Sky Lake Resort & Golf Club – Award-Winning Dual 18-Hole Championship Courses Near Hanoi

Located just 45 kilometers from central Hanoi, Sky Lake Resort & Golf Club features two distinct 18-hole par-72 courses — the Sky Course and the Lake Course — totaling 36 holes of championship golf excellence. Designed by renowned Korean architect Ahn Moon Hwan of Bori Golf and established in 2012, Sky Lake earned prestigious recognition in 2015 as both the Best Championship Course in Vietnam and the 5th Best Course in the country, making it the premier golf destination in Hanoi.

The Lake Course offers a challenging and scenic championship layout with rolling hills, lakeside holes, and stunning mountain backdrops. Stretching to 7,265 yards from the back tees, it demands long and accurate drives to reach several elevated uphill par-4s. Its wide fairways are framed by thick rough, large trees, and steep drop-offs, with large multi-tiered greens protected by complex bunker systems, providing a rigorous test for skilled golfers. The lush Paspalum grass ensures excellent ball lie throughout.

In contrast, the Sky Course is embraced by natural Vietnamese jungle and delivers a more forgiving experience suited for golfers of all skill levels. While the fairways are wider and mistakes less punitive, the course challenges players with elevated, turtle-back style greens reminiscent of Pinehurst No. 2. Though less dramatic than the Lake Course, the Sky Course is highly favored by local golfers for its balance and playability.

The resort is managed by IMG, ensuring top-notch course conditions, facilities, and service year-round. After rounds, players can enjoy authentic Korean cuisine overlooking the course at the clubhouse restaurant. While Korean golfers often stay at the on-site 5-star Wyndham Sky Lake Resort, other visitors typically return to Hanoi due to limited off-course evening activities. Availability of caddies can vary, and member tee time reservations may affect access during peak days.
