years and jutting majestically from the 1553 square-kilometre bay.
