Golfasian - Asian Golf Holiday Experts in Thailand, Vietnam, Cambodia, Malaysia, Singapore, Indonesia, Laos & Myanmar
Service to and from Danang offered Tuesdays, Fridays DA NANG, Viet Nam (Nov. 2, 2010) – Two months after four of Central Vietnam’s top properties partnered to form the Vietnam Golf Coast (www.vietnamgolfcoast.com), the country’s flagship carrier is opening up the destination via Hong Kong. Starting Nov. 26, Vietnam Airlines (VNA) flies Tuesdays and Fridays between Southeast Asia’s busiest airport and Danang, fast becoming a tourist hot spot for its singular combination of unspoiled beaches, world-class resorts and brand-name golf courses. “The time is right,” said Jimmy Wong, general manager of VietLink, the route’s general service agent. “Danang itself is ready. And when the new international terminal is finished in January, I’ll bet other airlines follow suit.” Danang’s appeal skyrocketed earlier this year, when both the Greg Norman-designed Danang Golf Club and Colin Montgomerie-crafted Montgomerie Links officially opened side by side along breathtaking Ha My Beach. Soon thereafter, discussions began between the golf clubs, two of the area’s most upscale resorts – The Nam Hai and Life Resort Danang – and Asia’s leading golf tour operator, Golfasian, about teaming to promote the fledgling Central Coast. In mid August, the idea became reality with the launch of the Vietnam Golf Coast, a consortium that coordinates for tourists the destination’s finest assets, all in one place. “The beauty of Central Vietnam is that it’s got something for everyone,” said Howie Roberts, Danang Golf Club‘s general manager. “Yes, beaches and golf and great hotels. But you’re also within two hours of three UNESCO World Heritage sites. And that includes Hoi An, which is just 20 minutes away and a haven for foodies, shopaholics and history buffs.” For all of their culinary and cultural attributes, Hoi An and Danang owe the aerial attention to the publicity being heaped on Vietnam Golf Coast’s founding members. Asian Golf Monthly readers recently voted Montgomerie LinksBest Course in Vietnam“. Golf Digest Singapore and Hong Kong Golfer have already compared the Dunes Course at Danang GC to the UK’s great links layouts. Travel + Leisure tabbed The Nam Hai “Best Resort in the World” in its 2008 Design Competition. And the seven-month-old Life Resort Danang is the latest in a five-star line of Life Resorts properties continually hailed by leading travel publications. “The next, most critical step for this destination is the establishment of a direct, international link,” said Dermot Murphy, Life Resort Danang‘s general manager. “The accommodation capacity is here; the golf is here; the natural and cultural assets are here. Now all we need are the red carpets rolled out from Hong Kong and Singapore.” VNA’s flight from Hong Kong leaves at 7:20 p.m. and arrives in Danang at 8 p.m. The return departs Danang at 3:30 p.m. and lands in Hong Kong at 6:15 p.m. Commute time is approximately one hour and 40 minutes. Return airfares start at US$318, including taxes. For more information about this new service, or to make reservations, visit www.vietlink.com.hk or call (+84) 511 391 8888, extension 6688.

    • Our Danang golf tour has just finished. We played the 4 great courses there, and played them twice. Our group was 10 pax, from being met at the airport and being delivered to our hotel, and then for our 8 days of golf, everything was perfect. I would like to specially thank Miss Huong who did so much to help us before and during our tour, and also our driver/tour guide Lucky who is not only a lovely man, but was funny, full of knowledge which he was happy to share with us, and he is a great and safe driver. Well done to the Golf Asian team. We would not hesitate to recommend them for a golf tour in Asia. Don’t try to do it yourself, use Golf Asian..5 stars..😀

    • 13 of us have just concluded our annual golf trip and this year was organised through GolfAsian Vietnam. Had the best ever experience from first enquiry to finally getting rid of us 😀. No dramas whatsoever from the known drama queens in our group 🤣 which is a good thing! I would like to especially acknowledge Ms Sophie and our guide for the trip Harry for an exceptional job. You will be getting our business again definitely!!
      On behalf of Good Morning Vietnam Golf Tour 2018 Good job everyone🏌️‍♂️

    • Just returned from Thailand golfasian could not do enough for us. This the second time we have used them for our golf holidays and because of the current situation with the outbreak of covid 19 we had to make changes at very short notice. Kim dealt with all our changes in a very professional manner. Thank you once again and look forward to booking with you again in the future. Johnny

    • Went with my brother and our non-golfing wives on a weeklong golf and cultural holiday in Hanoi. Superb attention to detail by Sophie who was very patient as we made several changes prior to finalization of booking. Drivers were very prompt and friendly. Tour guide "Hiro" who led us to an exploration of Hanoi military history was awesome and we learned so much from him. Played Dai Lai Star and BRG Legend, great design and scenery. Enjoyed also our cruise of Halong Bay. Just wish we had the time to play another round or 2. We are now planning a golf trip to either Penang, Phuket or Yogyakarta and cant wait to use GolfAsian again.

    • I was in Thailand and my golf was set by Mr. Win. There were some complications from my side as I had to change dates of trip. Mr Win was very flexible with that and organize all to new dates. I visited and played at almost all golf courses near Pukhet - all of them in very good condition. Some of them are not really for higher HCP player... I would not hesitate to organize my next trip with Mr Win !
