Central Vietnam has always had a way of making golf feel like more than a round. Here, a tee time can come with mountain air, sea breezes, lantern-lit evenings in Hoi An, long lunches in Danang, and the kind of coastal energy that turns a golf trip into a proper escape.
This summer, the clubs along the Vietnam Golf Coast are leaning into that appeal with seasonal promotions, stay-and-play offers, twilight rounds, and citywide events that give golfers more reasons to build a trip around Central Vietnam.
At Montgomerie Links, the season is defined by bright skies, firm fairways, and cooling breezes rolling in from the East Sea. The course, with its rolling terrain, casuarina pines, and close proximity to Danang’s beaches, has the feel of a classic seaside layout, but with a distinctly Vietnamese rhythm.
For golfers looking to slow down and stay a little longer, the club is currently offering a “Stay 1 night, get 1 complimentary night” promotion, along with additional food and beverage credit designed to make the experience feel less like a quick golf stop and more like a coastal holiday.
“Summer is a particularly rewarding time to experience Montgomerie Links,” said Club Manager Le Vo Hoang Van. “The sunshine, sea breezes, and relaxed coastal atmosphere combine to create the kind of golf holiday that feels distinctly Central Vietnamese.”
The timing also works in Danang’s favour. The Da Nang International Fireworks Festival 2026 runs until July 11 under the theme “Da Nang – United Horizons.” Over six weeks, the festival brings 10 teams from nine countries to the Han River, with fireworks displays staged across five qualifying nights and a grand finale. The event also spills into the city with street performances, music, dancing, and riverfront festivities, giving visiting golfers a reason to trade the clubhouse for the waterfront after dark.
In the highlands west of Danang, Ba Na Hills Golf Club offers a very different summer mood. Set among pine forests and cooler mountain air, the Luke Donald-designed course provides a refreshing counterpoint to the coast. The club heads into the season with strong momentum after marking its 10th anniversary with a special tournament on May 9, bringing golfers, partners, and supporters together to celebrate a decade of growth.
This summer, Ba Na Hills is putting the focus on timing and comfort. Its Twi-night Tee Off promotion allows golfers to start in the afternoon and continue into the evening under lights, with prices starting from VND 2,250,000, or about USD 90, on selected weekdays.
For players who want to squeeze more from a golf day, the club is also offering a same-day second-round promotion from VND 1,290,000, or about USD 52, allowing golfers to extend their play while avoiding the hottest part of the day. Other seasonal offers include Young Talent Moments, aimed at encouraging junior participation on weekdays, and Sunday Swing, which pairs an afternoon round with a food and beverage coupon for the clubhouse.
Ba Na Hills has even added a simple but smart summer touch: a Cooling Kit, priced at VND 179,000, or around USD 7, featuring frozen mineral water, a chilled towel, and ice cream.
“Summer golf is about timing, comfort, and atmosphere,” said Andrew McGregor, General Manager at Ba Na Hills Golf Club. “With mountain conditions, night golf, and offers for families and returning players, we are giving golfers more ways to enjoy the season.”
Together, the offers show why Central Vietnam continues to stand out as one of Asia’s most complete golf destinations. Danang brings the beaches, restaurants, nightlife, and major events. Hoi An adds heritage, atmosphere, and one of the region’s most memorable old towns. The coast delivers classic seaside golf, while the hills offer cooler air and floodlit fairways.
For travellers who want more from a golf trip than a scorecard, summer may be one of the most rewarding times to go. Central Vietnam is not just selling rounds. It is offering a full-season escape, where golf becomes the reason to arrive — and everything around it becomes the reason to stay.
