\"IAGTO<\/a>Central Vietnam\u2019s status as an elite golf hub was reaffirmed last month as Bana Hills Golf Club was named \u201cGolf Course of the Year in Vietnam\u201d at the International Association of Golf Tour Operators (IAGTO) Awards.<\/p>\n

With championship layouts designed by legends such as Luke Donald (Ba Na Hills Golf Club), Sir Nick Faldo (Laguna Golf Lang Co), and Colin Montgomerie (Montgomerie Links), Central Vietnam has emerged as one of Asia\u2019s top destinations for play.<\/p>\n

The region\u2019s glowing reputation was burnished once again at the 2024 IAGTO Awards held in Abu Dhabi as Ba Na Hills Golf Club added to its string of honours.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are truly proud to be named \u2018Golf Course of the Year in Vietnam\u2019,\u201d said Gary Dixon, General Manager of Ba Na Hills Golf Club. \u201cThis award not only highlights the club’s achievements but also puts a positive spotlight on the entire Vietnam Golf Coast, reinforcing Central Vietnam\u2019s status as one of Asia’s premier golf tourism destinations.\u201d<\/p>\n

With its vibrant cities, incredible beaches and hotels complemented by an enviable infrastructure, the region is regarded by many observers as the continent\u2019s most complete golf destination: a fact reflected in a multitude of accolades for its clubs.<\/p>\n

Laguna Golf Lang Co and Ba Na Hills Golf Club, linchpins alongside Montgomerie Links of the Vietnam Golf Coast (VGC) \u2014 a destination marketing organization that links Central Vietnam\u2019s best signature golf layouts \u2014 were named among the top 11 golf resorts in Asia last year.<\/p>\n

The two clubs were among the superstars at the top of the leaderboard in a list compiled by Golf.com<\/a>, one of the world\u2019s leading golf titles, encompassing top golf destinations<\/a> in Korea, China, Thailand and Indonesia. Not only were the two clubs ranked among the cream of the region\u2019s golf resorts, but their inclusion in the Asia list also guaranteed them spots in the overall Top 100 Golf Resorts in the World standings.<\/p>\n

\u201cVietnam\u2019s reputation as a golf destination has never been brighter and we are confident that the cluster of courses in the centre of the country represents the jewel in its crown,\u201d said Stephen Banks, Director of Golf at Laguna Lang Co. \u201cThe courses offer a wide variety of experiences to golfers. You can play seaside coastal golf one day and enjoy terrific mountain vistas the next day.\u201d<\/p>\n

Central Vietnam\u2019s burgeoning reputation on the global stage was reflected during 2023, a year that saw the total number of rounds played on its courses reach an all-time high.<\/p>\n

The key players in the VGC are gunning for further accolades to boost the area with Montgomerie Links, Ba Na Hills Golf Club, and Laguna Golf Lang Co all nominated for the title of \u201cVietnam\u2019s Best Course\u201d at the 2024 World Golf Awards.<\/p>\n

\u201cSuccess breeds success, so it is fantastic for all of us that the clubs in Central Vietnam are earning wider recognition,\u201d said Le Vo Hoang Van, club manager at Montgomerie Links where Colin Montgomerie has fashioned old-world design elements into a challenging layout. \u201cWith all these internationally accoladed golf courses in one place, it\u2019s a great chance for golfers from all over the world to come and decide which is their favourite.\u201d<\/p>\n
