Eschuri Vung Bau Golf Phu Quoc

Quick Facts

Course Overview & Playing Experience

Layout & “Up the Mountain – Down to the Sea” Terrain

Located along Vung Bau Beach in northern Phu Quoc, Eschuri Vung Bau Golf is an 18-hole, par-72 course measuring 7,508 yards. Designed by IMG in collaboration with Sun Group, it combines tree-lined fairways, sandy areas and open coastal holes.
The front nine runs through wooded terrain, while the back nine opens towards the coast. Bunkers and exposed playing areas make the layout more demanding, particularly when the sea breeze picks up. The change in scenery also means golfers face different conditions as they move through the round.

Tee Options & Tactical Play

The course has five tee positions: Black, Yellow, Blue, White and Red. This gives golfers a choice of playing distance, from a longer test off the back tees to a more manageable round from the forward tees.
Bunker placement and water hazards call for careful shot selection. Golfers need to consider where to land the ball and how much room they have for their next shot. Wind can also affect club selection on the more exposed holes, so playing aggressively is not always the best option.

Turf Conditions & Player Experience

Eschuri Vung Bau Golf uses Tahoma Bermuda grass on the fairways, tees and roughs, with TifEagle Bermuda on the greens. One golfer review praised the well-maintained fairways and described the greens as smooth and consistent. The reviewer also found the layout challenging but enjoyable, highlighting the strategic bunkering as one of its strengths.

These comments offer a useful glimpse of the playing experience, although course conditions can change with the weather and maintenance schedule.

Night Golf Experience

Eschuri Vung Bau Golf also offers Night Golf with a TackleBall lighting system. This gives golfers the option to play after sunset rather than fit every round into the daytime schedule. Check current playing hours and tee-time availability with the course before booking.

Best Time to Play

Eschuri Vung Bau Golf welcomes golfers year-round, with playing conditions shaped by Phu Quoc’s tropical climate and coastal location.

• November to April (Dry Season): Generally the best period for golf in Phu Quoc, with less rainfall and more opportunities to play in dry conditions. The sea breeze can make the coastal holes more enjoyable, although wind may also affect club selection and shot accuracy.
• May to October (Rainy Season): Rainfall is more frequent, and tropical showers may interrupt play, particularly during the afternoon. Morning tee times are worth considering, but weather conditions can still vary from day to day.

Tee Time Strategy

• Morning Rounds (6:00 AM–8:30 AM): A good choice for playing before temperatures rise. Starting early can also leave more flexibility in your day if afternoon showers develop.
• Afternoon & Night Golf (After 2:30 PM): Suitable for golfers who prefer a later start. Eschuri Vung Bau Golf offers Night Golf with its TackleBall lighting system, allowing play to continue after sunset on available tee times. Check the sunset time and current playing schedule when booking.
