First time to 'Golf Paradise' Legend Valley Country Club
2025 marks an important turning point for Tien Phong Golf Championship when the tournament is held for the first time at Thien Duong Golf Course - Legend Valley Country Club ( Ninh Binh ). This is not only a change in destination, but also a comprehensive upgrade for the tournament, when Thien Duong Golf Course - Legend Valley is considered one of the golf courses with the most spectacular landscape and challenging terrain in the North.
Designed by Nicklaus Design, a global brand founded by the legendary Jack Nicklaus, Legend Valley Country Club offers golfers a completely different experience. The fairways winding between million-year-old limestone mountains, the golf holes through majestic canyons and the course maintained to international standards create a challenging combination that is both beautiful and technical. With 36 standard holes, of which 18 holes have been in operation since 2023, this golf course has quickly become a highly appreciated destination for golfers.
The tournament coming to Thien Duong Golf Course - Legend Valley Country Club creates a special attraction, because this is the first time young golfers have the opportunity to compete at one of the international-scale courses, where each shot is associated with the feeling of being overwhelmed by the majestic nature. Not only that, Thien Duong Golf Course - Legend Valley Country Club is also part of the sports - tourism - resort complex, providing perfect competition conditions and experiences for athletes, parents and fans.
Holding the tournament in this “golf paradise” is also a clear demonstration of the Organizing Committee’s efforts in improving the professional quality and image of Tien Phong Golf Championship, while contributing to bringing the Vietnamese youth golf experience closer to world standards.
Nguyen Trong Hoang won the championship for the first time
The biggest highlight of Tien Phong Golf Championship 2025 was the moment when National golfer Nguyen Trong Hoang was crowned for the first time, ending the season with an emotional victory at Thien Duong Golf Course - Legend Valley Country Club (Ninh Binh). The achievement of 71 strokes (-1) not only helped the golfer born in 2010 surpass many names such as Nguyen Duc Son or Nguyen Viet Gia Han, but also marked a remarkable growth of this young talent.
Having never tried his hand at Thien Duong Golf Course - Legend Valley Country Club, one of the most challenging golf courses in the North, Trong Hoang quickly adapted, controlled the pace of the match and handled the holes excellently. The victory therefore has a special meaning, a worthy reward after two seasons in 2022 and 2023 when he could not reach the Tien Phong Golf Championship.
Not only did Trong Hoang win his first title at the tournament, he also turned this victory into an important stepping stone before the 33rd SEA Games, the event where the 15-year-old golfer will compete for the first time with the Vietnamese Golf Team.
Launch pad for young Vietnamese talents
After nine seasons, Tien Phong Golf Championship has affirmed its position as one of the most prestigious and influential playgrounds for young golfers in Vietnam. The most outstanding feature of the tournament is that over the past eight seasons, the champions have all been promising young golfers, from Nguyen Bao Long, Nguyen Vu Quoc Anh, Nguyen Nhat Long, Nguyen Anh Minh to Nguyen Duc Son or Nguyen Bao Chau. In 2025, the appearance of new champion Nguyen Trong Hoang continues to extend that special "tradition", demonstrating the orientation and sustainable value of the tournament for the development of the next generation.
The fact that young talents continuously shine not only demonstrates their professional quality, but also shows that Tien Phong Golf Championship is becoming a place to hone their competitive spirit, accumulate experience and improve their tactical thinking for ambitious young golfers. Many champions from the tournament have gone far in national and international competitions, contributing to shaping the future of Vietnamese golf.
Journalist Phung Cong Suong - Editor-in-Chief of Tien Phong Newspaper , Director of the Vietnam Young Talent Support Fund, emphasized: "For more than a decade, Tien Phong has always been steadfast in its mission of accompanying young Vietnamese people. Tien Phong Golf Championship is not only a sports tournament, but also a launching pad for young talents to dare to dream, dare to challenge and assert themselves on the golf map of Vietnam and the region."
With a clear direction and sustainable values, Tien Phong Golf Championship continues to affirm its role as a place to inspire passion, nurture talent and create development motivation for the young generation of Vietnamese golfers.
Economic and tourism development boost for Ninh Binh
The Tien Phong Golf Championship 2025, held for the first time at Thien Duong Golf Course - Legend Valley Country Club, not only has professional significance but also creates a strong impression on local economic and tourism development. The event, which gathered nearly 140 golfers from all over the country, has made Ninh Binh the focus of the Vietnamese golf community in recent days, promising to attract a stream of high-quality tourists, contributing to promoting accommodation, services and promoting the image of the "heritage land".
Legend Valley Country Club - a masterpiece created by Nicklaus Design - is located in the majestic limestone landscape of Bat Canh Son. Few people know that before becoming a leading golf and resort destination, this place was just a poor swamp where people mainly made a living by mining limestone. Monotonous economic activities caused many young people to leave their hometown, leaving behind an aging community lacking motivation for development.
The emergence of BRG Golf has changed everything. With a sustainable vision, the business has revived the forgotten land by preserving the original beauty of the limestone mountains and turning nature into the "soul" of the design. From May 2023, Legend Valley officially came into operation, opening hundreds of new jobs, training young human resources and attracting golf tourists - the segment with the highest spending level.
Tien Phong Golf Championship 2025 is therefore not only a major tournament, but also a catalyst to spread the value of Thien Duong Golf Course - Legend Valley Country Club. The tournament contributes to putting Ninh Binh on the golf map of Vietnam and the region, promoting sustainable socio-economic development, where sports, tourism and the community benefit from a long-term strategic vision.
