Danang GC (Nicklaus)
The Nicklaus course at Da Nang Golf Club, the second arrival of the two 18-hole championship layouts here, joined its Greg Norman-designed stablemate in 2020. The Nicklaus design lies to the west of the Norman course. Directly to the southeast is the Montgomerie Links.
With most of this layout set back from the sea on a relatively low lying floodplain, it's no surprise to find many of the holes flanked by swamps and paddy fields. Inevitably water is an abundant feature of this Nicklaus design, although good-width fairways and landing areas all help to keep the ball in play. Laid out in two nine-hole loops, both front and back-nines feature holes that play adjacent to the Coco River.
The many interconnected lakes and creeks that meander through the course are often bounded by wooden walls. These bulkheads frame several holes, and bestow on the layout an unmistakably central Floridian feel.
Stay&Play at Danang GC: adjacent luxury accommodation available, see Where2Stay section below.

Roughly in the centre of Vietnam's eastern seaboard, looking out onto the East Vietnam Sea, you'll find the country's fifth largest city, Da Nang. Within a short drive from the city is a growing and impressive hub of "links" golf courses.
Amongst their number, and in the vicinity of the town of Hoi An (south of Da Nang) are: Danang GC (Nicklaus and Norman courses), Montgomerie Links (by Monty), Vinpearl Nam Hoi An (IMG Design), and Hoiana Shores (RTJ Jr). Just north of Da Nang is the Nick Faldo designed Laguna Lang Co.
Heading inland, and on the way to a "must visit" French-themed mountain village, is the "must play" Ba Na Hills layout by Luke Donald.
Vietnam's best courses (Golf Digest, 2022):
Danang's Norman course ranked 2nd best; Nicklaus course ranked 6th best.

Sony Open in Hawaii: played at Waialae Country Club near Honolulu, the Sony Open takes over the spotlight from The Sentry as the PGA Tour’s calendar-year opening event (Jan 15-18). The Sentry (not being played in 2026) was formerly known as the Tournament of Champions, with a field typically restricted to golfers who won a PGA Tour event in the previous calendar year.
Dubai Desert Classic: the DP World Tour’s first Rolex Series event of 2026, is contested for the 37th time (Jan 22-25). First won by Englishman Mark James in 1989, it now boasts a four-time winner, Rory McIlroy. Played on the Emirates Golf Club’s Majlis course, this once desert-surrounded course is the long-time flagship for Golf in Dubai.
Our visit last month included two rounds at Golf de Chantilly, one of France’s most prestigious clubs.
It offers two superb layouts: Le Vineuil, a five-star championship course with a rich history, and Longères, an excellent four-star course that provides a strong and enjoyable test.
The wider Paris region offers plenty more. Courses such as Fontainebleau, Golf de Saint-Germain, and several other top-rated layouts make this area one of Europe’s most rewarding golf destinations, offering a mix of woodland, heathland, and parkland designs.
The Dutch: "It's no' just a game", as they say in Scotland, and that's certainly true at The Dutch. With 5-star services throughout, a lavishly comfortable Loch Lomond-inspired clubhouse, and a superbly designed and presented golf course, one could not ask for more from this top-end private club.
Join us at The Dutch from August 21–24 for the Festival of Golf, featuring the HotelPlanner Tour. Experience four days of top-tier sport, live music, incredible food, and unexpected surprises. Explore the grounds, connect with others, embrace new challenges, and dive into an unforgettable celebration. Click here to buy tickets.
