Key highlights of Royal Island Golf & Villas 

What defines the character of Royal Island is its location on Bach Dang Islet. Rather than being situated within an urban area or on a typical mainland site, the course is surrounded by waterways and the natural greenery of the Dong Nai riverside. This setting creates a distinct sense of separation from the urban pace of Ho Chi Minh City. 

The entire complex spans approximately 200 hectares and is master-planned to accommodate up to 54 golf holes. However, golfers can currently only play the 18 holes that are operational; therefore, one should not confuse the long-term development plan with the number of holes actually in use. 

The current layout features 18 holes with a par of 72 and a maximum length of approximately 7,215 yards. Specialized golf sources describe the course as having many relatively narrow fairways, combined with lakes and water hazards, making accuracy from the tee box crucial. 

Golfing experience at Royal Island Golf & Villas 

Royal Island does not create challenges primarily through significant elevation changes; instead, it focuses on shot direction, distance, and ball control.

This makes the choice of club and landing spot crucial. While golfers may not constantly face steep terrain or massive bunkers, they must maintain consistency in every shot to avoid unnecessary dropped strokes. 

Bù lại, cảnh quan ven sông tạo nên một nhịp chơi khá dễ chịu. Những hàng cây, mặt nước và khoảng xanh mở ra dọc sân giúp Royal Island mang nhiều sắc thái của một vòng golf nghỉ dưỡng, trong khi layout vẫn đủ yếu tố chiến thuật để golfer có handicap thấp tìm thấy thử thách.

The name "Golf & Villas" stems from the vision of developing a combined golf and resort complex on the islet. The project's master plan originally targeted the development of approximately 500 villas and the expansion of the golf facilities to 54 holes. While this represents the project's long-term vision, the existing 18-hole course is the facility currently serving golfers. 

Its location on an islet is also an advantage for golf getaways. After a round, golfers can enjoy the riverside setting instead of immediately returning to the bustle of traffic and city life.
