Montgomerie Links Vietnam

The Montgomerie Links, located just off historical Danang Beach and minutes from the Danang City, is a stunning 7090 yard par-72 golf course. The course was rated as one of Asia’s ten most elite courses by the 2012 Forbes Travel Guide and most recently voted as 'Vietnam's Best Championship Course 2013' by the Vietnam Golf Magazine. Since then, yearly awards are common for Montgomerie.

Nearby Hoi An, known for being a UNESCO World Heritage site, also has a fantastic beachscape, making the perfect palette for this links-style course. Locals know the Montgomerie Links Vietnam as Monty Links, which gives golfers the feeling of being in Ireland or Scotland without the cold temperatures of the British Isles! The first golf course in central Vietnam takes advantage of its proximity to both the Vietnam East Sea and the Marble Mountains; the latter is visible from many points.

Eight-time European Tour Order of Merit winner Colin Montgomerie, better known as Monty to his worldwide fan base, has massaged massive greens and rippled fairways into the stunning backdrop, setting up a golfer's course. Montgomerie Links has outstanding natural features. The sandy soil, wind-blown dunes, and indigenous vegetation combine in creating the framework for this links-style golf course along the Vietnam East Sea. Only a few other flagship layouts in Dubai, Ireland, and Wales can boast the Montgomerie namesake.

A product of Royal Troon in Scotland, a British Open rotation mainstay, Monty has implemented classic, old-world design elements into the Danang golf course, such as rolling, treeless fairways, thick rough, massive greens, and tight chipping areas. Among the memorable holes are 7 and 13, a pair of par-4's with some of the deepest bunkers on the course. The only departure from tradition comes in several lakes and streams, a must when considering the region's seasonably high water table. The course caters to players of all abilities as holes are routed through an incredibly natural formation of dunes, heartlands, and seaside vegetation.

In addition to Colin Montgomerie's championship golf course, there is a large contemporary clubhouse, comprehensive driving range/practice facility, and residential development called The Estates at the Montgomerie Links.

Golf course specialists manage the course, which ensures excellent quality and superb conditions year-round. Montgomerie Links Vietnam is a must-play for anyone on a golf holiday in Danang or Hoi An.
