Central Vietnam province Ha Tinh okays $68 mln golf course project

Authorities of Ha Tinh province in central Vietnam have granted in-principle approval for a 36-hole golf course project worth nearly VND1.8 trillion ($68.19 million).

They also approved Ha Tinh Tourism and Sports Services JSC as the project investor.

Covering roughly 180 hectares in Thach Xuan commune, the project includes supporting facilities such as service areas, lodging, management and operations buildings, along with amenities for golfers.

It will operate for 50 years from the date the land is allocated or leased. The investor must complete the entire development and put it into operation within 27 months after receiving the land allocation or lease decision and finalizing all land-related procedures.

Ha Tinh asked the investor to prioritize green technologies and energy-efficient solutions.

The project is expected to add a new high-end tourism offering to Ha Tinh’s destination ecosystem. The large-scale golf course is poised to attract sports tourists and premium leisure travelers, extend visitor stays, and create conditions for local communities to develop services and generate jobs.

Ha Tinh is currently home to the Muong Thanh Xuan Thanh 18-hole golf course, located in Xuan Thanh commune and developed by Muong Thanh Group.

Vietnam's leading private conglomerate Vingroup will develop a modern, large-scale international port named Son Duong at the Vung Ang Economic Zone in Ha Tinh province.

Ha Tinh authorities recently granted in-principle approval for the over VND8.8 trillion ($333.8 million) project and okayed Vinhomes Ha Tinh Industrial Park Investment JSC - a member of Vingroup - as investor. Construction is scheduled to begin in 2026, with completion and commissioning planned for Q2/2028.

Vingroup has invested in many large projects in Ha Tinh. In late August 2023, the group's VinES electric vehicle (EV) battery factory in the Vung Ang Economic Zone began operations.

Viettel Post, the courier arm of military-run telecom giant Viettel, recently completed a site survey for a planned 21-hectare logistics center in Ha Tinh. The nearly VND550 billion ($20.87 million) project is positioned to take advantage of direct access to the North-South railway and the key transport corridor to Laos, the company said during a working session with authorities in Duc Tho commune on November 20.

Ha Tinh is home to Formosa Ha Tinh Steel Corporation (FHS) which owns an integrated steel mill located at Vung Ang Economic Zone.
