Golf in Vietnam
Including BRG Da Nang Golf Resort, Dalat Palace Golf Club, and Kings Island Golf Resort. On the map.
The vibe
Teeing off across coastal dune layouts and manicured highland courses places you in lush tropical settings where caddies accompany your every shot under dramatic mountain or ocean backdrops. Playing during the cooler, drier months keeps you out of oppressive summer heat and sudden afternoon downpours. The vibe is decidedly upscale and visitor-friendly, with modern clubhouses and attentive staff ensuring a smooth, polished round from the first drive to the nineteenth hole.
