Best Da Nang Golf Courses, Play Golf in Da Nang 2026/2027

Da Nang is the closest thing Vietnam has to a full-service golf destination. Six courses are accessible within an hour’s drive of the city centre, designed by names like Greg Norman, Colin Montgomerie, Luke Donald, and Robert Trent Jones Jr. The layouts range from coastal links to mountain jungle golf, and you can comfortably play a different course every day for nearly a week without repeating. That kind of variety and volume, in a city with an international airport, a long sandy coastline, and the UNESCO-listed ancient town of Hoi An 30 minutes down the road, is hard to match anywhere else in Southeast Asia.

The city sits on central Vietnam’s coast, with direct international flights from across Asia and domestic connections from Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City. Most courses are within 15 to 40 minutes of the airport. Hoi An is about 30 kilometres south, and Hue is roughly 100 kilometres north via the scenic Hai Van Pass. That geography makes Da Nang the natural hub for central Vietnam golf travel, whether you are staying in the city, basing yourself in Hoi An, or building a broader route that includes Hue or Dong Hoi.

Best golf courses in Da Nang

Da Nang and the surrounding area have six courses, which gives you genuine choice across different styles and designers. Picking the right ones depends on your playing level, your schedule, and whether your accommodation is in Da Nang city or Hoi An.

1. BRG Da Nang Golf Resort

According to GolfLux course information, BRG Da Nang Golf Resort is an 18-hole par 72 links-style layout measuring 7,160 yards, designed by Greg Norman. It was the first 18-hole course in the central region. The course runs along the coastline near the Marble Mountains, with blown-out bunkers, firm and fast playing surfaces, and an open, wind-exposed layout.

This is the course that put Da Nang on the golf map. Greg Norman designed it as a true links experience, and the conditions reflect that: the turf is firm, the wind is a factor, and the bunkers are deep. Golfers who enjoy tactical, ground-game golf will find it rewarding. The Marble Mountains are visible from several holes, which adds to the visual experience.

BRG Da Nang suits intermediate to advanced golfers who want a links test, and anyone who wants to play the course that started Da Nang’s reputation as a golf destination.

2. Ba Na Hills Golf Club

According to GolfLux course information, Ba Na Hills Golf Club is an 18-hole par 72 course measuring 7,857 yards, located at the foot of the Ba Na Hills mountain range, about 25 to 30 minutes from Da Nang city. The course was designed by Luke Donald.

At nearly 7,900 yards from the tips, this is one of the longest courses in Vietnam and among the more challenging layouts in the region. The mountain setting means elevation changes, cooler temperatures than the coast, and a different visual atmosphere from the links courses closer to the beach. Ba Na Hills also offers night golf facilities, which is unusual in Vietnam.

This course suits golfers who want a serious challenge and enjoy mountain-style golf.

3. Montgomerie Links Vietnam

According to GolfLux course information, Montgomerie Links Vietnam is an 18-hole par 72 course measuring 7,019 yards, designed by Colin Montgomerie. Located in Dien Ban, Quang Nam Province, the course was named one of Asia’s ten most elite courses by the 2012 Forbes Travel Guide.

The course is designed as a links-style layout that capitalises on its coastal position. It has been recognised repeatedly as one of Vietnam’s top courses and hosted events including the 2017 APEC summit golf programme. The layout is accessible to golfers of varying abilities, with the challenge building progressively through the round.

Montgomerie Links suits golfers of all levels, groups and corporate events, and travelers staying between Da Nang and Hoi An.

4. Hoiana Shores Golf Club

According to GolfLux course information, Hoiana Shores Golf Club is an 18-hole course located about 8 kilometres from Hoi An, designed by Robert Trent Jones Jr. The course sits along a coastal stretch with natural terrain.

The RTJ Jr design and proximity to Hoi An make this a strong choice for golfers basing themselves in the ancient town rather than in Da Nang city. The newer course condition and coastal position have drawn positive reviews from golfers looking for variety beyond the more established Da Nang courses.

Which course is better?

If you want a classic links experience, BRG Da Nang Golf Resort is the benchmark. If you want the longest and most challenging layout with a mountain backdrop, Ba Na Hills is the pick. Montgomerie Links is the most balanced option for groups with mixed abilities. For Hoi An-based golfers, Hoiana Shores and Vinpearl Golf Nam Hoi An are the most convenient. With six courses available, a four or five day Da Nang golf trip can include three or four different rounds without any feeling of repetition.

