Golfers flocking to Eschuri Vung Bau Golf in Phú Quốc

The 18-hole Eschuri Vung Bau Golf Course, located next to the stunning Vũng Bầu Beach - one of the prime spots in Phú Quốc - offers a dreamy sunset view. It has become the top choice for visitors to Pearl Island looking to experience this elite sport.

A unique 'Forest-to-Sea' golfing experience

Situated by Vũng Bầu Beach, the course at Eschuri Vung Bau Golf was designed and built in collaboration with Sun Group and IMG, the world’s leading golf course design and management company. The course blends the cultural essence of Vietnam with the paradise-like beauty of Pearl Island, stretching a total area of 7,508 yards long and over 65 hectares.

Eschuri Vung Bau Golf is considered one of the most ideally located golf courses in Vietnam, offering a unique 'forest-to-sea' golfing experience across 18 holes that lead from dense old-growth forests to the beachfront.

The dreamy scenery of Eschuri Vung Bau Golf

The first nine holes (#1 to #9) are designed to capture the wild beauty of Phú Quốc’s primeval old-growth forests, where all of the ancient trees surrounding the holes are preserved. The adventure begins with a challenge, even for professional golfers, as the forest terrain demands strategic thinking to get the ball into the hole.

The golf greens are subtly undulating but highly unpredictable. Without guidance from experienced caddies - Eschuri Vung Bau’s local 'guides', players might find themselves caught in unseen traps. Leaving the jungle behind, Eschuri Vung Bau Golf takes golfers on a journey from hole #10 to #18, where players encounter the pristine white sands and picturesque waves of Pearl Island. The ancient trees become less frequent, while the fairways and greens widen and stretch out, giving the feeling of strolling along an untouched beach.

Bunkers placed by IMG's talented designers require players to carefully plan each shot to land in advantageous positions. These last nine holes feature more undulating greens, presenting a challenge akin to surfing the waves of Pearl Island - difficult yet exhilarating. Along with its challenges, the design of the Eschuri Vung Bau Golf course also offers opportunities for players. Golfers need to know how to navigate headwinds to keep their scores at or under par and take advantage of tailwinds to score birdies or even eagles. Here, opportunities go hand in hand with challenges.

Sunsets are a specialty of Phú Quốc and Eschuri Vung Bau Golf

Hole #14 offers a direct view of the sea, making players feel as though they are hitting the ball towards the horizon while enjoying the fresh air of Phú Quốc. This sensation is one that few golf courses can provide, resulting in an unforgettable experience. Those lucky enough to play in the late afternoon (from 5 p.m. to 6 p.m.) will witness a breathtaking sunset over the sea - a specialty of Pearl Island unmatched by any other golf course in Vietnam.

A journey to explore traditional culture

Not only does Eschuri Vung Bau Golf offer an adventure through the natural beauty of Phú Quốc, but it also takes visitors on an exploration of traditional Vietnamese culture in its clubhouse and restaurant areas. The clubhouse is designed in a 'smart luxury' style, reflecting the traditional cultural values of Vietnam while maintaining an open and luxurious ambience. The lobby features a massive check-in area with no bad angles, where visitors can easily spot the familiar 'three-gate entrance' architecture of northern Vietnam’s ancient temples and pagodas.

The design of the lobby and restaurant honours traditional Vietnamese culture

The CoCo Restaurant is inspired by Huế’s imperial architecture and can seat up to 150 guests, with a VIP room capable of hosting 40 people, offering a dining experience reminiscent of a royal court.

The restaurant is also an ideal venue for galas of up to 200 people. The entire clubhouse is designed with glass walls to provide uninterrupted views of the golf course.

Eschuri Vung Bau Golf also features a range of amenities, including a five-star standard locker room, sauna, steam bath, and jacuzzi services for both men and women.

Eschuri Vung Bau Golf is open daily from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m., with the last guest check-in at 5 p.m. The listed price for one guest is VNĐ 5,000,000, which includes green fees, caddy fees, half a buggy, one light meal, and one non-alcoholic beverage.

Eschuri Vung Bau Golf is the reason many golfers flock to Phú Quốc to conquer its unique challenges

The course is offering a promotion with a special rate of VNĐ 3,000,000 per person for guests staying at hotels within the Sun Paradise Land ecosystem in southern Phú Quốc, including New World Phu Quoc, La Festa Phu Quoc (Curio Collection by Hilton), JW Marriott Phu Quoc Emerald Bay Resort, Premier Residences Phu Quoc Emerald Bay, and Premier Village Phu Quoc.
