Long Bien Golf Course is a 27-hole urban golf course in Hanoi, known for its extremely convenient city location, full night-golf capability, and large-scale clubhouse and MICE facilities.
Designed by Nelson & Haworth, Long Bien operates 27 holes as a premium public golf course with Paspalum Platinum fairways and TifEagle Bermuda greens. With a location only 10-12km from Hoan Kiem, it is one of the strongest choices for business golfers, MICE groups, and short-stay golf travelers in Hanoi.
Long Bien Golf Course is located in Phuc Dong Ward, Long Bien District, Hanoi.
Location & Access
Its main advantage is convenience. From Hoan Kiem, golfers can often reach the course in 15-20 minutes. From Noi Bai Airport, the drive is usually around 35-45 minutes via Dong Tru Bridge and the main ring-road routes.
- From central Hanoi: 10-12km, around 15-20 minutes.
- From Noi Bai Airport: about 30-35km, roughly 35-45 minutes.
- From Vinhomes Riverside: only around 5 minutes.
Long Bien is a flat urban course, but still highly strategic thanks to its earth mounding, bunkers, water features, and three different 9-hole loops.
Design & Architecture
Nelson & Haworth created three distinct loops: Course A feels wider and more forgiving, Course B presents stronger landing-zone pressure with bunkers and water, and Course C is shorter but demands more precision. Hole 6 on Course A and hole 17 on Course B are two of the strongest strategic highlights.
The fully lit 27-hole night-golf system is one of the course's biggest advantages, especially for business travelers and golfers with limited daytime availability.
The specifications below are suitable for booking and advisory use and should be reconfirmed if the club updates its official scorecard.

- Locker room: 600+ lockers, jacuzzi, sauna, and steam facilities.

Long Bien is a flat urban course but demands strong strategy. These tips will help you make the most of your round.
Tips & Strategy
Photograph the signature holes (Hole 6 Course A, Hole 17 Course B). Hole 6 on Course A is the prettiest Par 3 at Long Bien, with water surrounding the green, while Hole 17 on Course B is a strategic Par 4 with a right dogleg and well-placed bunkers. The best photo angle is from the fairway looking back toward the green. Early morning light is ideal with minimal shadows.
Read greens carefully — TifEagle Bermuda is fast and true. Long Bien greens maintain medium-fast speeds year-round. They're flatter than mountain courses but still carry subtle breaks. Pay attention to the natural slope toward the Red River on greens near the dyke. The male caddies here are known for excellent green reading — use them.
Fairway strategy: control landing zones — you don't always need driver. Paspalum Platinum fairways are moderately wide, but strategic bunkering and water hazards reward position over power. Hole 17 Course B is a textbook example — long iron or hybrid off the tee is safer than driver.
Best tee time: weekday early mornings. The 6:30-7:30 AM window Tuesday through Friday offers the best rates (VND 2,800,000-3,080,000), lighter crowds, and cooler conditions. Weekend rates climb 30-40% and prime slots vanish quickly — book at least 3-5 days ahead.
Bring 3-4 spare balls — plenty for this course. Compared to mountain layouts, Long Bien is more forgiving on lost balls thanks to its flat terrain. Still, water holes like Hole 6 Course A and Holes 3 & 8 Course C carry some risk.
Pair with Stay & Play if traveling from afar. If you're flying into Hanoi from HCMC or abroad, Long Bien is the perfect opening round for a 2-3 day itinerary. Follow up with Sky Lake or Tam Dao on day 2, and stay at a central Hanoi hotel. WinGolf designs custom Stay & Play packages — contact us for a tailored plan.

Golfer Reviews
"Incredibly convenient for Hanoi office workers. Finish work at 5:30, drive out by 6, play 9 holes under lights, and home by 8:30. TifEagle greens are quick and smooth, and the male caddies read lines perfectly. Just watch out — weekends get packed, so book ahead."
"Hosted a 40-person corporate outing here — everything ran smoothly. Spacious clubhouse, solid lunch buffet, nice course. WinGolf handled everything from tee times to catering, I didn't lift a finger."
"Flew up from Saigon and played Long Bien on day one since it's close to Noi Bai. Didn't expect a city course to be this high quality. Good fairways, premium clubhouse, great service. Headed up to Tam Dao the next day — perfect combo."