Best time to play golf in Da Nang

Da Nang’s climate sits between northern and southern Vietnam patterns. According to Vietnam’s official tourism information, the dry season runs from February to August, with the rainy season from September to January.

February to May. The best window. Temperatures are warm (22 to 30 degrees Celsius), humidity is manageable, and rainfall is low. All six courses are in good condition, and the weather suits both golf and beach time. Book early for this period, as it is also peak international tourism season.

June to August. Still good for golf, though temperatures climb higher, particularly in July. Morning tee times become more important. Ba Na Hills, with its higher elevation, is noticeably cooler than the coastal courses. Beach conditions remain excellent.

September to November. The rainy season. Heavy rain can come in afternoon bursts, and October and November are the wettest months. Golf is still possible, especially with morning rounds, and many courses offer lower rates. Typhoon risk exists in October and November, so flexible scheduling is important.

December to January. Cooler and sometimes wet, but conditions improve through January. Green fees and hotel rates tend to be lower, which can make this a practical budget window for golf travelers who are flexible about weather.

Da Nang golf holidays and package tours

Da Nang is Vietnam’s most packaged golf destination, with options ranging from short weekend breaks to week-long multi-course itineraries. The international airport, extensive hotel network, and proximity to Hoi An and Hue mean you can build almost any trip format.

A typical Da Nang golf package includes hotel accommodation in Da Nang or Hoi An, airport transfers, tee times at two to four courses, caddie and cart, and often a half-day Hoi An old town visit or a My Khe Beach day.

Some available packages on GolfLux:

• Da Nang Golf Packages covering 3 to 10 day programmes with multiple course options
• Hoi An Golf Packages for travelers basing themselves in the ancient town
• Da Nang – Hue Golf Package 4 Days combining courses in both cities (from $830 per person)
• Hue – Da Nang Golf Package 5 Days extending the central Vietnam route

For a custom itinerary, the trip planner lets you specify preferred courses, dates, and accommodation style.

Da Nang is one of the easiest Vietnam golf destinations for couples and mixed-interest groups. Hoi An’s old town, My Khe Beach, the Marble Mountains, Ba Na Hills cable car, and central Vietnamese street food give non-golfers a full schedule while the golfer works through the course rotation.

Golf with beach and heritage travel in Da Nang

Da Nang’s combination of golf with a long sandy coastline and the UNESCO-listed Hoi An Ancient Town is what sets it apart from single-purpose golf destinations. My Khe Beach, accessible from most Da Nang hotels within minutes, is consistently cited as one of the best urban beaches in Asia. Hoi An, about 30 minutes south, is a preserved trading port with Japanese bridges, Chinese assembly halls, French colonial architecture, and a lantern-lit riverside that looks different from anywhere else in Vietnam.

A practical five-day itinerary: arrive at Da Nang airport, play BRG Da Nang in the afternoon. Day two, play Ba Na Hills in the morning and visit the Golden Bridge in the afternoon. Day three, drive to Hoi An, play Hoiana Shores, and spend the evening walking the old town. Day four, play Montgomerie Links in the morning, beach in the afternoon. Day five, a free morning for My Khe Beach or Marble Mountains before your flight.

For golfers extending to Hue, add one or two days north for Laguna Lang Co and Golden Sands, with the Hai Van Pass drive connecting the two destinations.

Book tee times in Da Nang

Da Nang has the most developed booking infrastructure of any Vietnam golf destination. With six courses, there is usually availability, but the most popular courses (BRG Da Nang and Montgomerie Links in particular) can fill up during peak season from February to May, and during Vietnamese holiday periods.

When booking, confirm:

• Which courses you want to play and in what order
• Your ideal dates and tee times
• Morning versus afternoon preference
• Whether you need club rental
• Cart and caddie arrangements
• Whether you are staying in Da Nang city or Hoi An (affects transfer times)
• Whether you want to include a Hue extension

Green fees in Da Nang typically range from $100 to $180 per round including caddie and cart, which is competitive by regional standards. Morning tee times are generally better from June to August and during the rainy season. If you are playing multiple courses across several days, spacing them with a sightseeing or beach day in between keeps the trip from feeling like a golf marathon and gives you time to appreciate what makes this area special beyond the courses.
