Quang Binh (Forest Dunes)
FLC Quang Binh Golf Links (Forest Dunes course): The Forest Dunes course and its slightly younger sibling, Ocean Dunes, enjoyed a headstart on many of the world's newest golf developments. And its not just that they were laid out by a prolific master-craftsman, Brian Curley. The two courses extend over the kind of "linksland" terrain on which the game itself was first played.
Occupying a small part of an expansive 70 km coastal duneland strip, the courses are mapped onto a rugged natural sandy landscape. Here you'll find deserted beaches, a deep hinterland of white sand dunes liberally laced with casuarina pine vegetation, occasional lagoons and behind all that, vast areas of exposed windswept dunes.
Visitors welcome on weekdays and weekends.
Must book in advance.

FLC's master plan for Quang Binh envisages a development of up to 10 golf courses, several resort hotels and residential areas ... planning applications permitting.
The FLC Group, a large Vietnamese real estate investment and development company, now owns and operates several golf and resort facilities spread along Vietnam's east coast. From north to south, you'll find FLC Ha Long Bay (a luxury resort not too far from Hanoi and Hai Phong), FLC Samson Links (another luxury resort three hours drive south of Hanoi), FLC Quang Binh (an intended mega-resort near Dong Ha on the way down to Da Nang), and FLC Quy Nhon (a beach and golf resort well south of Da Nang).
