\"New<\/a>Lang Co, Vietnam, September 7, 2024 \/ TRAVELINDEX \/ The striking beauty of Laguna Golf Lang Co, one of Asia’s most visually stunning clubs, is showcased in a new set of images captured by leading US photographer Patrick Koenig.<\/p>\n

Threading between trees, over rice paddies and streams, through rock features and alongside the pounding surf, the course\u2014designed by UK great Sir Nick Faldo\u2014is tricky to categorize. One thing that everybody agrees on though is the sheer visual manna on offer at the course, which is nestled between mountains and the ocean.<\/p>\n

Koenig\u2019s photographs brilliantly capture the qualities that make Laguna Golf Lang Co such a beguiling prospect for visiting golfers.<\/p>\n

“We are thrilled to unveil these incredible new images of our course,” said Stephen Banks, a fellow of the PGA and Director of Golf at Laguna Golf Lang Co. “Patrick Koenig\u2019s work captures the essence of Laguna Golf Lang Co, reflecting our commitment to preserving the natural beauty of our surroundings while delivering an exceptional golfing experience.”<\/p>\n

Koenig was commissioned to shoot Laguna Golf Lang Co and other tracks in Vietnam by luxury golf tour operator Asia Golf Trips. And while the weather didn\u2019t always cooperate during Koenig\u2019s nine-day visit, it didn\u2019t prevent him from coming away with images that solidify the country\u2019s newfound international standing.<\/p>\n

\u201cFinally there are photos that do justice to how good Vietnam\u2019s best courses are,\u201d said Asia Golf Trips<\/a> founder Scott Resch.<\/p>\n

While it would be pushing it to call Laguna Golf Lang Co a \u201clinks\u201d, the classic \u201cout-and-back\u201d routing and the tang of the salty air certainly offer an invigorating hit of tradition.\u00a0 The ocean heaves into view on the 9th\u2014a par-4 played alongside the beach. Equally stunning is the short 11th, played from an elevated tee to a green surrounded by rock features.<\/p>\n

The mountains encroach closest to the course at this point, with a tumbling waterfall prominent in the near distance. Other excellent holes, meanwhile, include the closing 18th, a rollercoaster ride of a long hole that plays back to the clubhouse.<\/p>\n

Last year Laguna Lang Co was named among the top 11 golf resorts in Asia in a list compiled by TOP25 Golf Courses<\/a>, one of the world\u2019s leading golf sites. Its inclusion in the Asia list also secured it a spot in the top golf resorts in the World standings.<\/p>\n

The property encompasses the Sir Nick Faldo Signature Design at Laguna Golf Lang Co as well as award-winning resorts Banyan Tree Lang Co and Angsana Lang Co.<\/p>\n

Laguna Golf Lang Co is one of the draws burnishing the global reputation of Central Vietnam, an area that is now established as one of Asia\u2019s most prized golf destinations.<\/p>\n

The region, marketed as the Vietnam Golf Coast (VGC), has emerged as a hub for golf travel in Asia thanks to an array of layouts designed by luminaries including European legends Faldo, Luke Donald\u00a0 (Ba Na Hills Golf Club), and Colin Montgomerie (Montgomerie Links), as well as other huge names like Greg Norman and Robert Trent Jones Jr.<\/p>\n
