Jeongsan Vina Co. Ltd., a subsidiary of South Korea’s Taekwang Group, on Sunday opened the Taekwang Jeongsan Country Club golf course in Nhon Trach district, Dong Nai province.

The 18-hole course features high-grade entertainment, resort and service facilities. According to the project owner, players can come to the golf course by road or water from Bach Dang Wharf in Ho Chi Minh City, which takes 30 minutes.

The course designed by the US-based Golf Plan Company is developed on an 84-hectare area, consisting of resort, swimming pool and tennis court. The total cost of the project is $44 million.

This is the third golf course put into operation in Dong Nai. The other two are Long Thanh and Song May golf courses located in Trang Bom town.

It is also the second South Korean-invested golf course in the southern region, after Twin Doves in Binh Duong.

Phan Thi My Thanh, vice chairwoman of the Dong Nai People's Committee, said the golf course was a component of Dai Phuoc Eco-Tourism and Urban Area developed by Development Investment Construction Corp. (DIC) in the province. The project covering 464.5 hectares and costing over VND7.2 trillion is the biggest satellite urban project, east of Ho Chi Minh City.

Apart from the Taekwang Jeongsan golf course, DIC will invite investors for other components of the Dai Phuoc project.
