Hoiana Shores
Hoiana Shores Golf Club is a relatively recent addition to Vietnam's "golf coast", which lies mainly, but not exclusively, a few miles south of Da Nang. The super-linksy layout was crafted by the prolific Robert Trent Jones Jr and his inexorable firm of golf course architects ... marking their first project in Vietnam.
If "pure links" conjures up thoughts of golfing directly beside the sea, with rolling fairways lacing their way through vast acreages of sand, then Hoiana Shores ticks the box. In this part of the world, monetising the beachfront land usually takes precedence over all other considerations. But here we are treated to six beachside golf holes ... more than is usually the case.
Built on a vast area of sandy duneland the two nine-hole loops contain very little water. But you'll find more dunes, sandy waste areas and "blowout" bunkers than you'd dare to imagine. Like many a wind-blown links, the green sites are suitably large and undulating.
As a nod to the winds that frequently fan this coast, the flagsticks are topped by red baskets (à la Merion GC) ... rather than flapping drapeaux. And all this framed by majestic views of the East Vietnam Sea, the offshore Cham Islands, and inland to the Truong Son (aka Annamite) mountains ... and very little invasive real estate!

Facing seaward, Hoiana Shores' luxurious two-storey clubhouse is just one of the impressive features of this excellent addition to the golfing scene around Da Nang and nearby Hội An.
The "Da Nang-Hội An" golf destination is now home to several of Vietnam's top-rated courses, designed (or at least co-designed) by some legends of the game. Danang GC boasts two championship courses, one by Nicklaus Design, the other by Greg Norman. In addition, there's Montgomerie Links (by Monty), Vinpearl Nam Hoi An (IMG Design), and Hoiana Shores (by Robert Trent Jones Jr).
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. Just north of Da Nang is the Nick Faldo-designed Laguna Lang Co, one of Vietnam's highest rated courses.
Vietnam's 4th best course (Golf Digest, 2022).
World's 94th best public access course (GOLF World, 2023).

The Masters: The 88th Masters Tournament at Augusta National sees LIV golfer Jon Rahm defend his title against the world’s best. Pressing hard will be world No.1 and 2022 champion Scottie Scheffler and world No.2 Rory McIlroy (April 11-14).
Chevron Championship: the women’s major championship season gets underway for the second year at its new Carlton Woods home outside Houston, Texas. World No.2 Lilia Vu defends (April 18-21).
Nelly Korda: records a perfect start to 2024 with four wins out of her last four appearances on the LPGA Tour, a feat last achieved by Lorena Ochoa in 2008. Korda's win at the T-Mobile Match Play brought up her 12th LPGA Tour victory.
Scottie Scheffler: narrowly missed out on matching Nelly Korda’s three-in-three, when he placed second at the Houston Open. This followed back-to-back wins at the Arnold Palmer Invitational and The Players. Like Korda, he remains comfortably ahead in the official world golf rankings.
Marco Simone Golf & Country Club: With a clubhouse that might befit a Roman Emperor, and a golf course to match, you can be sure of a memorable outing at Rome's most talked about golf facility.
Jim Fazio's original layout was much changed to create a modern Ryder Cup course ... now one of the Eternal City's (and Italy's) most revered.
Here at Prince’s Golf Club you'll find 27 excellent holes of links golf. Just over the fence and sharing similar terrain is Royal St George’s; but Prince’s is far from overshadowed by its venerable neighbour. The three nine-hole loops at Prince's, laid out over gently undulating terrain, are sure to bring a smile of satisfaction to all lovers of links golf.
Stay&Play at Prince's: excellent onsite Lodge accommodation available
