If you're planning a luxury golf trip to Southeast Asia, Da Nang belongs at the top of your shortlist. Here's everything you need to know.
Why Da Nang Has Become the Capital of Vietnamese Golf
Three factors have made Da Nang the country's premier golf hub. First, the course quality: designers of the calibre of Robert Trent Jones Jr., Nick Faldo, and the late European design movement have created genuinely world-class layouts here. Second, the infrastructure: international direct flights from Australia (via Singapore, Bangkok, or Ho Chi Minh City) and a mature five-star resort ecosystem mean logistics are seamless. Third, the value: green fees and villa rates at Da Nang's finest properties remain significantly more accessible than comparable experiences in Thailand or Bali.
The Four Signature Courses
Hoiana Shores Golf Club
Vietnam's first true links course. Designed by Robert Trent Jones Jr. on a dramatic dune landscape adjacent to the East Sea, Hoiana Shores plays to 7,309 yards from the back tees and demands creativity and course management throughout. The closing stretch along the beach is among the finest in Asian golf. Consistently ranked Vietnam's number-one layout.
Ba Na Hills Golf Club
Designed by Luke Donald on a mountain plateau at 1,500 metres elevation, Ba Na Hills offers something that no other Da Nang course can match: night golf. Fully floodlit from 5:30pm, the experience of playing a Luke Donald design in the Vietnamese highlands after dark is genuinely extraordinary. The course also plays beautifully by day, with panoramic mountain views on every hole.
Laguna Golf Lăng Cô
Sir Nick Faldo’s brilliant design seamlessly weaves through dramatic jungle terrain, pristine beachfront, and serene rice paddies. The course’s strategic bunkering and unique environmental diversity make it a captivating challenge. Watch out for the resident water buffalo roaming the paddies as you navigate this truly immersive tropical layout.
BRG Legends Da Nang Golf Resort
Now a premier 36-hole facility, BRG Legends Da Nang Golf Resort features the formidable Nicklaus Course, a standout design by Jack Nicklaus II. The layout is defined by its striking wooden bulkheads that line the water hazards — a design element inspired by classic Florida courses but uniquely adapted to the Vietnamese coastal landscape. It demands absolute precision and offers a thrilling test for golfers of all levels.

Best Time to Visit Da Nang for Golf
February through September is Da Nang's prime golf window. The March–May window is the sweet spot — dry, warm (26–30°C), and uncrowded. See our full [Vietnam golf](/destinations/vietnam/) season guide for month-by-month detail.
Where to Stay: Villas vs Resorts
AGS recommends private villas for groups of 4+ — price per person is comparable to resort accommodation but offers complete privacy, a private pool, and villa staff. Our An Bang villa portfolio places groups minutes from Hoiana Shores and adjacent to Vietnam's finest boutique dining strip.
For couples or smaller groups, the Hoiana resort precinct — anchored by the New World Hoiana Hotel — offers five-star facilities with direct course access. The An Bang Holiday Villa is our flagship villa property for the Da Nang circuit.
