\"\"Vietnam Golf Coast (VGC) clubs are strengthening community bonds in Central Vietnam via public-spirited initiatives.<\/p>\n

The VGC, a destination marketing collaboration between three of the area\u2019s signature golf clubs\u2014Laguna Golf Lang Co, Montgomerie Links, and Ba Na Hills Golf Club\u2014has made community engagement a cornerstone of its mission.<\/p>\n

The clubs are attracting golf enthusiasts from around the globe to a destination that has emerged as one of Asia\u2019s most enticing hubs for play. At the same time, they are dedicating resources and efforts towards the betterment of the communities in which they operate.<\/p>\n

This commitment to corporate social responsibility (CSR) is embodied through various projects that contribute significantly to the welfare of local communities.<\/p>\n

A standout initiative under this banner is Green Hope 2024, a life-saving project that addresses one of the most pressing issues in Vietnam today\u2014child drowning. Drowning ranks among the top ten causes of death for children aged 5-14 in Vietnam, particularly in rural areas where access to swimming education is limited.<\/p>\n

Green Hope 2024, supported by VGC linchpin Montgomerie Links, offers free swimming lessons and anti-drowning skills to children in Quang Nam province.<\/p>\n

“Our role extends beyond providing world-class golf experiences. By equipping children with essential life skills, we are investing in the future of our community,” said Le Vo Hoang Van, club manager at Montgomerie Links.<\/p>\n

Efforts to foster community ties are also in strong evidence at Laguna Golf Lang Co, a club renowned for its sustainability and CSR programs. Its \u201cedible golf course\u201d initiative \u2014 where resident water buffalo tend the rice fields on the course \u2014 has captured the imagination of a global audience. The paddies yield up to 20 tons of rice used to support the organic farm at Laguna Lang Co and donated to families and seniors in the area.<\/p>\n

Other important initiatives include free golf lessons in local schools. This initiative promotes the sport among young people and teaches important values such as discipline, teamwork, and respect for others. These lessons, taught by professional instructors from the clubs, are offered free of charge and are part of a broader effort to make golf more accessible to the youth of Central Vietnam.<\/p>\n

“As we introduce golf to local students, we\u2019re not just teaching them a sport\u2014we\u2019re providing them with skills and values that will benefit them in all aspects of life,” said Stephen Banks, director of golf at Laguna Golf Lang Co<\/p>\n

Vietnam Golf Coast clubs regularly organise fundraising golf events. These events serve as vital platforms for raising funds for local charities and community projects. Funds are channelled towards various causes, including education, healthcare, and environmental conservation, reinforcing the clubs’ commitment to being a force for good in the community.<\/p>\n

The Vietnam Golf Coast clubs also contribute to the local economy through employment. The clubs employ a significant number of local staff \u2014 as caddies, greenkeepers, admin, and hospitality roles \u2014 offering stable jobs with competitive wages and opportunities for professional development.<\/p>\n

“Our clubs are deeply intertwined with the local community, and we see our employees as an integral part of our success,\u201d said Gary Dixon, General Manager of Ba Na Hills Golf Club. \u201cBy offering meaningful employment, we are helping to sustain local families and contributing to the broader economic health of the region.\u201d<\/p>\n
