10 MUST-PLAY GOLF COURSES IN VIETNAM FOR YOUR 2026 BUCKET LIST
January 02, 2026
Posted by My Ly
At the World Golf Awards 2025, Vietnam once again reaffirmed its standing on the regional golf map by being named Asia’s Best Golf Destination for the ninth consecutive year. This recognition reflects the steady and long-term development of golf in Vietnam, from well-planned course development and internationally recognised designs to service standards that increasingly rival the region’s leading golf destinations.
Today, Vietnam has become a familiar and compelling choice for international golfers thanks to its rare diversity of landscapes and playing experiences. From wind-swept coastal links courses to fairways set among cool-climate highlands and forested hills, each golf course contributes a distinct character to the overall journey of discovering golf in Vietnam.
For golfers planning their Vietnam golf experience in 2026, below are ten of the most worthwhile stops on the country’s golf map, selected for their design quality, playing experience and long-standing recognition by the golfing community.
1. MONTGOMERIE LINKS GOLF CLUB (DA NANG)
Montgomerie Links holds a special place in Vietnam’s golf history as the first golf course in Central Vietnam designed by legendary Ryder Cup captain Colin Montgomerie. True to classic links philosophy, the course makes full use of the region’s coastal terrain, where wind, sand and wide-open fairways combine to create a strategic and engaging challenge. Highly regarded by industry professionals, Montgomerie Links has been named “Best Golf Course in Asia-Pacific” multiple times by Asian Golf Magazine and continues to feature in international rankings and award nominations, clear evidence of its enduring status on Vietnam’s golf map.
Beyond that, the balance between championship golf, leisure comfort and event capability makes Montgomerie Links an ideal starting point for any golf journey in Vietnam.
2. THE BLUFFS GRAND HO TRAM (HO CHI MINH)
Designed by Greg Norman, The Bluffs Grand Ho Tram is one of the very few courses in Vietnam to fully embrace its natural coastal dune landscape. Several holes sit more than 50 metres above sea level, offering dramatic tee shots and sweeping ocean views that are rarely matched elsewhere.
Its raw terrain, minimalist design and constantly shifting sea winds have earned The Bluffs multiple “Best Golf Course in Vietnam” titles at the World Golf Awards, as well as consistent recognition in international golf rankings. For golfers seeking an authentic links experience and a true test against the elements, The Bluffs remains a benchmark course.
3. HOIANA SHORES GOLF CLUB (DA NANG)
Hoiana Shores Golf Club, designed by Robert Trent Jones Jr., is a pure links course set on coastal sand dunes near the UNESCO-listed town of Hoi An. Wide fairways, deep bunkers and open exposure to seasonal sea winds place a strong emphasis on strategy rather than sheer distance. Its greatest advantage lies in location, allowing golfers to combine a classic links round with cultural exploration and luxury resort stays. Hoiana Shores offers a balanced journey where golf, heritage and leisure naturally complement one another.
4. KN GOLF LINKS CAM RANH (KHANH HOA)
Located on the Cam Ranh peninsula, one of central Vietnam’s sunniest and windiest coastal regions, KN Golf Links Cam Ranh delivers a spacious links-style layout with long fairways, large greens and minimal natural shelter. Wind direction and sunlight play a decisive role throughout the round, requiring constant tactical adjustment. Operated to international standards and regularly selected for tournaments, the course also retains the relaxed atmosphere of a seaside resort, making it suitable for both competitive golfers and extended leisure stays.
5. LAGUNA GOLF LANG CO (HUE)
Laguna Golf Lang Co is among the few courses in Vietnam that fully showcase a transition of landscapes—from mountains and rice fields to lagoons and the sea. Designed by Sir Nick Faldo, each hole feels like a distinct chapter, demanding different shot choices and approaches. The serene environment, combined with dramatic scenery, has made Laguna Lang Co a familiar stop on high-end golf tours, particularly for golfers who value variety and depth of experience.
6. BA NA HILLS GOLF CLUB (DA NANG)
Set at the foothills of Ba Na Mountain, Ba Na Hills Golf Club offers a markedly different experience from Central Vietnam’s coastal courses. Rolling terrain, elevation changes and a cooler year-round climate create challenging rounds largely unaffected by sea winds.
The course design embraces natural contours, resulting in numerous doglegs and narrow fairways that reward accuracy. It serves as a valuable change of pace, especially for golfers eager to test their skills in complex terrain.
7. LEGEND DA NANG GOLF RESORT (DA NANG)
With its convenient location near the city centre, Legend Da Nang Golf Resort is ideal for golfers with limited time who still wish to experience championship-level golf. As Da Nang’s only 36-hole facility, the course is well regarded for consistent maintenance and its ability to host large-scale tournaments. Its proximity to beaches, restaurants and cultural attractions makes it a frequent inclusion in itineraries combining golf with local lifestyle experiences.
8. VINPEARL GOLF NAM HOI AN (DA NANG)
Situated between Da Nang and Hoi An, Vinpearl Golf Nam Hoi An offers excellent accessibility for resort-based golf travel. The open design, generous fairways and approachable greens make the course suitable for golfers of varying skill levels, particularly leisure travellers. Supported by an integrated resort ecosystem and reliable service standards, it has become a popular stop on packaged golf tours for international visitors.
9. SKY LAKE RESORT & GOLF CLUB (HANOI)
Representing northern Vietnam, Sky Lake Resort & Golf Club is set in a tranquil environment not far from central Hanoi. The club features two contrasting 18-hole layouts, blending water features with gently rolling hills to create varied playing conditions.
Seasonal weather changes add further character, ensuring that each visit offers a different experience. Sky Lake remains a preferred option for golfers looking to combine golf with Hanoi’s rich cultural and culinary scene.
10. DALAT PALACE GOLF CLUB (DA LAT)
Dalat Palace Golf Club is one of Vietnam’s oldest and most heritage-rich courses. Located over 1,500 metres above sea level, it enjoys a cool climate year-round, with gently sloping terrain framed by pine forests and colonial-era architecture.
The golfing experience here is calm, reflective and slightly nostalgic—distinctly different from the energy of coastal courses. Dalat Palace is often considered a fitting conclusion to a cross-country golf journey, inviting golfers to slow down and appreciate the game’s deeper rhythm.
As Vietnam’s golf map continues to mature, each course represents more than just a place to play, it reflects the landscape, climate and identity of its region. For golfers seeking a journey that is both comprehensive and emotionally engaging, Vietnam in 2026 is no longer an emerging destination, but a mature golf experience worth returning to time and again, each visit revealing something new.
