⛳ Sono Felice Country Club Hai Phong — A 27-hole international-standard golf course at the confluence of the Gia and Moc Rivers, designed by Pacific Coast Design and operated by Sono Group (Korea).
Sono Felice (formerly Song Gia Golf Resort, Sono Belle) is a premier golf and leisure icon in Northern Vietnam, featuring 27 holes across 103 hectares, lush Seashore Paspalum grass year-round, Mediterranean architecture, and green fees from 1,800,000 VND (caddy and cart included).
📍 Location
The course is located in Thuy Nguyen District, Hai Phong City — where the Gia and Moc Rivers converge to create a unique riverside terrain. From Hanoi, golfers can reach the course in just 1.5–2 hours via Expressway 5B. It is approximately 30 km from Hai Phong city center and 15–30 km from Cat Bi International Airport. The location also offers quick access to Ha Long Bay (30–40 minutes) and nearby courses such as Dragon Golf Links (Do Son), creating a rich golf itinerary for multi-day trips.
🏗️ Design & Architecture
Sono Felice was designed by Pacific Coast Design (PCD) of Australia under the direct leadership of architect Phil Ryan. Hyundai Amco (part of Hyundai Motor Group) handled development and construction to PGA international standards. PCD's philosophy is to create golf courses that blend with nature while maintaining high strategic value.
The most distinctive feature is the "Breezes from Two Rivers" — the convergence of the Gia and Moc Rivers creates a constant wind phenomenon, giving the course a Links character within a Parkland setting. The design is also notable for its vibrant flower beds at every hole — a signature feature that keeps the course among the most beautiful in Northern Vietnam.

💡 Tips & Strategy
1. Master the river wind: This is the key factor. Wind from the Gia and Moc Rivers cuts across fairways, constantly changing direction. Book early morning tee times when winds are calmer.
2. Play low punch shots: When facing strong headwinds from the river, a low punch shot will help you control trajectory and distance better.
3. Choose clubs wisely: A short Par 4 can become extremely difficult with headwinds. Don't hesitate to use a wood instead of a long iron for safety.
4. Trust your caddy: Sono Felice caddies are professionally trained, understand river wind directions, and excel at reading greens. Ask their advice before every approach shot.
5. Take advantage of Ladies Day: Every Tuesday offers special rates for female golfers (~1,650,000 VND). If your schedule is flexible, this is significant savings.
6. Optimize with Stay & Play: With 1.5–2 hours from Hanoi, combining an overnight stay at Song Gia Hotel or Golf Villas lets you fully enjoy both the course and the tranquil retreat.
❓ Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to book Sono Felice in advance?
Yes, you should book at least 2–3 days in advance, especially on weekends and holidays. Booking through WinGolf gives you 15-minute confirmation and more flexible time slots.
Does the green fee include caddy and buggy?
Yes, green fee rates include caddy and golf cart (shared). Caddies are professionally trained, with excellent green-reading skills and deep knowledge of river wind patterns.
Does the course rent clubs and shoes?
Yes, high-quality club sets and golf shoes are available for rent. The Pro Shop also stocks leading brands like Titleist, Puma, and Handee. However, with harsh river wind conditions, bringing your own familiar clubs is recommended.
What is the dress code at Sono Felice?
International standard dress code is enforced: collared polo shirts, golf trousers or shorts, and soft-spiked golf shoes. Smart casual attire is required in the clubhouse and restaurants. As a premium course, golfers are encouraged to dress appropriately.
What is the cancellation policy?
Cancellation usually requires 24–48 hours notice to avoid penalties. Late cancellations or no-shows may incur a cancellation fee. When booking through WinGolf, you benefit from flexible rescheduling and transparent policies.
How long does it take to get to Sono Felice from Hanoi?
About 1.5–2 hours via the Hanoi–Hai Phong Expressway (5B). Because of this distance, many golfers choose overnight packages for 1–2 nights to fully enjoy both the course and the resort amenities at Song Gia Hotel or Golf Villas.
Is Sono Felice suitable for beginners?
Yes, the Hill Nine (9 Executive holes, Par 29) is ideal for newcomers. With undulating terrain, small greens, and challenging Par 3s, Hill Nine helps golfers practice their short game without excessive pressure. However, the Championship holes still demand focus due to river winds and water hazards.
⭐ Signature Holes
River 9 — Par 4: Rated as one of the most exciting finishing holes in Vietnam. With a left dogleg and an elevated green above the fairway, this hole demands an extremely precise approach shot to combat the swirling winds that frequently appear at the end of the round.
Ocean 12 — Par 3: The iconic short hole requiring a tee shot over a branch of the Gia River to reach the green. Wind from the Moc River cuts across, making club selection and ball control extremely challenging.
Hill 7 — Par 3: One of the most beautiful Par 3s on the Hill Nine, featuring a small green protected by deep sand traps and undulating terrain. A perfect test of short-game skills.
