The Twin Doves Golf Club and Resort project, covering 165 hectares in the 4,200-hectare new urban area of Binh Duong, is developed by the joint venture between Binh Duong Corporation of Manufacturing and Export-Import and two South Korean partners namely Seoul Electronic Distribution and Electroland.

Mai Van Nghia, deputy general director of Phu My Co., said 12 model villas would commence construction next year.
