Ancient port of Hoi An Hoi An
Although close to each other, the
Montgomerie and Danang Golf Club
courses are different in nature. The
Montgomerie spans elevation changes
and has plenty of water hazards and
stepped greens, while Norman’s design is
more of a links-style course that features
numerous bunkers and waste bunker areas,
its signature, par-3 16th hole ending with a
green overlooking the East Sea. Where to stay: Laguna Lang Co Resort
features the Banyan Tree and Angsana
hotels adjacent to the golf course and
linked by a waterway with passenger
boats. Hotels south of Danang and close
to the Montgomerie and Danang Golf
Club courses include the Hyatt Regency
Danang Resort and Spa, the stylish, all-
villa Fusion Maia Danang and the historic
Victoria Hoi An Beach Resort & Spa, close
to ancient Hoi An town.
Some 45 minutes north of Danang,
Laguna Lang Co is part of a resort set on
a sweeping bay with two luxury hotels
and encompasses holes alongside the
beach, through rice paddy fields and ones
carved from the adjacent jungle, flanked
by boulders and criss-crossing a stream. Its
greens are currently being renovated after
damage from heavy rains during the winter
months.
