Montgomerie Links Danang
A links flavored course on the sandy coast that turned central Vietnam into a golf destination. Colin Montgomerie and the IMG design team opened the course in 2009 between Da Nang and the lantern lit old town of Hoi An, with rippled fairways, big greens and stands of casuarina pine. It is one of the cornerstones of the Da Nang golf coast.

The verdict
Central Vietnam has become one of the most talked about golf coasts in Asia, and Montgomerie Links is a big part of the reason. Colin Montgomerie, an eight time European number one, lent his name and his playing knowledge to a course laid out by the IMG design team on the sandy linksland between Da Nang and Hoi An, opened in 2009. The ground here is genuinely sandy, which lets the course play firm and run in a way most tropical resort courses cannot.
The result is a links inspired layout rather than a true seaside links, with rumpled fairways, deep revetted style bunkers, large undulating greens and the local casuarina pines framing the holes and catching the wayward shot. It is a par 72 of around 7,100 yards that holds up to the better player from the back tees and stays enjoyable from the forward markers. Paired with the neighboring courses of the Da Nang coast and the culture of Hoi An a short drive away, it anchors one of the best value golf trips in the region.

The holes worth the trip
Montgomerie Links plays best when you embrace the ground game the sandy soil allows. The fairways have movement, so a flat lie is never guaranteed, and the running approach is often the smart play into the large, contoured greens. The bunkering is the defining hazard, deep and steep faced in the British style, and finding the wrong one off the tee turns a par into a scramble.
The casuarina pines do most of the rest of the defending. They line many of the holes, narrowing the effective landing areas and punishing the pushed or pulled drive, while the sea breeze off the nearby coast swings through and changes the club in your hand. The par 3s are strong and varied, and the closing holes give you a fair chance to finish well if you have kept the ball in play.
Caddies are part of the Vietnamese golf experience and worth taking for their reading of the wind and the greens, and a cart helps in the heat. Play in the morning, take a tee that keeps the bunkers and pines comfortable, and Montgomerie Links rewards thoughtful, controlled golf over brute force.
