If you’ve played golf across Vietnam’s popular coastal courses and think you’ve seen it all, Gia Lai province has a surprise. FLC Pleiku Golf Club & Luxury Resort is the first golf course in Pleiku, and it sits on a landscape that doesn’t look like anywhere else in the country.
The course stretches across 500 hectares of Dak Doa’s pine hills and pink grass fields, a terrain that most golfers won’t have encountered before. The Central Highlands climate helps too: cooler than the coast, less humid, and green year-round. It’s a welcome change from the heat you’d get at courses further south.
As part of the FLC Golf course system, this resort received over 3,000 billion VND in investment, and the facilities reflect that number. The 36-hole championship course is the main draw, but the property also includes a 5-star hotel, an international convention center, a villa area, and even a safari zone. There are swimming pools, indoor and outdoor sports areas, a shopping mall, and a mix of Asian and European restaurants spread across the grounds.
Location-wise, the resort is about 14 km from Pleiku city center and 16 km from Pleiku Airport, right next to National Highway 19 and Phan Dinh Phung road. Getting there from the city takes roughly 20 minutes by car.
What makes this property different from other Gia Lai golf courses is the setting itself. The course was designed around bonsai pine forests and pink grass hills rather than on reclaimed flat land. You play through the terrain, not over it. For golfers who care about the walk as much as the scorecard, that matters.
The resort covers enough ground and activities that a golf trip here can easily become a two or three-day stay, especially if you’re bringing family along.
