Staff WriterIf you’re partial to a 5-iron and a bit of soul, the Vietnam Golf Coast should be top of your tee sheet this summer.
From the shimmering shorelines of Da Nang to the rice-paddied fairways of Hue, this corner of Central Vietnam is teeing up something extraordinary: a golfing escape steeped in scenery, spice, and spectacular shot-making.
And yes, there are deals as sweet as a well-struck wedge. With stay-and-play packages now in full swing, it’s not just golfers flocking to this stretch of coast – it’s bucket-listers, couples, and anyone chasing the rare blend of tranquillity and tropical thrill.
Take Laguna Golf Lang Co, where the fairways don’t just flirt with nature – they embrace it like an old friend.
Threaded with golden rice fields nearing harvest, the course is positively aglow in late May and June, delivering views that could make a monk weep mid-backswing.
“This is one of the most enchanting times to play,” says Stephen Banks, Director of Golf, who highlights the course’s deep connection to Vietnam’s landscapes and traditions.
Laguna is laying out the red carpet for visiting golfers with three summer steals: the Golf & Spa package, where tired shoulders meet skilled hands post-round; a Golf Express deal for those who treat their schedule like a ticking bomb; and Golden Rice Flash Sales—because even birdies taste better with a bargain.
Up in the clouds – almost literally – Ba Na Hills Golf Club offers a cooler, calmer alternative. Wrapped in pine forests and kissed by mountain mist, it’s where golf swings slower and thoughts settle a little deeper.
“Every time I walk this course, I’m reminded why golf in the mountains feels different – calmer, clearer, and more connected,” says General Manager Simon Mees.
That serenity comes with a side of local flavour. The Twi-Night Golf package (from VND2,600,000) lets you sneak in a round before dusk, complete with a complimentary beer and weekday flexibility.
For those who fancy swinging under the stars, Night Golf group bookings (from VND2,500,000 per player) come with local craft beer and the club’s now-iconic Ba Na sausage. It’s golf, but with a chaser.
Meanwhile, down where the casuarina pines dance with ocean breeze, Montgomerie Links offers that familiar seaside links feel—only with Vietnamese flair.
Think fairways rolling towards the Marble Mountains and views dotted with traditional fishing boats, the sort of scene that makes you forget about your three-putt on the last green.
“Montgomerie Links captures the spirit of true links golf, but with a distinct Vietnamese character,” says Club Manager Le Vo Hoang Van.
The club’s Stay & Play package (from VND4,770,000) is running until September 30, 2025, making it easy to turn a weekend into a full-blown pilgrimage.
But to call the Vietnam Golf Coast just a golf destination would be selling it short. These clubs are cultural outposts as much as they are championship layouts.
Expect caddies in conical non-la hats, cold ca phe sua da served with your post-round bun thit nuong, and clubhouses that smell like a foodie’s dream.
Off-course adventures beckon too. Laguna is a short drive from Hue, Vietnam’s imperial heartland, while Montgomerie and Ba Na Hills are flanked by Da Nang’s beaches, firework festivals, and noodle-slinging night markets. UNESCO-listed Hoi An? Just down the road – and worth every step.
So whether it’s sea-level swings, highland haze, or the golden glow of rice-field fairways that calls to you, the Vietnam Golf Coast delivers – and then some.
Bring your clubs, bring your appetite, and maybe bring an extra sleeve of balls. You’ll thank yourself later.
