Hanoi, Vietnam: Jacobsen equipment has been chosen to maintain Yen Dung Resort and Golf Club, a newly constructed golf course in Bac Giang Province, 50 kilometres northeast of Hanoi.
The course has been designed by Albanese & Lutzke Inc and the first 18 holes opened in late August.
The club will expand to 36 holes during the next phase of construction due to take place in 2020. As the only golf course in the Province, it is expected to receive heavy traffic, particularly from professionals working at the nearby industrial parks.
The club has invested heavily in course maintenance equipment and has purchased nine Eclipse 2 greens mowers, nine Greens King 526 mowers, three GP400 ride-on mowers, five Greens King 526 mowers, three LF570 fairway mowers, two AR522 contour rotary mowers, one AR-3, two Groom Master II bunker rakes, eight HoverKing speciality mowers and two Jacobsen Truckster XD utility vehicles.
Jacobsen is an Executive Member of the Asian Golf Industry Federation.
Nguyen Nhu Ngoc is the golf course superintendent at the new club.
Commenting on the construction of the course and the machinery chosen to maintain it, he said: “We are on the side of a mountain here, so we have had to construct the course as well as infrastructure such as roads and bridges.
“It has all come together well and it will be spectacular to play for golfers visiting the area. We are the only golf course in the Province.
“I chose Jacobsen equipment because I have used the machinery on my previous course, and I have always been blown away with the results. The quality is good, and the support from our dealer, Shriro Vietnam, is also fantastic.
“I am confident that all of our needs will be taken care of, and we will be able to provide an exceptional golfing experience here in Bac Giang.”
There are 60 staff members in the maintenance team at Yen Dung Resort and Golf Club who manage an area of ​​190 hectares. There are 138 villas surrounding the golf course for sale, and a hotel on-site.
