Legend Hill Golf Course is the first golf course in Vietnam designed by Nicklaus Design (USA), founded by golf legend Jack Nicklaus, an 18-time professional major championship winner. Nestled amid the majestic beauty of the Soc Son mountains, Legend Hill perfectly blends nature with pioneering design philosophy, introducing the unique “twin green” concept to offer golfers an unprecedented experience. Featuring 36 diverse greens across 18 holes, each round presents a distinct challenge, giving golfers the opportunity to test and elevate their skills.
A solid opening hole with a generous wide fairway. Aim right to avoid the large bunkers placed down the left side. A well-placed drive sets up a mid-iron approach to large sloping green complexes. Middle of the green and move on.
Legends Course:
More receptive with a wider entrance and softer slopes. Approach shots can be run in from the left, making par more accessible.
A dramatic tee shot encourages an aggressive line. Water comes into play left of the landing zone and near the green when playing the legends course. Avoiding the bunkers framing the right side of the fairway is key to playing this hole. An uphill second shot is required when playing to the right side green, club selection is paramount to carry the small bunker guarding the front.
Legends Course:
Straighter and more visible, allowing a higher-trajectory approach. Safe play is to aim centre/right of the green to avoid the water hazard guarding the left side.
A shorter par-3 with water on the left when playing the Legends side, aim for the centre as this is a sloping green from front to back. The longest par-3 on the course when playing to the Master’s side, with water guarding the right of this large green. Slightly downhill, distance control is key.
Legends Course:
Mid-sized target with a narrow approach and less severe run-offs. Middle-of-the-green play is rewarded.
The longest Par 5 when playing the Legends course, the first par-5 dogleg, with a well-bunkered middle fairway section punishing stray tee shots. Longer hitters can reach in two if playing the Master course. The tiered level green on the right requires a thoughtful approach to avoid tricky putts.
Legends Course:
More open green leaving a slightly elevate pitch. Ideal for three-shot strategy and wedge control.
A mid-distance par-3 with elevated greens framed by bunkers, and a large pond guarding the front of both greens. Club selection is extremely important depending on wind and pin positions.
Legends Course:
Long narrow profile with deep side slopes to the right side of the green adding protection, curving slopes from back to front.
A reachable par-5 for big hitters but trouble lurks around the narrow landing area and near greenside water features. This hole requires intelligent layup positions off the tee and a strategic second shot to set up a better third shot approach.
Legends Course:
More forgiving depth, allowing a wider range of approach shots, a central ridge creates gentle slopes either side.
A straight forward par -3 hole with narrow undulating green targets. Avoid the bunkers and play to the widest part of the green. Different pin placements can dramatically shift the difficulty level on this hole.
Legends Course:
Narrow landing area with softer edges, well protected by a bunker guarding the front. Challenging slopes await you on this green.
Another stunning par-5 with a large lake framing the whole righthand side of the fairway. Elevation changes to the right-side green complex and dogleg shape make this par-5 visually stunning, but tricky. Position your tee shot left, avoiding the bunkers which then opens the preferred green approach and a straightforward second shot between the fairway bunkers.
Legends Course:
Open approach allows a more aggressive second shot without severe penalty. Large surface with generous right to left slopes await you.
A picturesque finishing hole to the front nine. Slight dogleg tee shot, avoiding the left side bunkers leads to a two-tiered green on the right, well-guarded by water and bunkers either side. Choosing the left side green gives a chance at birdie on the turn, aim for the middle to avoid the water.
Legends Course:
More visible and approachable, but well-guarded with water all along the left edge of the green. Requires a confident approach to the right side.
A great start to the back nine with a generous uphill fairway, sloping slightly right to left. Requires a controlled tee shot, followed by an accurate second to sloping greens guarded by bunkers.
Legends Course:
Larger, wider putting surface, crested in the middle, offering some challenging pin positions.
This par-3 hole offers a real test when playing to the island green on the left side. Pay attention to club selection and the green contours as pin placements matter whichever green complex you’re playing towards.
Legends Course:
Island green, sloping back to front encouraging aggressive tee shots. Club selection must be exact.
A straight fairway encourages a strong drive, avoiding the lake on the left side is key to having a good score on this hole. Depending on which of the twin greens is in use, club selection into the green can vary widely.
Legends Course:
Well-guarded by bunkers with a narrow entry. Higher approach shots will be rewarded. Flatter and wider landing area.
Reachable for long hitters, when playing the Legends Course, this offers risk/reward. Favor the left side of the fairway for the best angle to the green plateau.
Legends Course:
More open approach to a narrow angled green, encourages aggressive wedge play. Avoid the deep front bunker.
Short dogleg right requires a well-placed tee shot off the tee, favour the left side to open a straight approach. Two sloping greens add strategy, check pin before striking.
Legends Course:
Elevated and slightly hidden, with run off areas both front and back.
One of the shorter par-3s, with water guarding the whole left side of the green. Play strategically to the centre of the green to avoid trouble. Don’t be fooled, wind can make this deceptively tricky.
Legends Course:
Flatter with a straight on approach, sweeping right to left allowing safer centre-green targeting.
A short par -4 offering longer hitters a chance to get close to the green, leaving a short approach. Bunkers are lurking to catch any wayward approach shots. A layup off the tee may be wise for higher handicappers.
Legends Course:
Narrow angle from the fairway, a higher margin for error especially approaching from the right side. Run-offs either side.
The final par-5 tempts players to go for the green in two. Bunkers and subtle elevation changes test judgment and execution. Large greens in play here, distance control on approach shots is vital.
Legends Course:
Inviting large green, well protected with water on the left. Slopes back to front. Encourages attacking approaches to set up a birdie opportunity.
A strong finishing hole with a large water carry off the tee which then leaves a challenging approach to a water guarded left green and slightly elevate right green. Both greens slope from back to front. Two distinct green choices give players an exciting final challenge.
Legends Course:
More open and visible. Target the centre of the green to finish in style and avoid the swe
