Laguna Lang Co
Sir Nick Faldo's boldest Asian routing, laid out in 2013 on a ribbon of dune land between the mountains and the sea, midway between imperial Hue and the beaches of Danang. A par 71 that flows from rice paddy to coastal dune and back, and the centrepiece of the Laguna resort on Vietnam's loveliest stretch of central coast.

The verdict
Sir Nick Faldo opened Laguna Lang Co in 2013, the 26th course to carry his name, on a sandy plain hemmed by the Truong Son mountains on one side and the East Sea on the other. It plays as a par 71 of around 6,961 yards from the tips, and Faldo has used every metre of the varied ground, moving the golfer from old paddy fields and a meandering stream through low coastal dunes, with the mountains as a constant backdrop. It is the most complete championship test in central Vietnam and the reason serious golfers route a trip through Lang Co.
What sets it apart is the variety packed into one round. Faldo gives you width off the tee then defends the greens with run offs, deep bunkering and clever contour, so the second shot is where the course bites. For the travelling golfer it pairs naturally with the Danang courses an hour to the south, and the resort setting means you can walk off the eighteenth and into a beach club. It is a course that rewards the player who thinks, and a genuinely beautiful place to spend a morning.

The holes worth the trip
The round opens across former paddy land where a stream winds through the early holes, so position off the tee matters from the first swing. Faldo asks you to pick a side of the fairway to open the green, and the water gathers anything loose.
The middle stretch climbs gently toward the dunes, with the mountains filling the horizon and the wind off the sea starting to tell. The par 3s are the heart of the test, each a different length and angle, and the greens shed the weak shot toward collection areas that demand a deft recovery.
The closing holes turn back toward the resort and the coast, finishing in front of the clubhouse. It is a fair, photogenic finish rather than a brutal one, the kind of close that sends you to the beach club happy and already planning the next round.
