Thanh Lanh Golf Course Experience: Is "Little Switzerland" as beautiful as the rumors?

If there is any golf course in the North that makes golfers "wow" at first sight, it is definitely Thanh Lanh Valley Golf & Resort. Known as "Little Switzerland" in the heart of Vinh Phuc, this is not only a challenging golf course but also a world-class resort and check-in paradise.

1. Location and Overview: Journey to the Green Valley

Located in Trung My commune, Binh Xuyen district, Vinh Phuc, Thanh Lanh golf course is about 60km from central Hanoi (a 90-minute drive). The course is situated in an isolated valley, surrounded by the 3.5km2 Thanh Lanh Lake and the majestic Tam Dao mountain range. The temperature here is always 2-4 degrees Celsius lower than in central Hanoi, creating a refreshing atmosphere typical of the highlands.

2. Design Masterpiece by Legend Sir Nick Faldo

Thanh Lanh Valley is the brainchild of Sir Nick Faldo - a 6-time Major champion.

Diverse Terrain: An 18-hole, Par 72 course stretching over 7,000 yards. Nick Faldo took full advantage of the peninsulas jutting into the lake to create strategic golf holes.

Surface Characteristics: Premium Zoysia grass for Fairways and TifEagle grass for Greens, providing stable roll speeds and a smooth feel for every shot.

Challenges: Naturally shaped yet treacherous bunkers require golfers to carefully calculate wind direction and slopes.

3. "Little Switzerland" - A Perfect Check-in Paradise

The reason Thanh Lanh is "storming" social media is its Clubhouse architecture in the style of a European Medieval castle.

Million-view Photo Spots: The Clubhouse balcony area overlooks Thanh Lanh Lake and holes 10, 14, and 18.

Alpine Landscape: Stretching lush green carpets and sloping roof villas along the hillside make visitors feel like they are stepping into the Swiss Alps.

Check-in Tip: Take advantage of the sunset hour when the sun sets over the lake, creating an extremely romantic scene.

4. Why is Thanh Lanh a "Must-Try" golf course when visiting Hanoi?

It is no coincidence that Thanh Lanh is always "sold out" of teetimes. For golfers from the South or international visitors to Hanoi, Thanh Lanh offers value far beyond a regular golf game:

A True "Resort" Space: Standing in the valley, breathing the chilly air of the Tam Dao mountains will make you feel like you are on a vacation in Europe.

Uniqueness: No golf course around Hanoi possesses such a perfect combination of a vast lake and classic castle architecture.
