Hoiana Shores Golf Club
Hoiana Shores Golf Club – Premier RTJ II Links-Style Golf on Vietnam’s Coast
Hoiana Shores Golf Club is the first Vietnam course crafted by renowned Robert Trent Jones II Golf Course Architects. Located just 45 minutes south of Danang International Airport and a short 8 kilometers from the UNESCO World Heritage Hoi An Ancient Town, Hoiana Shores offers a unique links golfing experience along picturesque coastal dunes. The pins are topped with lanterns, paying tribute to Hoi An’s famous “City of Lanterns” nickname.
This championship 18-hole par 71 golf course spans 7,004 yards through rolling dunes and native vegetation, including Casuarina trees and coastal brush. The course features TifEagle Bermuda greens and Zeon Zoysia grass fairways and tees, preserving the natural landscape with minimal disruption. The design emphasizes ground game play typical of British Isles links courses but set in a tropical environment.
Strategically, the course provides wide corridors and multiple setup options suitable for professionals and amateurs alike. The back nine, particularly holes 15, 16, and 17, plays close to the shoreline where coastal winds add a challenging element to shot-making and club selection. The final hole finishes at the clubhouse, playing into prevailing winds for a true test of skill.
Hoiana Shores Golf Club is part of the expansive Hoiana Resort Complex, featuring luxury hotels, entertainment venues, residential areas, and retail outlets. The clubhouse blends classic 19th-century design elements with modern 21st-century amenities, including a top-tier steakhouse. The course offers a 5-star golf experience with excellent facilities and service that complement Vietnam’s legendary golf coast.
