Located just 25 minutes from downtown Da Nang, Ba Na Hills Golf Club is an 18-hole championship course designed by Luke Donald and managed by IMG. The course has been recognized multiple times as the Best Golf Course in Vietnam and Asia at the World Golf Awards and the World Luxury Travel Awards.
Overview
Set at the foot of the Ba Na Mountain range and only 25 minutes from the center of Da Nang, Ba Na Hills Golf Club is a remarkable project developed by Sun Group. It is the first and only golf course designed by former World No.1 Luke Donald and is professionally managed by IMG. Over the past decade, the club has been honored as Asia’s Best Golf Course for five consecutive years at the World Golf Awards and for three consecutive years at the World Luxury Travel Awards, affirming its position as one of the region’s premier golf destinations.
Course Design and Landscape
The course stretches over 7,858 yards across gently rolling terrain with natural elevation changes. Fairways follow the contours of the land, sometimes smooth and flowing, sometimes challenging with more pronounced slopes, encouraging golfers to carefully manage distance and ball flight. Multi-tiered greens with subtle breaks add a strategic layer to every approach and putt.
The course experience unfolds in two distinct rhythms. The opening nine holes feature a more welcoming layout, helping players ease into the round. The back nine increases in complexity with shifting terrain and variable wind conditions, requiring greater focus and strategy.
Ba Na Hills Golf Club is highly regarded for achieving a balance between challenge and comfort, allowing each round to be both technically engaging and deeply enjoyable within the expansive mountain setting.
Facilities and Service
The Clubhouse features a contemporary design with a restaurant, bar and an open terrace overlooking the 18th green, offering an inviting place to relax after the round. The locker rooms are comfortable and well-appointed, and the Pro Shop provides a curated selection of apparel and golf accessories.
The Putting Green sits adjacent to the Clubhouse, allowing players to warm up and adjust to green speed naturally. The Driving Range is ideal for golfers looking to reinforce their swing before teeing off. Private lessons are available with PGA-certified professionals, suitable for golfers of all skill levels.
During play, knowledgeable caddies accompany golfers with attentive support. Golf carts are coordinated efficiently to ensure smooth movement throughout the course. SmartScore technology is integrated to track scorecards, course flow and on-round services in real time. All 18 holes are equipped with lighting, allowing golfers to enjoy evening play in a distinctive and memorable atmosphere.
Dining and Leisure
The Clubhouse restaurant serves refined Asian and Western cuisine in a relaxed setting with panoramic views across the course. Whether enjoying a light meal, a glass of wine or a warm cup of coffee after the round, the experience feels calm and unhurried.
Beyond the course, guests may explore Sun World Ba Na Hills with its cool climate and scenic landscape, or choose to unwind at Mercure Ba Na Hills for a peaceful mountain retreat. For those who prefer an energetic urban stay, Novotel Danang Premier Han River offers city views, riverfront dining and the vibrant rhythm of downtown Da Nang.
Ba Na Hills Golf Club offers more than a well-crafted round of golf. It is a place where natural landscape and thoughtful design work in harmony, allowing each shot and each moment on the course to feel fluid, balanced and memorable. What remains after the round is not only a score, but a lasting sense of connection and calm found in the rhythm of Ba Na.
