The 18-hole Eschuri Vung Bau Golf course on the island of Phu Quoc has become one of Vietnam’s most popular sporting attractions.

Located next to the stunning Vung Bau Beach, one of the prime spots in Phu Quoc Island, and boasting of a dreamy sunset view, it is not surprising that it has become a destination of choice for avid golfers from within and beyond the region.

Designed and built in collaboration with Sun Group and IMG, the world’s leading golf course design and management company, Eschuri Vung Bau Golf blends the cultural essence of Vietnam with the paradise-like beauty of Pearl Island, stretching a total area of 7,508 yards long and over 65 hectares wide.

Eschuri Vung Bau Golf is considered one of the golf courses in Vietnam that is placed in an ideal location, offering a unique forest-to-sea golfing experience across 18 holes that lead from dense old-growth forests to the beachfront.

Adventure by design

The first nine holes on the course are designed to capture the wild beauty of Phu Quoc’s primaeval old-growth forests, where all of the ancient trees surrounding the holes are preserved. 

The golf greens are subtly undulating but are highly unpredictable. Without guidance from experienced caddies, Eschuri Vung Bau’s local guides, players might find themselves caught in unseen traps.

Leaving the jungle behind, Eschuri Vung Bau Golf takes golfers on a journey from hole 10 to hole 18. Here, players encounter the pristine white sands and picturesque waves of Pearl Island. There is less in the way of ancient trees as the fairways and greens widen and stretch out, giving the feeling of strolling along an untouched beach. These last nine holes feature more undulating greens, presenting a challenge akin to surfing the waves of Pearl Island: difficult yet exhilarating.

A venue for mastery

In addition to its challenges, Eschuri Vung Bau Golf offers opportunities for players to master their skills.

Hole 14 offers a direct view of the sea, making players feel as though they are hitting the ball towards the horizon while enjoying the fresh air of Phu Quoc Island. Those lucky enough to play in the late afternoon will witness a breathtaking sunset over the sea.
