The Long Thanh Golf Club opened nine more holes on Sunday, putting the total at 36 holes in Dong Nai Province.

 

The club completed the first stage with the 36-hole international standard golf course at a cost of VND600bil.

 

The golf course offers a panoramic view of the surrounding countryside since the whole golf course is located on a hill of more than 350 hectares near the Dong Nai River. The club is about 45 minutes from HCM City by car.

 

"The golf club has been recognized by members, guests and professional players as an international standard course in Vietnam for years," Le Van Kiem, general director of the Long Thanh Golf Club, said on Sunday.

 

"We are seeking investors to cooperate in the development of the next 36 holes for the second stage. The new golf course will be accomplished in 2013," Kiem added.

 

The golf course will be completed with a five-star resort to provide sport and entertainment services. It will be zoned for 1,000 villas located in areas of hills and waterways.

 

Besides business activities, the Long Thanh Golf Club contributed VND10bil to social and charitable activities in 2006.
