Legend Valley Country Club Honored as “Top 10 Best Golf Courses for Tourists” at the 2025 Vietnam Tourism Awards

Pioneering the “Golf Economy” in Vietnam

More than two decades ago, when the concept of a “golf economy” was still new in Vietnam, Madame Nguyễn Thị Nga—Chairwoman of BRG Group—recognized its immense potential from a global perspective.

To her, golf is not merely a sport but also an economic bridge, creating opportunities for business leaders and investors to connect, collaborate, and expand international partnerships. She foresaw that the “golf economy” could become a form of “on-the-spot export”, attracting high-spending international tourists, generating sustainable foreign currency inflows, and contributing to Vietnam’s GDP growth.

At the Vietnam Tourism Awards 2025, BRG Group was once again honored as an exemplary enterprise in the tourism industry. This recognition reaffirms the Group’s leadership in setting new standards and leading trends in Vietnam’s golf and hospitality sector.

From this visionary foundation, BRG has partnered with world-renowned design brands such as Nicklaus Design and Greg Norman to develop a chain of world-class golf courses across the country.

BRG’s golf network now includes 9 courses with 163 holes, spread across 6 major complexes:

• Kings Island Golf Resort (Hanoi)

• Ruby Tree Golf Resort (Hai Phong)

• Legend Hill Country Club (Hanoi)

• Legend Danang Golf Resort (Da Nang)

• Legend Valley Country Club (Ninh Binh)

• Golden Sands Golf Resort (Hue)

These golf courses welcome hundreds of thousands of visitors annually and have received numerous prestigious awards, helping solidify Vietnam’s reputation as the “World’s Best Golf Destination.”

Madame Nga has been repeatedly recognized as one of Asia’s Most Influential Figures in Golf, honoring her tremendous contributions to the growth of golf in Vietnam and elevating BRG’s stature across the region.

Building an Integrated Ecosystem: Golf – Tourism – Leisure

With remarkable foresight, Madame Nga has expanded BRG’s golf developments into integrated ecosystems combining sports, tourism, wellness, and entertainment.

She once shared:

“A golf course is not just a sports venue—it’s a cultural destination, a place that connects people and recharges both body and mind with positive energy.”

A prime example is Legend Valley Country Club, a fully integrated complex of golf, leisure, and resort facilities offering visitors a complete and emotional experience.

The professionalism and heartfelt service of the BRG team further amplify the brand’s distinctiveness—reflecting Madame Nga’s passion, creativity, and dedication to excellence.

Beyond golf, she has been a trailblazer in the luxury hospitality sector, bringing world-renowned hotel brands such as Hilton, Marriott, IHG, Four Seasons, and Accor to Vietnam.

Hotels such as InterContinental Hanoi Westlake, Hilton Hanoi Opera, Hilton Garden Inn Hanoi, Sheraton Grand Danang Resort, and Sheraton Nha Trang have become iconic landmarks of Vietnam’s luxury tourism scene.

Each BRG project embodies her strategic vision and deep love for Vietnam. Her international business trips are not just opportunities for partnership, but also for learning and reaffirming the global stature of Vietnamese enterprises.

Technology Collaboration – The New Growth Engine

In the era of digital transformation, Madame Nga has guided BRG Group toward strategic technological partnerships to drive future growth.

Recently, BRG Group, SeABank, and Vietnam National University, Hanoi (VNU) signed a strategic cooperation agreement on science, technology, innovation, and knowledge transfer.

This pioneering multi-party collaboration model combines VNU’s academic excellence with the practical experience and financial strength of BRG and SeABank. The partnership aims not only to create innovative products and services but also to nurture a new generation of Vietnamese entrepreneurs, scientists, and tech leaders with global vision.

This strategic move supports Vietnam’s Vision 2045—becoming a high-income, knowledge-based, and innovation-driven economy.

Madame Nga emphasized:

“Collaboration between enterprises and universities is not just about research—it’s about preparing for the future, where science and the economy work hand in hand to serve humanity.”

Sustainability and Social Responsibility

Social responsibility has always accompanied every BRG business decision.

The North Hanoi Smart City Project, a joint venture between BRG Group and Sumitomo Corporation, aims to be the world’s first carbon-neutral smart city, enhancing urban living standards and contributing to Hanoi’s sustainable development.

BRG also actively engages in philanthropic activities—supporting the underprivileged, funding social welfare programs, promoting gender equality, empowering women, and supporting Vietnam’s OCOP (One Commune One Product) initiative through its BRGMart and FujiMart retail systems.

As First Vice Chairwoman of the Vietnam Association of Private Entrepreneurs (VAPE), Madame Nga plays a vital role in connecting the private business community, fostering public-private dialogue, and encouraging collaboration for national growth.

She affirms:

“The development of private enterprises is the lifeblood of Vietnam’s economy.”
