STRATEGIC PARTNERSHIP SIGNING BETWEEN SILK PATH ĐONG TRIEU & PGA OF AMERICA

March 8, 2025 marks a historic milestone for Silk Path Đong Trieu Golf & Country Club as we officially signed a strategic partnership with the PGA of America – the world’s leading professional golf association. This significant event took place in Quảng Ninh and was honored by the special presence of golf legend Sir Nick Faldo, a six-time major winner and globally renowned golf course designer.

A Strategic Leap Towards Globalizing Vietnamese Golf

The collaboration between Silk Path Dong Trieu, Everygolf, and the PGA of America signifies a pivotal step in the professionalization of golf in Vietnam. This partnership not only affirms our pioneering role in the industry but also lays the foundation for a long-term strategy to standardize training, management, and tournament organization in line with international benchmarks.

With the backing of the PGA of America, Silk Path Dong Trieu and Everygolf will co-develop advanced training programs that empower young talents and professional golfers in Vietnam to gain access to world-class knowledge and techniques. Moreover, this partnership will create greater opportunities for Vietnamese golfers to compete in prestigious junior tournaments such as the PGA Junior Tour and the Junior PGA Championships—paving the way for them to step confidently onto the global stage.

Silk Path Đông Triều: A World-Class Venue Ready for Major Tournaments

During the signing ceremony, Sir Nick Faldo expressed his admiration for the Silk Path Dong Trieu Golf & Country Club, noting that it meets the international standards necessary to host major tournaments in Southeast Asia and beyond. He emphasized the importance of developing junior tournament systems and shared his vision of making Vietnam a host destination for events like the Faldo Series and other international competitions.

“I hope Vietnam will host more events like these to further promote golf in the country. Strong performances at such tournaments will give young golfers the platform they need to compete at higher levels across Southeast Asia and Asia as a whole,” shared Sir Nick Faldo.

Vietnam’s First PGA Junior Tournament Set to Launch

According to Mr. Nguyễn Thế Đại, Director of External Affairs at Silk Path Dong Trieu Golf & Country Club, preparations are underway in collaboration with the PGA of America to organize Vietnam’s very first PGA Junior Tour, tailored for athletes aged 7 to 16. This initiative will serve as a foundation to identify and nurture young talent, enabling them to progress through the PGA Junior system across Southeast Asia and Asia in the near future.

The signing of this strategic partnership between Silk Path Dong Trieu and the PGA of America is not only a milestone for our club but also a significant step forward in elevating Vietnamese golf on the world map. With the support of world-class partners, we are confident in a promising and sustainable future for Vietnamese golf—from training and tournaments to professional management.

Grand Opening of PGA Silk Path Dong Trieu Golf – A New Masterpiece in Vietnam

A proud new chapter begins: PGA Silk Path Dong Trieu Golf, a 27-hole golf course designed by Faldo Design, is now officially open. This stunning course is ready to welcome golfers seeking a unique and inspiring experience amidst the majestic landscapes of Quảng Ninh.

The project is part of Silk Path Group’s long-term vision to build a true “golf paradise” in Vietnam – a place where world-class design meets the raw beauty of Dong Trieu’s nature.

“We aim to create a golf paradise in Vietnam – a destination that showcases the finest qualities of our country and invites golfers from around the world to enjoy a truly special and memorable journey.”

Creating a Natural Masterpiece in Dong Trieu, Quang Ninh

From the very beginning, the Faldo Design team faced major challenges – from complex terrain to travel restrictions during the pandemic. Despite the difficulties, every detail was thoughtfully crafted to preserve the land’s natural beauty.

“We wanted to keep as many old pine trees as possible – they’re beautiful, tall, and simply can’t be replaced.”
– Mr. Kenny Nguyen, CEO Silk Path Group.

The combination of rolling hills, deep valleys, natural rock formations, large water features, and mature pine forests creates a golf course rich in character – challenging, yet captivating.

“We designed both 9-hole loops to offer variety and return to the clubhouse, while fully embracing the site’s natural elevation changes to keep every hole engaging.”
– Mr. Andy Haggar, Lead Architect, Faldo Design

Flexible Design – Memorable Experiences for All Golfers

Since its soft opening earlier this year, PGA Silk Path Dong Trieu has received glowing feedback from the golfing community. Some of the most talked-about holes include:

▪️ Hole 7 – Par 4, uphill dogleg right with a massive bunker in the middle of the fairway. Even a small miss could make your second shot very tricky.

▪️ Hole 8 – Par 5, dogleg left, requiring smart strategy to cross a dry creek and a huge bunker if aiming to reach the green in two.

▪️ Hole 15 – A short but risky par 4. Players must shoot over water and uphill, with a bunker stretching across the fairway.

▪️ Hole 16 – A long par 4 with double fairways, demanding a powerful tee shot over water to reach the green – a true test for any golfer.

“If you play from the wrong tee, the course can be very tough. But that challenge, with its dramatic elevation changes, is exactly what makes it so fun.”
– Mr. Kenny Nguyen

Partnering with PGA of America – Shaping the Future of Golf in Vietnam

We are proud to be the exclusive partner of PGA of America in Vietnam, featuring a state-of-the-art PGA Golf Academy and practice facilities. This will be a hub for nurturing young talent and spreading the love of golf to more people.

In addition, we are completing 75 luxury villas and a 120-room hotel, ready to welcome golfers and visitors from both Vietnam and around the world.

“From the start, our goal has been to make PGA Silk Path Dong Trieu the top golf course in Vietnam. Faldo Design has delivered an incredible creation, and in just 1–2 more years, once the course matures and the landscape flourishes, we’ll have a true masterpiece.”
– Mr. Kenny Nguyen
