Created by golfing legend Colin Montgomerie, Montgomerie Links Golf Course is truly an international 5-star championship links style course that tees up challenging and enjoyable play for all levels of golfers from around the world.
The 2012 Forbes Travel Guide rated Montgomerie Links as one of Asia’s ten most elite courses. It has been designed to capitalize on its close proximity to the warm, tranquil East Sea and famed Marble Mountains, which are clearly visible from various points on the 18-hole course.
The over-arching design philosophy behind all of Colin Montgomerie’s designs is to work closely with natural characteristics of each site. Montgomerie Links Vietnam has many truly outstanding natural features. The sandy soil, wind-blown dunes, and indigenous vegetation combine to create the framework for a very strong links-style golf course that caters to players of all abilities and is a sheer delight to play.
The traditional links style design features sandy soil, wind-blown dunes, existing native vegetation, strategically placed bunkers, generous and undulating greens and closely mown chipping areas. The course also hosts more water holes than most links courses, including lakes and streams that add further aesthetic appeal. Honored with prestigious awards through the years, the professionally maintained facility offers golfers a full service experience, including chipping and putting greens that mirror the exact condition of the course and a 30-bay undercover driving range.
Although the course doesn’t officially have a signature hole, the stunning par-5 12th is truly memorable. Playing slightly uphill to a bunker-riddled fairway, the hole is framed by the clubhouse in the background and has been described as the best par-5 in Vietnam.
After golf, players can relax in beautifully designed modern club facilities, including all-day dining and lounge featuring international and Vietnamese cuisine, Jacuzzi, fitness center, as well as meeting room access and free high-speed internet. Overnight guests will enjoy the newly opened Montgomerie Links Hotel & Villas with five star accommodations featuring stunning fairway views, complimentary minibar, ultra fluffy pillow-topped mattress and dreamy pillows, refreshing rain shower, a 43” Flat Screen TV and luxurious bathroom amenities. The private and spacious 3-bedroom pool villas are set in the heart of the course with elevated positioning to maximize magnificent views over sweeping fairways and extending out to mountain ranges in the south and west and across to the South China Sea on the east.
Montgomerie Links strives to ensure that all golfers who visit enjoy a wonderful experience, providing additional services and facilities including PGA golf academy and instructors, undercover driving range, rental equipment, caddies, golf cart and pro shop. Individual players and golfing groups are welcome, as well as special parties, events, weddings and banquets.
Montgomerie Links is ideally situated at the foot of the Marble Mountains on Vietnam’s fabled Central Coast. This region has established itself as the country’s premiere leisure destination with hundreds of kilometres of pristine beachfront, and extensive cultural, natural, and recreational amenities. Its location, lifestyle and recreational attractions are unique in every respect.
Montgomerie Links is located midway between Hoi An (a UNESCO World Heritage Site) and Danang, Vietnam’s vibrant third largest city. It is just 15 minutes drive from Danang International Airport, which is serviced by direct local and international flights. Two other UNESCO World Heritage Sites, the Imperial City of Hue and My Son Sanctuary, are also within easy reach.
The course and villas are both a short walk from My Khe Beach, named “one of the top ten most beautiful beaches in the world” by Forbes magazine. This beautiful beach will soon host the Central Coast’s newest and most exclusive private residents’ Beach Club.
Montgomerie Links Vietnam’s reputation as a world-class course has already reached across Asia. Golfers come to play the unique links-style course and enjoy Danang’s sunny weather, accessible beaches and varied tourist sites.
