A links masterpiece on Vietnam’s coast

Since opening in October 2014 among the towering sand dunes of Vietnam’s south-central coast, The Bluffs Ho Tram Strip has established itself as one the finest golf courses in the world. In addition to winning ‘World’s Best New Golf Course’ at the 2015 World Golf Awards, the spectacular Greg Norman design lays claim to the 35th spot on Golf Digest’s bi-annual list of the ‘World’s 100 Greatest Golf Courses’. “What’s special about the course is the diversity of the hole-by-hole experiences,” said Norman. “We came in here, took some of the exotics out, started seeing what was there, and just left it. A lot of these fairways are just exactly the grades of what Mother Nature gave us.”
