Vietnam: The Rising Star of Asian Golf

Vietnam has rapidly emerged as one of Asia's most exciting golf destinations, offering a remarkable combination of scenic beauty, luxury resorts, and exceptional course design. The country's golf scene is concentrated across three key regions:

Da Nang & Hoi An - Golf Central Vietnam

Da Nang is widely regarded as Vietnam's golf capital. The central coast region is home to an extraordinary cluster of courses, including:

Ba Na Hills Golf Club - Designed by Luke Donald, this stunning mountain course is a masterpiece of contemporary design, offering breathtaking views from its elevated position above the clouds.

Laguna Lang Co Golf Club - Designed by Sir Nick Faldo, this beautiful course sits within a stunning resort complex between mountains and the sea on a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve.

Montgomerie Links - Named after European Ryder Cup legend Colin Montgomerie, this championship links-style course runs along the coast and is consistently ranked among Asia's best.

The Da Nang Golf Club - One of the original premium courses in the region, offering a classic layout with sea views.
