Samson Links
FLC Samson Golf Links: This well-regarded Nicklaus design is laid out on a peninsula of land that offers east-facing views onto the East Vietnam Sea and north-facing onto the Ma River delta. The course's exposed position ensures unpredictable winds blow across the links-style design ... as would be the case on any self-respecting British seaside links.
The layout's links-style credentials, with rolling fairways and hard, fast conditions, are slightly compromised by the presence of five ponds and small lakes, which frequently bring water into play.
Stay&Play at Samson Links: luxury onsite accommodation available, see Where2Stay section below.
Visitors welcome on weekdays and weekends. Closed on Mondays.
Must book in advance.
