⛳ Cua Lo Golf Resort — an international seaside golf course in Nghe An, designed by IMG with 7 oceanfront holes, panoramic views of the East Sea and Ngư Island.
Cua Lo Golf Resort is the first golf course in Nghe An Province, opened in 2011 on 133 hectares with 1.2 km of coastline. With Par 72, 7,277 yards and green fees from 1,320,000 VND (caddy and shared cart included), it is the perfect destination for golf combined with Central Vietnam beach holidays.
📍 Location
The course is located on Binh Minh Road, Nghi Huong Ward, Cua Lo Town, Nghe An Province — right on the main coastal road along Cua Lo Beach. It is only 12 km (25 minutes) from Vinh city center, 10–12 km (15–20 minutes) from Vinh International Airport, and 18 km from Vinh Railway Station. This makes Cua Lo Golf Resort one of the most accessible seaside courses in Vietnam for air travelers, ideal for short golf trips from Hanoi or Ho Chi Minh City.
🏗️ Design & Architecture
Cua Lo Golf Resort was designed by IMG, a world-leading golf course design and management company. IMG maximized the natural coastal dune terrain of Nghe An to create a links-style course with rolling fairways, undulating topography, and ocean views throughout the round.
The standout feature is a cluster of 7 oceanfront holes where the boundary between the golf course and the ocean seems to disappear. Golfers can swing while listening to the sound of waves and feeling the sea breeze.

💡 Tips & Strategy
1. Choose the right tee box: The Black Tee at 7,277 yards demands long drives. Average handicappers should choose Blue or White tees for a more enjoyable round.
2. Bring extra balls: With numerous white sand bunkers and coastal rough, lost balls are common if your shots stray offline.
3. Read the coastal wind: Wind at Cua Lo shifts during the round and blows strongest in the afternoon. Book early morning tee times (5:30–6:00 AM) to avoid strong winds and midday heat.
4. Trust your caddy: Local caddies know the terrain well and excel at reading lines on the greens. Ask them about slopes and wind direction before each shot.
5. Escape bunkers safely: Bunkers have high lips and fine sand. Don't try to reach the green from deep bunkers — prioritize getting back to the fairway first.
6. Combine with sightseeing: After your round, visit Kim Lien Village (President Ho Chi Minh's homeland), Ngu Island, or enjoy Vinh's famous eel soup and Cua Lo squid.
