Emerald Country Club is an 18-hole Par 72 island golf course on Dai Phuoc Island, Nhon Trach, Dong Nai, known for its speedboat access from central Ho Chi Minh City and riverside setting along the Dong Nai River.
Formerly known as Taekwang Jeongsan Country Club, Emerald Country Club was designed by Ronald W. Fream, stretches approximately 7,295 yards, and features Paspalum fairways with TifEagle/Tifdwarf greens. It is a strong choice for golfers who want a private resort-style round away from the urban crowds.
Emerald Country Club is located on Dai Phuoc Island, Nhon Trach District, Dong Nai Province, surrounded by the Dong Nai River.
Location & Access
From District 1, golfers can travel by speedboat in about 25-30 minutes, or by road via Cat Lai ferry/expressway in about 70-100 minutes depending on traffic. Future Long Thanh Airport and Nhon Trach bridge connectivity will make the course more convenient for inbound golf travelers.
- By speedboat: about 20km, 25-30 minutes, the signature Emerald experience.
- By road via Cat Lai: about 30km, 70-90 minutes, best planned outside peak hours.
- From future Long Thanh Airport: about 15km, highly convenient for international golf tours.
The course uses its island terrain, river breeze, and open water views to create a resort-style but strategic golf experience.
Design & Architecture
Designed by Ronald W. Fream of Golfplan, Emerald Country Club offers two contrasting nines: the Sun Course, with a more open feel, and the Moon Course, where many holes play closer to the Dong Nai River. Scottish-inspired bunkering, salt-tolerant Paspalum fairways, and TifEagle/Tifdwarf greens define the playing surface.
The 18th hole, a Par 5 finishing hole, is the course highlight. It requires careful management of water, bunkers, and the approach angle toward the clubhouse-side green.
