Laguna Lang Co Golf Club

Ranked 5th in Vietnam and 32nd in Asia the course is set in a pretty stunning location between the mountains and the sea. The set up is top notch with a stunning clubhouse and decent practice facilities. The weather wasn’t kind when I played with heavy and constant driving rain and 20kmh (2 club) winds throughout the round which really affected the visual experience and enjoyment of this course. The course is principally set up as 9 holes away from the clubhouse and 9 holes back in which meant the front 9 was with the wind meaning it played far shorter and allowed for good scoring. Back into the wind and driving rain for the back 9 though was probably the most brutal conditions I have played in. The course design was very good on predominantly flat land with minimal elevation change with lots of bunkering and sandy waste areas which framed large landing areas from the tee with a few short par 4’s needing a strategic approach rather than just pull driver which I liked. Greens were typically huge and often raised with steep run off areas but given the amount of moisture were very receptive with some large slopes. Putts ran pretty true but the caddie (which is compulsory) explained that it had been a challenging winter weather wise which had affected the course and multiple greens had significant fungal growth. There were also bare and damaged areas around the greens and some tees had also suffered. I had expected better conditioning for the ranking and cost. One huge negative was that it took just shy of 6 hours to play 18 holes as a fourball in carts. There was a fourball in front which held up multiple groups which the course Marshall was called on multiple occasions but nothing was done. We waited minutes on every shot and given the rain and wind and being totally soaked through it just spoilt the round and experience. It’s a very good course design in a stunning location which I’m sure is visually amazing on a clear day but my experience was just a grind

The interesting course, green and fairway are good. Will sure come back again and play again with a group.

Absolutely pristine fairways. Green complexes are challenging and large. Bunkers everywhere. Course suitable to straight hitters (no need to shot shape as much)

Always a great course. Faldo design, challenging. Unlikely the greens recently cored, so putting was difficult. But will always go back. One of the best around the region, Danang
