Vietnam, which already boasts some impressive courses, is shaping up as a new golfing paradise, especially in the heritage-rich Central Coast region.
Fast developing as an international luxury tourism hot spot, this region has launched two world-class golf courses in the past two years, with more in the pipeline.
'Various factors have conspired to peg Da Nang as Vietnam's top golf destination - one of Southeast Asia's finest,' says Mark Siegel, chief executive of GolfAsian Vietnam.
Located minutes apart, alongside Da Nang's historic China Beach and a new wave of luxury international beach resorts, Montgomerie Links and Danang Golf Club Dunes Course (DGCDC) weave through wild seaside landscape with outstanding links-style courses.
Designed by British golfer Colin Montgomerie and opened in 2009, the par-72 Montgomerie Links was Central Coast's first 18-hole course and is regarded as one of Asia's best new courses, while DGCDC, which opened last year, features 18 challenging holes designed by Australian legend Greg Norman.
Among several courses planned for the Central Coast, two notable ones will launch next year.
