Vinhomes Global Gate Advances 12-Course Golf Complex in Ha Long

Major Golf Development Underway in Quang Ninh

Vinhomes Global Gate Ha Long is developing a substantial golf complex within Vietnam's Quang Ninh province. This extensive project, situated in Ha Long, will encompass 12 golf courses. These courses are planned across approximately 950 hectares of land. The golf development is an integral component of a much larger integrated urban and resort destination.

This wider destination, also known as Vinhomes Global Gate Ha Long, spans an impressive 6,206 hectares. A PGA Golf Academy is also planned within the complex, intended to support skill development and instruction. This large-scale initiative aims to establish a comprehensive golf and leisure offering in Northern Vietnam. Construction for the broader development commenced in late 2025, according to information from Vinhomes Market.

Construction Progress and Integrated Vision

The broader Vinhomes Global Gate Ha Long project officially broke ground in December 2025. Throughout 2026, construction activity has progressed across multiple areas of the expansive site. This work includes significant land preparation, the establishment of technical infrastructure, and the development of internal road networks.

Initial construction on several functional zones is also taking shape, showing active progress across various project parts. While the wider development advances, the 12-course golf complex itself remains under development within the approved master plan. This integrated approach seeks to combine golf, hospitality, leisure, and tourism within a single, cohesive destination. The aim is to create a broader ecosystem designed to enhance the overall visitor activity.

Regional Connectivity and Ecosystem Development

The 12 golf courses are not conceived as standalone facilities; they are integral to the larger Vinhomes Global Gate Ha Long development. This extensive project stretches geographically from Tuan Chau to Quang Yen. It is designed as a large-scale ecosystem combining urban development, tourism, hospitality, retail, entertainment, sports, and MICE facilities.

Planned high-end amenities include resorts, golf club facilities, hotels, commercial areas, and leisure options, all situated alongside the golf courses and PGA Golf Academy. The project also prioritises regional connectivity. A planned high-speed rail link is expected to reduce travel times between Hanoi and Ha Long significantly once operational.

Existing expressways and access to regional airports further enhance the region's accessibility. This improved infrastructure could support Ha Long's transition from primarily a sightseeing destination.

Implications for Northern Vietnam's Golf Market

Improved connectivity and the integrated development could transform Ha Long's appeal for travellers. The region, currently known primarily for sightseeing, seeks to attract longer-stay leisure and golf visitors. For golf and hospitality managers, the primary value lies in establishing Ha Long as a major golf destination.

Integrating golf with hotels, resorts, food and beverage, entertainment, and MICE facilities encourages golfers to generate value across multiple services throughout their stay. This model aims to increase both the length of stay and guest expenditure. The development could create opportunities for golf resorts, multi-day itineraries, and golf-led MICE events.

It capitalises on Ha Long Bay's existing global appeal and a growing hospitality sector, potentially reshaping Northern Vietnam's golf and tourism market.
