Who it suits

Designer golf, beach resort comfort

Vietnam suits the golfer who wants world ranked courses without the world's highest prices. The central coast around Da Nang holds a run of designer layouts by Greg Norman, Luke Donald and Robert Trent Jones Jr, all within an easy drive of beach resorts that punch well above their cost.

It works for buddies trips, for couples and for the curious traveller who wants golf threaded through food, history and culture. Hoi An, the Marble Mountains and some of the best eating in Asia fill the hours between rounds.

The line up

The Vietnam courses to build around

The central coast is the richest seam of golf in Vietnam, with the country's top ranked courses strung between Da Nang and Hoi An, plus the Greg Norman masterpiece on the southern coast near Ho Chi Minh City.

01

The Bluffs Grand Ho Tram

Ho Tram · Greg Norman, par 71, 7,017 yds

A Greg Norman design tumbling across coastal dunes that rise as much as 50 metres, repeatedly ranked the best course in Vietnam and one of Asia's finest. The southern coast's signature round, near Ho Chi Minh City.

02

Ba Na Hills Golf Club

Da Nang · Luke Donald, par 72, 7,595 yds

Luke Donald's only design, set among rolling hills at the foot of Ba Na Mountain and named the best course in Vietnam for several years running. A cooler, scenic test a short drive from Da Nang.

03

BRG Danang Golf Resort, Norman Course

Da Nang · Greg Norman, 2010, par 72, 7,160 yds

A links style Greg Norman layout along the dunes of Non Nuoc beach, fast and firm, with sea breezes that put a premium on shot shaping. A long standing favourite on the coast.

04

Hoiana Shores Golf Club

near Hoi An · Robert Trent Jones Jr, par 71, 7,010 yds

The first Robert Trent Jones Jr course in Vietnam and by many accounts the most technically demanding, running along the shore with the sea in constant view. Paired with a glamorous beach resort.

05

Laguna Golf Lang Co

near Hue · Nick Faldo, par 71, 7,100 yds

Sir Nick Faldo's favourite of his own designs, routed between mountains, paddy fields and the sea at the Banyan Tree resort. A beautiful, varied round north of Da Nang.

A sample trip

Seven nights, the Da Nang coast

One beach resort base near Da Nang or Hoi An reaches the central coast courses, with a side trip south to The Bluffs for the golfer who wants the full set.

Day 1

Arrive in Da Nang

Land on the central coast, transfer to a beach resort and settle in with a seafood dinner by the water.

Day 2

BRG Danang, Norman Course

The links along Non Nuoc beach to open, fast and breezy, then the resort pool in the afternoon.

Day 3

Ba Na Hills

Up into the hills for cooler air and Luke Donald's rolling test, with a Marble Mountains stop on the way back.

Day 4

Hoi An and rest

A day for the lantern lit old town, the tailors and the food, with no golf and an early night.

Day 5

Hoiana Shores

The Robert Trent Jones Jr course along the shore near Hoi An, paired with lunch at its beach resort.

Day 6

Laguna Lang Co

A scenic drive north for Faldo's mountain and sea layout at the Banyan Tree, the trip's prettiest round.

Day 7

Home

A final morning on the beach before the flight home, or fly south for two nights at The Bluffs.

When to book

A spring and dry season game

The central coast plays best from February to May, when the dry season brings warm, settled days. The autumn months can bring heavy rain and the occasional storm, so spring is the safe luxury window. The south around Ho Chi Minh City and Ho Tram plays well across a longer dry season from November to April.

Caddies are part of the Vietnamese golf experience and usually mandatory, so factor caddie fees and tips into the day. Tee times on the top courses are easier to land than in much of Asia, but the best resorts and the spring peak still reward booking ahead.
