Hoiana Shores Golf Club

Set along a wild stretch of Vietnam’s central coastline near Hoi An, Hoiana Shores Golf Club has quickly become one of Asia’s premier modern links experiences. Designed by legendary architect Robert Trent Jones Jr., the course uses massive natural dunes, firm sandy terrain, sea winds, and sparse native vegetation to create a layout that feels far more like a classic British or Australian seaside links than a typical tropical resort course. The routing builds beautifully toward the oceanfront closing stretch, where several holes play directly beside the beach with sweeping views of the Eastern Sea and the Cham Islands.

For golf travelers, Hoiana Shores stands out because it combines world-class golf with a full luxury resort destination. The expansive clubhouse, excellent caddie program, practice academy, upscale dining, and integrated beachfront hotels make it ideal for multi-day golf trips. The course conditioning is consistently praised, especially the fast Bermuda greens and firm fairways that encourage creative ground-game shots rarely seen in Southeast Asia. It is also perfectly positioned within Vietnam’s famous “Golf Coast,” allowing travelers to combine rounds here with nearby courses around Da Nang and Hoi An while also exploring UNESCO-listed old towns, beaches, and Vietnamese cuisine. Many golfers now consider Hoiana Shores the strongest overall course in central Vietnam and one of the best modern links courses in Asia.
