Long Vien Golf Club currently offers 27 holes on a flat terrain. The Long Thanh & Lao-Viet Course (7534 yards) was opened in 2012. Another 9 holes, the Vientiane Course (3520 yards) was added in 2016. The each 9 holes of the original 18 holes resemble one another because of water coming into play on many holes, the same long distance, and the similar layout with mature trees. On the other hand, the Vientiane Course not only offers players water hazards as well as dunes that help to enhance the interest of the course. Besides the new 9 has the nicest layout among three 9-hole courses although it is a little shorter than the other two. The Vientiane and Long Thanh Course of the18-hole combination is the best at Long Vien Golf Club at the moment. The golf club has a plan to add another 9 holes totaling 36 holes in a future.

The opening hole is a slightly dogleg to the left. The landing area of the tee shot is narrow with ponds on both sides. There is the pond on the left for the second shot. The green is gurded by the lake on the left a bunker on the right. The green is sloping and two-tiered. |

|
|
The 2nd is a relatively short and straight hole. The fairway is tight with a hazard on the left and a pond on the right. The green sloping from back to front is surrounded by hazards and four bunkers. |
|
|
The 3rd is over a pond. The pond waits for players' errant shots on both sides of the green that is also guarded by bunkers on the front left & right. |
|
|
The 4th is a unique par 6. It is over 700 yards curving to the left and further to the left. Parallels ponds fland the fairway for the tee and second shots and the landing area for the second is narrow. Players must make a decision on the third shot whether lay-up short of the pond crossing 150-200 yards in front of the green or hit heroically over the pond. The green slopes from back to front and is protected by bunkers on the front left and the back right. The big dunes run along the entire the left side. |

|
The 9th bends to the left. The landing area for the tee shot is narrow with hazards on both sides. The green is shallow and guarded by bunkers on the front left & right and hazards on the left and the right as well as in the back, so an accurate approach shot is required on this demanding hole. |
|
|
The 12th is a difficult hoe sharply bending to the right. Pay attention to a pond on the right for the tee shot. The approach shot is over the pond and a shallow bunker placed just in front of the wide green that is also protected by two bunkers behind. |
|
|
The 14th is a very long par 3. The green is guarded by three bunkers in the front and a bunker on the back right and a hazard on the right. A ridge runs on the green and putting is dificult, too. |
|
|
The 15th is a dogleg to the right, long par 5. There are an OB line on the right coming into play and a hazard on the left for the tee shot. A fairway bunker on the right should be avoided at all costs for the second shot. The green is narrow, undulating and concave in the middle. |
|
|
|
|
The 16th is a pretty hole over water. Bunkers are placed on both sides of the undulating green. |
|
|
It is a 30-minute drive both from Vientiane and a 45-minute drive from the Vientiane Airport.
