Description

Setting new standards in design and construction, not to mention guest and member facilities and services, the 36-hole Chi Linh Golf & Country Club finally opened in late 2003 in Hai Duong Province in northern Vietnam. The club, one of the newest in Vietnam, is located about half way between Hanoi and the port city of Haiphong, around one hour by car from either city.

Playing the Course

The Chi Linh Star Golf Course will feature a 36 hole golfing challenge, with every hole constructed and designed to international standards. "The Best Place To Play" begins with nine holes, opened in November 2003, and when completed will leave you with an unforgettable golfing experience. The site on which the course is being constructed lies within a beautiful valley, surrounded by rolling forest hills, and nestles beside a large lake complete with rolling creeks and natural water flowing from the surrounding area. A visit to Chi Linh will no doubt leave a lasting impression, whether it be for a great round of golf, or simply having made the visit to a truly special place, transformed with care and attention to every detail. Chi Linh Star Golf course was designed and is also being constructed by a leading Australian company, I.G.C.S. (Independent Golf Course Services) I.G.C.S is well known in the region having previously designed and constructed courses in Australia, Thailand, Indonesia, Philippines and China. This is the first project for I.G.C.S in Vietnam, and Chi Linh Star Golf Club is very pleased to have such a company working with us constructing our new course.

Turf Grass Types and Application

Turf Grass for golf courses the world over has become an exact science, with many species being developed for specific use. Again, we at Chi Linh Star Golf have sourced the very best available today to suit the demanding climate in Northern Vietnam, and provide our members and their guests with a first rate facility.

Tee Areas and Fairways

Grass coverage of the tee areas and fairways uses a species of grass originally developed in the U.S.A., and currently sourced from Australia. "Wintergreen Bermuda" is an extremely strong turf grass type able to withstand all weather and general conditions.
