Description
Setting
new standards in design and construction, not to
mention guest and member facilities and services,
the 36-hole Chi Linh Golf & Country Club
finally opened in late 2003 in Hai Duong Province
in northern Vietnam. The club, one of the newest
in Vietnam, is located about half way between
Hanoi and the port city of Haiphong, around one
hour by car from either city.
Playing the
Course

The
Chi Linh Star Golf Course will feature a 36 hole
golfing challenge, with every hole constructed and
designed to international standards. "The
Best Place To Play" begins with nine holes,
opened in November 2003, and when completed will
leave you with an unforgettable golfing
experience. The site on which the course is being
constructed lies within a beautiful valley,
surrounded by rolling forest hills, and nestles
beside a large lake complete with rolling creeks
and natural water flowing from the surrounding
area. A visit to Chi Linh will no doubt leave
a lasting impression, whether it be for a great
round of golf, or simply having made the visit to
a truly special place, transformed with care and
attention to every detail. Chi Linh Star Golf
course was designed and is also being constructed
by a leading Australian company, I.G.C.S.
(Independent Golf Course Services) I.G.C.S is well
known in the region having previously designed and
constructed courses in Australia, Thailand,
Indonesia, Philippines and China. This is the
first project for I.G.C.S in Vietnam, and Chi Linh
Star Golf Club is very pleased to have such a
company working with us constructing our new
course.
AAA
Rated P.G.A professional
Chi
Linh Star Golf is very fortunate to have retained
the services of a highly qualified Professional,
Mr. Lars Holden P.G.A as Director of Golf and
General Manager.
Mr. Holden has rich experience in South East Asia.
In Vietnam he has been working for more than three
year and brings along with him a wealth of golf
knowledge to the company and the club members.
Just starting to
discover the ancient game of golf, or wanting to
fine-tune your swing, Lars is available for
individual lessons, group lessons, beginner
clinics, on course lessons, equipment advice, golf
rules and etiquette seminars and 1,2 or 3-day golf
schools. Mr.
Holden is the only member of the P.G.A currently
working in the North of Vietnam, joining the
company in December 2002. His top commitment is to
guaranty the quality of the course and the
services it provides are of an international
standard, meeting the needs of the international
membership.
Course
maintenance equipment has been imported from the
U.S.A. manufactured by "Toro" a world
leader in the -industry servicing the very best
golf courses all over the world today.
There
are of course many factors contributing to the
successful construction of any golf course,
irrigation, drainage, effective and practical
design, not to mention experience and knowledge.
Not
one of these factors has been overlooked on this
project, as it is the company's absolute goal to
construct a course that is of a true
international standard not only today, but for
many years to come.
Turf
Grass for golf courses the world over has become
an exact science, with many species being
developed for specific use. Again, we at Chi
Linh Star Golf have sourced the very best
available today to suit the demanding climate in
Northern Vietnam, and provide our members and
their guests with a first rate facility.
Grass
coverage of the tee areas and fairways uses a
species of grass originally developed in the
U.S.A., and currently sourced from Australia.
"Wintergreen
Bermuda" is an extremely strong turf grass
type able to withstand all weather and general
conditions.
A
superlar putting surface is of upmost Importance
to the golfer, and yet again at Chi Linh we have
spared no expense by air-freighting the very
best turf grass suitable for use on greens in
this region. On course we is using second
generation "Tiff Eagle" grass on our
greens, providing maximum player satisfaction.
