Da Nang Golf Courses 2026: Green Fees Compared

Three golf courses cluster around Da Nang and Hoi An, and green fees for 2026 run from roughly $28 for a twilight round at Montgomerie Links to $220 for a weekend tee time at Hoiana Shores. For most visitors on a short trip, Montgomerie Links is the easiest first course to book — it sits 15 minutes from Da Nang International Airport and welcomes beginners as easily as low-handicap players.

I have lived on this coast since 2023 and run private Vietnam trips that regularly include a golf day for clients who play. Below is a straight comparison of the three venues, what each round actually costs, and when the weather makes the trip worth it.

Da Nang golf courses compared

Here’s how the three venues stack up on price, distance, and difficulty for a 2026 trip.

Hoiana Shores: the technical dune-links round

Hoiana Shores Golf Club, designed by Robert Trent Jones Jr. and opened in 2019, sits within the Hoiana Resort Complex south of Hoi An — about 45 minutes from Da Nang Airport and roughly 8 km, or 20 minutes, from Hoi An Ancient Town. Two returning nines run through pure sand dunes, and the club hosted the 2025 Women’s Amateur Asia-Pacific, which tells you the level of player it’s built for.

Reported 2026 green fees vary by source: one figure quotes $152 weekday and $220 weekend, another quotes $120 weekday and $160 weekend with a $70-90 twilight option. Both include caddie and a shared cart, which is standard across every course on this stretch of coast. Given the spread, treat $120-220 as the realistic range and confirm the exact number when you book, rather than anchoring on either single figure.

Montgomerie Links: the easiest course to book on short notice

Montgomerie Links Vietnam opened in 2008 as Colin Montgomerie’s design, 18 holes, par 72, 7,090 yards, located between Da Nang and Hoi An — about 15 minutes from Da Nang International Airport. The club has been named Vietnam’s Leading Golf Course for four consecutive years running since 2014, and its fairways step up gradually in difficulty, which is why the on-site PGA academy pitches it to first-time golfers as much as low-handicap regulars.

The one figure confirmed by two independent sources is the twilight rate: from about $28.50 (VND 750,000) during the 2026 high season. A full daytime green fee is not published with a verifiable number on the club’s own rates page as of this writing, so budget for a quote when you contact the club directly rather than trusting a specific dollar figure circulating on booking aggregators.

Legend Danang Golf Resort: two courses on one coastal site

Legend Danang Golf Resort is the same property once marketed as Danang Golf Club and still listed by some directories as BRG Danang Golf Resort — one resort, two 18-hole courses, not two separate clubs. The Greg Norman Course opened in 2010 and the Nicklaus Course followed in March 2018, both built on the sandy loam at Non Nuoc Beach near the Marble Mountains, with firm, fast fairways where coastal wind is the main variable you play around.

A 2026 discounted rate through a Da Nang golf tour operator runs about $142 on weekdays and $165 on weekends for a full round, caddie and a shared buggy included; treat this as an indicative rate rather than the resort’s official rack price, since only one source published exact figures. Getting between the two Non Nuoc courses and your hotel without your own transport is exactly where I usually get pulled in for clients doing a golf day as part of a longer Vietnam trip. I map the transfers around tee times myself instead of leaving it to a resort shuttle schedule, and from your side it’s just the courses and dates you want.

When is the best season to play golf in Da Nang?

February through May is the strongest window: near-zero rainfall in March and April, daytime temperatures of 24-30°C, and manageable humidity for a full 18 holes. The wider playable season runs January through August, and you should avoid September through December, when Central Vietnam’s rainy season peaks and November carries the highest risk of heavy rain disrupting a round.

Da Nang’s tourism numbers back up why courses get busier in this window: the city logged 7.74 million overnight visitors in the first five months of 2026, up 20.9% year-on-year, with international arrivals rising 23.6% to 4.18 million. Within about an hour of the city, golfers can play courses by six marquee designers, including Montgomerie, Norman, and Robert Trent Jones Jr, a concentration that industry press has nicknamed the “Vietnam Golf Coast.”

How do you choose between these three courses?

Book Montgomerie Links if you’re short on time, traveling with a mixed-skill group, or landing and playing the same day — it’s closest to the airport and the friendliest layout for less experienced golfers. Choose Legend Danang Golf Resort if you want two courses in one trip without changing hotels, and don’t mind steady coastal wind as part of the challenge. Pick Hoiana Shores if you’re a confident player who wants a technical dune-links round and don’t mind the longer transfer from Da Nang.

Whichever course you pick, expect weekday rates to run 15-25% cheaper than weekend tee times across the board, and budget a separate caddie tip of $15-25 on top of the green fee — caddies are effectively mandatory here, not optional. A day like this usually slots into a longer coastal stretch of a trip rather than standing alone; you can see how our multi-day Vietnam routes are typically built around a stop like this.

If a round or two is part of a bigger trip and you’d rather not build the whole itinerary yourself — courses, hotels, drivers between them — that’s the kind of planning I do for clients directly. Message me on Telegram and tell me your dates — I’ll tell you what fits.

Golf aside, Da Nang has enough outside the course to fill the rest of a trip; here’s a rundown of the best day trips from Da Nang if you’re building out the non-golf days.
