I've been fortunate enough to play golf throughout Asia over the past 15 years, and if someone asked me where I'd happily return every single year, my answer would be Da Nan, Vietnam.
People often ask me what the best golf course in Asia is. The truth is, I don't think it's about one course.
What makes Da Nang so special is the collection of courses. Within half an hour of each other, you've got completely different championship layouts, all capable of being someone's favourite. One day you're playing through rolling links-style dunes, the next you're surrounded by the mountain, and then you're back beside the coastline taking on another world-class layout. I've taken plenty of golfers here over the years, and everyone seems to walk away with a different favourite.
Then there's something that's often overlooked.
The holiday just works.
You're not spending half your holiday sitting on a bus battling traffic like you do in so many parts of Asia. Everything is close. The airport, the golf courses and the resort are all within easy reach, so you spend more time enjoying your holiday and less time getting there.
Finish your round and before you know it, you're back at the resort with a drink in your hand, watching the sun disappear over My Khe Beach—regularly recognised as one of the world's best beaches. It gives the whole week an easy rhythm that's hard to beat.
Choosing where we stayed was just as important as choosing where we played.
We looked at plenty of options before settling on Fusion Resort & Villas Da Nang, and I honestly couldn't picture a better home for Invitational Golf Week. It's right on the beach, the facilities are outstanding, the rooms are spacious, and after a long day on the course, it's exactly where you want to come back to. It's the sort of resort that makes you slow down, relax and enjoy every minute of the week.
If you've got the time, I'd also encourage you to think beyond just the tournament.
We've created an optional extension to Hoiana Shores, one of the most spectacular links courses you'll ever play you can read more about this experience by clicking here. Alternatively, for the gents, we've also timed this week to connect perfectly with our Pattaya Men's Golf Week which is sure to be a lot of fun, you can read up more on this combined event here. With direct daily flights from Da Nang to Bangkok, it's incredibly easy to turn one week into two and experience some of the very best golf Asia has to offer.
This tournament has been on the drawing board for a long time. We've waited until everything felt right—the golf, the resort, the schedule and the overall experience. I can't wait to welcome you to Da Nang and show you why this part of Vietnam has become one of my favourite golfing destinations anywhere in the world.
Kind Regards,
Upon arrival at Da Nang International Airport, you’ll be welcomed by our local team and transferred directly to Fusion Resort & Villas Da Nang.
Located along the coastline of Da Nang, Fusion will be our exclusive host venue for the week. After checking into your spacious golf-view suite, take some time to settle in, explore the resort or simply relax by the pool before the celebrations begin.

It’s a relaxed introduction to the Invitational and the beginning of what promises to be a very special week in Vietnam.
After breakfast, we begin the golfing week with a morning practice round at Montgomerie Links.
Created by European golfing legend Colin Montgomerie, the course blends wind-shaped dunes, native vegetation, strategically positioned bunkers and large, undulating greens. Its links-inspired design provides an enjoyable opening challenge and the perfect opportunity to prepare for the tournament rounds ahead.
Today’s format will be a social Two-Ball Better Ball competition, allowing you to meet other players, settle into the conditions and enjoy a relaxed first taste of golf in Da Nang.
While the golfers are out on the course, non-golfing guests are invited to enjoy a relaxing afternoon high tea at Fusion Resort & Villas Da Nang. Savour an elegant selection of sweet and savoury treats accompanied by tea, coffee and beverages, all served in the resort's beautiful surroundings. It's the perfect opportunity to unwind, socialise with fellow travellers and enjoy a leisurely afternoon before rejoining the golfers later in the day.
Following the round, return to Fusion Resort with time to relax before gathering for our first 19th Hole. Enjoy canapés, beer, wine and soft drinks while the day’s results are announced and stories from the course begin to flow.
Enjoy a leisurely morning at the resort before departing for the opening round of the Da Nang Invitational.
Set at the foot of the Ba Na mountain range, Ba Na Hills Golf Club is surrounded by native forest and dramatic mountain scenery. It is the first course in the world designed by former World Number One Luke Donald and is recognised as one of Vietnam’s most celebrated golf venues.
With an afternoon tee time, players can expect changing light, rolling terrain and a memorable championship test as the Invitational officially gets underway. Players will play with new people each day within their respective division. The 54 hole championship will be played as a single stableford for B & C Grades and stroke & single stableford for A Grade. Daily winners will be awarded with prizes within each division as well as NTPs.
For our Non Golfers, we invite you to step back in time with a guided visit to My Son Sanctuary, one of Vietnam's most significant UNESCO World Heritage Sites. Once the spiritual heart of the ancient Champa Kingdom, My Son is home to remarkable temple ruins nestled amongst lush countryside and centuries of fascinating history. Following your guided tour, enjoy a relaxed lunch with beverages before returning to the resort, having experienced one of Central Vietnam's most iconic cultural attractions.
After golf, return to the resort for the evening’s 19th Hole presentation. Relax with canapés and free-flow beer, wine and soft drinks as we recognise the opening-round winners and relive the highlights of the day.
Today is yours to enjoy at your own pace. We will be offering complimentary transfers into the ancient city of Hoi An for those who wish to explore this incredible destination for the day.
Or you may wish to spend the day relaxing beside the resort pool, visit the spa, enjoy the beachfront surroundings or explore the nearby cities of Da Nang and Hoi An. After three consecutive days of festivities and golf, it is the perfect opportunity to recharge before the final two tournament rounds.
For golfers looking for something different, an optional twilight night-golf experience will be available on the Nicklaus Course at Legend Da Nang Golf Resort.
Played as a fun match-play event, the evening will combine golf, music, food and beverages under the lights. The Nicklaus Course is known for its wide fairways, distinctive timber-faced bulkheads and water-lined holes inspired by the resort courses of Florida.
Participation in the twilight event is optional and can be added separately.
Following breakfast and a relaxed morning at Fusion Resort, we travel to Legend Da Nang Golf Resort for Round Two of the Invitational.
Designed by Greg Norman, the Norman Course was created in a traditional links style across the natural sandy terrain of Vietnam’s central coastline. Exposed dunes, native vegetation, strategic bunkering and coastal winds combine to create a genuine championship challenge.
For the Non Golfers you’ll be head to the mountains aboard one of the world's longest cable cars to Ba Na Hills, home to the world-famous Golden Bridge, spectacular mountain scenery and the charming French Village. Spend the day exploring the gardens, boutique shops and European-inspired streets while taking in breathtaking panoramic views across Da Nang. A leisurely lunch with beverages is included before returning to the resort, making this one of the most memorable sightseeing experiences in Central Vietnam.
