Eschuri Vung Bau Golf – A New Highlight on Phu Quoc’s Golf Tourism Map

1. Overview of Eschuri Vung Bau Golf

Eschuri Vung Bau Golf is the newest 18-hole golf course in Phu Quoc, officially welcoming golfers since 2024. The course is located within the Vung Bau eco-tourism area in the northwest of the island, nestled between two well-known beaches—Ong Lang Beach and Bai Dai Beach—and approximately 20 km from Duong Dong Town.

The project was designed by IMG, a world-leading golf course design firm. Featuring a links-style layout, the course spans 6,908 yards with a par of 72, making full use of the natural terrain and creating a seamless transition between primary forest and coastline. This distinctive “from forest to sea” experience is rare in Vietnam.

Thanks to its pristine landscape, refined design, and international-standard services, Eschuri Vung Bau Golf is not only an ideal golf destination but is also emerging as a new symbol of sports tourism in Phu Quoc.

2. Course Design and Terrain Characteristics

2.1. A Distinctive Coastal Links-Style Signature

Eschuri Vung Bau Golf is developed in a links-style format—a traditional golf course style commonly found along European coastlines. Rather than heavily altering the landscape, the course preserves almost the entire natural terrain, blending forests, sand dunes, and a long shoreline.

Under IMG’s expertise, each area—from tee boxes and fairways to greens—is positioned based on the existing topography. This approach not only meets international technical standards but also maintains Phu Quoc’s inherent wild beauty, delivering an authentic and emotionally rich golfing experience for players of all levels.

2.2. Front 9 – A Journey Through Primary Forest

The first half of the course takes golfers into the cool, green embrace of ancient forest, where fairways weave between towering old-growth trees. Constantly changing terrain, combined with bunkers, water hazards, and natural slopes, requires players to carefully plan each shot.

The sound of forest winds, birdsong, and sunlight filtering through leaves creates a tranquil, restorative atmosphere. Here, golf becomes more than a sport—it is a journey of reconnection with nature, offering a welcome escape from the fast pace of urban life.

2.3. Back 9 – Opening Up to Expansive Sea and Sky

In the second half, the course scenery transforms dramatically as the vast ocean unfolds before the eyes. Fairways become more open, sea breezes stronger, and white sand more prominent—encouraging bold swings while presenting formidable challenges.

Among these, Hole 14 is widely regarded as one of the most beautiful golf holes in Vietnam. Its green lies close to the shoreline, where breathtaking sunsets often draw more attention than the flagstick itself.

3. International-Standard Facilities and Services

Beyond its iconic “forest–sea” design, Eschuri Vung Bau Golf is comprehensively invested in facilities and services that meet international standards, ensuring a complete experience for both domestic and international golfers.

3.1. A Luxurious Clubhouse with Vietnamese Identity

The clubhouse is designed in a traditional Vietnamese architectural style, featuring curved tiled roofs, wooden materials, and open spaces facing the sea—creating a harmonious connection between people and nature.

Inside, golfers will find premium amenities including:

• Spacious changing rooms with private lockers
• Relaxation and resting areas

This space serves both pre- and post-round relaxation needs and is ideal for social gatherings, networking, or hosting small-scale events.
