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.
Masters Course:
Positioned slightly elevated with deeper front bunkering. The preferred angle is from the left half of the fairway, encouraging a controlled fade into a tiered level green.
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.
Masters Course:
Set diagonally behind bunkers, demanding precision distance control. Best approached from the inside corner short of the cross bunkers. Green has subtle slopes back to front
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.
Masters Course:
Smaller, slightly raised, featuring rolling contours. Anything long or right leaves a difficult recovery.
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.
Masters Course:
Tucked between bunkers with a narrow landing zone. Going for it in two requires a precise second shot from the right side of the fairway. A deep bowl middle section captures most balls.
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.
Masters Course:
Elevated and subtly contoured, punishing shots that miss the centre of the green.
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.
Masters Course:
Undulating putting surface, sloping back to front, best accessed from a controlled lay-up to the left side. Over the back is costly.
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.
Masters Course:
Slightly tiered with run-offs on both sides. Distance control is critical.
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.
Masters Course:
Protected by bunkers that force a decision: lay up short and right or attempt a bold second. Multi-tiered putting surface with many challenging pin positions.
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.
Masters Course:
Elevated with bunkers guarding the preferred landing area. Fast from back to front with tiered levels.
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.
Masters Course:
Generously sized and subtly sloped from front to back. Short-sided misses will be punished.
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.
Masters Course:
Narrower approach to this target, protected by bunkers with more dramatic contouring.
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.
Masters Course:
Angled behind bunkers, slightly elevated requiring the correct side of the fairway to access pins.
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.
Masters Course:
Very accessible green, with no bunkers guarding the approach. Time for an attacking shot.
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.
Masters Course:
Narrow and angled, well bunker favouring players who challenge the approach.
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.
Masters Course:
Well protected by bunkers on all sides. Strong back-to-front slopes.
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.
'
Masters Course:
Smaller and slightly elevated, high lofted approach to a relative flat surface, bunkers guard missed approaches
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.
Masters Course:
Elevate surface with strong movement from left to right. Well-defended, making club selection on approaches important.
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.
Masters Course:
Elevated and framed by bunkers, demanding one final precise approach shot.
