⛳ Stone Valley Golf Resort — A one-of-a-kind karst valley golf masterpiece in Kim Bang, Ha Nam, designed by Brian Curley of Schmidt-Curley Design. The course currently operates 27 international-standard holes surrounded by a landscape dubbed "Halong Bay on land."
Stone Valley Golf Resort is one of the most challenging courses in Northern Vietnam, featuring towering limestone cliffs, fast TifEagle greens, and Celebration Bermuda fairways. Green fees start from just 1,500,000 VND on Senior Day (Tue), making it an unforgettable test for golfers of all levels.
📍 Location
Stone Valley Golf Resort is located at Nguyen Du Street, Ba Sao Town, Kim Bang District, Ha Nam Province, in the heart of the Tam Chuc spiritual tourism complex. Its position on the border between Ha Nam and Ninh Binh makes it easily accessible from multiple directions.
From Hanoi, take the Phap Van – Cau Gie Expressway (CT01) then turn toward Kim Bang District. The road is wide and safe. Private limousine services from Noi Bai Airport to the course are also available.
🏗️ Design & Architecture
Stone Valley Golf Resort was designed by Brian Curley of Schmidt-Curley Design — the renowned firm behind Asia's famous Mission Hills complex. Curley maximized the original karst terrain, preserving limestone cliffs, ravines, and natural lakes to create a dramatic, theater-like golf course.
The course is divided into three distinct 9-hole loops (A, B, C):
- A-Course (Front Nine): Relatively flatter valley terrain with streams and lakes guarding fairways. Exposed rock outcrops create a unique visual experience.
- B-Course (Back Nine): Climbs to high rock ledges and steep hillsides. Requires precise wind and drop calculations. Panoramic views over Tam Chuc Valley.
- C-Course (New Nine): Features towering limestone walls as backdrops. Bold elevation changes with dramatic drop shots from clifftop tees to valley greens.
The site once served as a filming location for Kong: Skull Island, adding a unique marketing appeal that draws international golfers.

💡 Tips & Strategy
1. Bring extra golf balls
The rocky terrain and scattered water hazards mean a higher lost-ball rate than typical courses. Carry at least two dozen balls to ensure you finish all 18 holes.
2. Read the greens carefully before every putt
The TifEagle greens feature ridges, bowls, and backstops. Take time to observe from multiple angles and listen to your caddy — they are expertly trained in green reading.
3. Choose the right tee box for your skill level
If your Handicap is above 25, play from the forward tees to avoid long carries over ravines. Don't hesitate to choose shorter tees on demanding Par 3s like hole 15.
4. Book early Monday for the best rate
Monday (Senior Day) offers the week's lowest green fee from 1,500,000 VND. Early morning slots (05:06 – 08:00) are cooler and less windy, ideal for long drives on elevated holes.
5. Use the fairway's natural slope to your advantage
Many fairways slope toward the center. Aiming toward the safer right edge can let the ball roll naturally toward the middle, creating a better approach angle.
6. Combine golf with a Tam Chuc spiritual tour (2D1N)
Since Stone Valley sits right next to Tam Chuc Pagoda, plan a 2-day, 1-night trip: golf in the morning, pagoda visit and lake boat tour in the afternoon. Contact WinGolf for the best combo package rates.

⭐ Signature Holes
Hole 7 – Par 4
A bold drive over a wide rocky field to find the "speed slot" on the fairway. The green slopes 1.5 meters from front to back, demanding absolute precision on the approach.
Hole 15 – Par 3
One of the most beautiful Par 3s in Northern Vietnam. The green is surrounded by limestone walls and a natural drainage creek behind, creating a stunning visual composition.
Hole 17 & 18
The finishing holes wind around an old quarry. The contrast between green grass, white sand, and gray rock walls creates a powerful visual impact — a perfect finale to your round.
