Laguna Lang Co
Sir Nick Faldo cut Laguna Lang Co from the rice paddies, streams and tidal lagoon of Vietnam's central coast, an 18 hole par 71 opened in 2013 within the Banyan Tree and Angsana resort. About an hour north of Da Nang, it is one of the most complete resort courses in Southeast Asia, framed by mountains on one side and the East Sea on the other.

The verdict
Laguna Golf Lang Co is Sir Nick Faldo's tropical masterpiece on Vietnam's central coast, an 18 hole par 71 that opened in March 2013 within the Banyan Tree and Angsana resort at Lang Co, about 60 kilometers north of Da Nang. Faldo routed it across a remarkable stretch of land where rice paddies, natural streams and a tidal lagoon meet the foothills of the Truong Son mountains and the East Sea beyond, and the result is one of the most complete resort courses in Southeast Asia.
It is a course of contrasts, gentle and playable from the forward tees at around 5,178 yards yet a genuine examination from the championship markers at close to 6,961 yards. Faldo preserved the working paddy fields as living hazards, framed greens against the mountains and used water on more than half the holes, so the round rewards position and nerve rather than brute power. Regularly placed among Asia's finest, it is the centerpiece of any golf trip to the Hue and Da Nang coast.

The holes worth the trip
The par 3s are a highlight throughout, played over water and wetland to greens that sit low against the landscape, and several share the working paddy fields with local farmers, a touch of central Vietnam you find on no other championship course. They give the round its signature images and ask for a confident, committed strike.
Faldo set the back nine against the rising ground toward the mountains, with longer two shot holes that demand a positioned drive and a precise approach, the lagoon never far from the line. The greens are large and subtly contoured, quick when the trade winds dry them out, and the wind off the sea is the course's quiet defense, swinging through the day and changing the club in your hand.
Played at a relaxed Southeast Asian pace, with caddies on every group, it is a round to savor for the setting as much as the golf. Mornings are calmest, the light on the paddies is best early and late, and the par 71 gives a fine balance of birdie chances and holes that demand real respect.

Where to stay nearby
The obvious base is the resort itself. Banyan Tree Lang Co offers beachfront pool villas and the quieter, more contemporary Angsana Lang Co sits along the same sheltered bay, both a few minutes from the first tee and built around the lagoon the course is named for.
Lang Co works beautifully as part of a central Vietnam golf tour, paired with the courses around Da Nang and Hoi An to the south. Many travelers combine it with the cultural draw of Hue to the north and the beaches of the central coast for a trip that mixes golf, history and resort time.
