On April 7, 2025, the legendary “White Shark” Greg Norman — a globally renowned icon in the golf world and the mastermind behind the overall design of Văn Lang Empire T&T Golf Club (Tam Nông District, Phú Thọ Province) — visited and conducted an on-site survey of the project. This visit marked his return after more than two years since the initial survey and represented the final preparation phase for the completion and operation of the 18-hole golf course in the near future.
Certified by the Legend “White Shark” Greg Norman
During this survey, Greg Norman walked through every area of the course to carefully examine the terrain, turf quality, water features, as well as the layout and difficulty of each hole. He also assessed the natural slopes, grass smoothness, drainage capabilities, and the harmony between landscape elements and playing strategy. All evaluations were made against strict international design standards to ensure the course delivers not only top technical quality but also an inspiring golfing experience.
Greg Norman placed special emphasis on technical challenge and the course’s ability to cater to diverse player needs. Văn Lang Empire T&T Golf Club embodies Greg Norman’s unique design philosophy and nearly five decades of experience as a professional golfer and a Vietnamese Tourism Ambassador, promising to become an ideal venue for major international tournaments in the future. He stated, “Văn Lang Empire T&T Golf Club is a harmonious course suited for all skill levels — from beginners to professionals. The course length and challenge meet international standards, fully qualifying it to host major global tournaments such as LIV Golf.”
Furthermore, the golf legend recognized Vietnam’s rapidly growing golf market as one of the fastest-growing worldwide. “This is a tremendous opportunity for Văn Lang Empire T&T Golf Club to establish its position on the international golf map,” he emphasized.
Văn Lang Empire T&T Golf Club – A Masterpiece Reflecting Vietnamese Cultural Heritage
Văn Lang Empire T&T Golf Club is the first golf project marking a strategic advancement of T&T Group in this promising sector. From the outset, T&T Group aimed to create a world-class golf course meeting stringent international standards while embodying the natural beauty of the ancestral land and Vietnam’s cultural identity. Every fairway and landscape detail was crafted with passion by Greg Norman and his team, reflecting a perfect blend of tradition and modernity, nature and humanity.
The course features natural water systems, lush greens, and meticulously designed challenges such as bunkers and tall grass fields, offering an exciting and rewarding experience for golfers of all levels. Beyond that, the architectural elements throughout the course prominently showcase cultural symbols inspired by traditional motifs associated with the era of the Hùng Kings — a long-standing historic symbol of the Vietnamese nation.
Mr. Nhữ Văn Hoan, CEO of T&T Golf, stated: “With operations managed by T&T Golf (a subsidiary of T&T Group) and strategic partnerships with leading global entities, Văn Lang Empire T&T Golf Club will help propel Vietnamese golf onto the global stage, becoming a compelling destination on the international golf map.”
Previously, in October 2024, Văn Lang Empire T&T Golf Club officially opened the first 9 holes out of the legendary total of 36 holes for player experience. According to plans, T&T Group will continue to open the 18-hole experience in the second quarter of 2025. This project not only marks T&T Group’s entry into the golf sector but also signifies the Group’s long-term commitment to developing a world-class golf ecosystem in Vietnam.
