Is Vietnam good for golf?
Expect a diverse mix of world-class designs, from dramatic seaside links and windswept dunes to mountain-backed fairways, each created by some of the game’s most celebrated architects, including Greg Norman, Robert Trent Jones Jr., and Sir Nick Faldo.
Some of Vietnam’s best golf courses include:
The Bluffs Ho Tram Strip | Ho Tram Architect: Greg Norman | Par: 71 | Opened: 2014
Set along Vietnam’s southern coastline, The Bluffs Ho Tram Strip is Greg Norman’s signature design and one of Asia’s finest courses. Routed through towering seaside dunes, it offers sweeping ocean views, fast-running fairways, and shifting winds that keep every round exciting.
Course fact: During construction, Greg Norman was so captivated by the course’s natural setting that he visited the site 14 times, more than any of his other projects worldwide.
Hoiana Shores Golf Club | Hoi An Architect: Robert Trent Jones Jr. | Par: 71 | Opened: 2019
Vietnam’s first Robert Trent Jones Jr. design, Hoiana Shores is a modern links-style gem south of Hoi An. Flowing through rolling dunes and coastal vegetation, it features several holes that play right along the beach. Stunning sea views and clever shot variety make it one of Asia’s top new golf experiences.
Insider tip: Combine your golf trip with a visit to Hoi An’s lantern-lit streets for an unforgettable blend of sport, culture, and cuisine.
KN Golf Links Cam Ranh | Cam Ranh Architect: Greg Norman | Par: 72 | Opened: 2018
Set among vast white sand dunes overlooking Cam Ranh Bay, KN Golf Links delivers pure seaside golf. The championship “Links Course” features firm fairways, natural contours, and panoramic sea views, while the 9-hole Oasis Course adds a lush, water-lined contrast.
Good to know: Norman calls KN Golf Links “as close to true links golf as you’ll find in Asia.” Early morning tee times offer the calmest winds and the best light for photos.
BRG Da Nang Golf Resort (Norman Course) | Da Nang Architect: Greg Norman | Par: 72 | Opened: 2010
Greg Norman’s first Vietnamese design remains a benchmark for coastal golf in Asia. The BRG Da Nang Resort course layout combines Scottish links and Australian Sandbelt elements, with wide fairways, sandy waste areas, and pine-fringed greens just steps from the beach.
Travel tip: When Greg Norman first visited the site, he reportedly told his team, “This is as close to the perfect canvas as I’ve ever seen.”
Laguna Lăng Cô Golf Club | Lang Co Bay Architect: Sir Nick Faldo | Par: 71 | Opened: 2013
Nestled between the mountains and the East Sea, Laguna Lăng Cô is Sir Nick Faldo’s Vietnamese masterpiece. The course winds through dunes, rice paddies, streams, and jungle-fringed hills, offering endless variety and rewarding strategy.
Course fact: Faldo encouraged local farmers to keep working the surrounding rice paddies, so golfers at Laguna Lăng Cô may spot water buffalo grazing beside the fairways.
