Danang Golf Club (Nicklaus course)

4-star: Above average course - well worth a visit.

Est. 2018

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.

Did you know?

All 18 holes on Danang GC's Nicklaus Course are floodlight for night golf.

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.

Published ranking

Vietnam's best courses (Golf Digest, 2022):
