Ruby Tree Golf Resort seamlessly blends international-standard golf course architecture with the natural charm of Do Son’s coastline, delivering a golfing experience that is both relaxing and strategically engaging. The 18-hole, par-72 course is thoughtfully designed to accommodate players of all skill levels, offering both enjoyment and challenge in equal measure.
A standout feature of the course is its diverse green sizes—ranging from medium to very large—combined with subtly contoured slopes that allow players to tailor their approach based on real-time playing conditions. Each hole presents a unique strategic puzzle, requiring keen observation and adaptive decision-making.
With a four-tee system at every hole—from the red tees (5,486 yards) to the gold tees (6,836 yards)—the course provides scalable difficulty, ensuring fairness and balance in both casual rounds and competitive play.
The course landscape is enhanced by 82 artistically sculpted bunkers, naturally flowing water features, and rows of coconut trees along the fairways. These elements not only elevate the technical challenge but also create a serene, tropical ambiance. Together, they shape a golf course that is as visually captivating as it is rewarding to play—where every shot becomes a memorable part of the journey.
A medium length Par 4 to start your round. A good drive on the left side of the fairway sets up the best approach to the green. With a medium iron in hand, players must avoid the front green side bunker. A good shot to this mid size green sets up a good birdie chance.
This length Par 3 will test you early in the round. Playing up to 220 yards, a strong tee shot is required. The green is protected on the left and right by very deep bunkers that requires professional skills to get up and down. A three here is a very good score.
A perfect drive will split the fairway and avoid the well-positioned fairway bunkers. The longer hitter will have a chance to get home in two. All others must choose the right club for the second shot and avoid yet more fairway bunkers. A final approach shot from the fairway to a well guarded green is what a player must face. There are a few “birdie” pins so concentrate and a birdie may be yours.
Don’t let the yardage fool you. This short but demanding Par 4 puts a premium on accuracy. With lateral hazards running the entire length of the hole each shot must be straight. The green slopes from back to front and requires some nerve to hit putts with confidence. A par here is a great score.
The long ball is required, as this is the longest hole playing up to 570 yards. Accuracy is also important as the well-positioned fairway bunkers have derailed many players attempts at par or birdie. Avoid all the obstacles in the fairway and hit an accurate approach. The two tiered green requires pin point accuracy or a three put could be in your future. Par is your friend!
Do Sons signature par three is both beautiful and challenging. The prevailing wind blows from left to right and players must take this into account. Only a purely struck shot will hold its line and finish on the green. With deep bunkers and water on the left side par is no guarantee.
This dogleg left has a challenge at every turn. A demanding tee shot is required to a very narrow fairway section that slopes to one of the 18 water hazards on the course. The approach shot is to an uphill green protected with deep bunkers. Careful once you reach the putting surface, this green has a few tricky breaks.
From tee to fairway is uphill and usually into a strong sea breeze. The shorter hitter will have a tough time reaching this green in two. A generous fairway short of the green offers those a chance to hit a crisp recovery. A bogey here is not a bad score and may often lead to honors on number 9.
A great way to finish the front nine starts with a good tee shot. The slight dog leg left often leaves players with a long iron or hybrid into this difficult green. With bunkers catching any arrant approaches, be sure to aim at the center of the green. A center pin position is your best chance at birdie.
A short Par 4 starts what will definitely be a strong test of golf. Keep the tee shot to the left avoiding the fairway bunker on the right. A small green sloping from back to front looks even smaller from the fairway as it is heavily guarded with bunkers. Most players can get off to a good start with a par, but birdie may be in the cards.
A following breeze aids all golfers on this tee shot. Good thing, because this is one of the hardest approach shots on the course. The green is guarded by 3 bunkers and water hazards left and right. Pick the right club or bogey + will be your score. The green slopes off in many directions so be sure to pick your line carefully.
A generous green is a pleasant sight for all players. A crisp tee shot will avoid the trouble that lurks left, right, and center. Choose the right club so that you are on the right level to make a putt. A birdie can be hard!
The best Par 4 on the course, a true players test. With the lateral hazard on the right only the fairway will do. This dogleg right requires skills from tee to green. After a good tee shot avoiding all the trouble, choose the right approach. Hitting this slim green sloping from back to front is not easy. Par is your friend here, but don’t be surprise by a bogey.
Another great Par 4 dog leg right with water down the right and surrounding the green. A generous landing area from the tee helps every player. But beware, leaking the ball a little left will lead to a much longer approach to this elevated green. With a bowl like effect putts can be made, choose your line and good luck!
A strong tee shot that plays into the sea breeze is required. A slight dogleg right with water running the entire length of the hole scares many players. Getting home in two is not an option to this thin green with water and bunkers surrounding. Placement of the approach is critical. Controlling the yardage of the approach to the elevated green sloping away from you is a must!
A great chance to score if you choose the right club. This green is large and can play up to four clubs longer. A shot hit to the correct level can lead to a realistic birdie opportunity. Pay attention to the gentle breaks and you can make 2.
A tee shot in the fairway is a must. The best tee shot will land on the left side of the fairway leaving an approach shot that is best. A deep bunker guards the front right side and bunkers in the back grab any shots hit too strong. This green accepts shots well as it slopes from back to front. Leave the ball below the hole is the safest position to make a putt.
A great Par 5 to finish the round. This hole has everything, well positioned bunkers and an island green. The long hitter can take a rip at it and find a generous fairway. With 200 – 250 left to the green, your nerves will be tested. A well struck ball will hold this green and maybe receive some applause from the grand Clubhouse overlooking the green. Don’t be distracted, an undulating green will test your nerve for birdie. A great finishing hole to a great round of golf.
