Have you ever dreamed of a vacation where simply opening your balcony doors reveals a lush green carpet of grass stretching out under the morning sun? A place where you can leisurely sip a warm cup of coffee, then step gently onto the course for inspiring swings amid pristine nature. Afterward, the whole family gathers for a romantic seafood feast by the sea or relaxes at an international 5-star spa.

That is exactly why Stay & Play (resort vacations combined with golf) has become the most beloved travel trend today. No longer confined to a purely sports-focused itinerary, Stay & Play is a journey filled with joy, togetherness, and complete relaxation for both golfers and their loved ones.

1. What Privileges Does a Stay & Play Combo Bring You?

If you are looking for a trip where every service is meticulously arranged from A to Z so that you and your family can simply relax and enjoy, Stay & Play combo packages are the perfect answer, offering these 5-star-standard privileges:

• Relaxed, fully immersive experience every moment: The best thing about Stay & Play is the seamless connection. The golf course and the upscale resort sit within the very same grounds. There are no long journeys between destinations — just a few leisurely minutes by golf cart and you’ve arrived at the Clubhouse. Tee-times are always arranged at the most beautiful moments of the day.
• One destination, endless joy for the whole family: This is the perfect solution for balancing personal passion with quality time for the family. While the golfers thrive on the greens, the companions and friends who don’t play golf still have their own paradise of entertainment: soaking in an infinity pool, taking photos in glamorous settings, enjoying premium spa treatments, or joining fun beach activities.
• Pampering every sense after the game: After a day on the fairways, your body will be immediately cared for and re-energized by the world-class amenities right at the resort — from modern saunas and diverse Asian–European restaurants to cozy rooms overlooking the ocean or sweeping hills.

The course has an open, airy layout with panoramic views embracing the blue sea.

It retains many of its pristine sand dunes, creating breathtakingly beautiful photo spots for visitors.

Players hit their way through six entirely different landscape environments: green rice fields, ancient forests, beaches, wild sand areas, rivers and streams, and dramatic mountain cliffs. This constant change of scenery means neither players nor their companions ever feel bored. It is also one of the very few golf courses in the world to achieve EarthCheck Gold certification for sustainable development.

• A luxurious retreat for the whole family: Laguna Lang Co offers two 5-star accommodation options:

  • Banyan Tree Lang Co: With villas featuring private pools tucked against the mountainside, extremely well-suited for couples who prefer a private, romantic space.

Northrup, the golf course unfolds like a natural painting surrounded by green forests and gently rippling natural lakes.
