Course Report

It is recognized as Asia's first true 'bulkhead' course, featuring wooden bulkheads imported from the U.S., echoing classic Florida-course style and aesthetics rarely seen elsewhere in Asia.

About

The Nicklaus Course at BRG Da Nang Golf Resort, opened in 2020, delivers a distinctive Florida-inspired design by Nicklaus Design with abundant water hazards and dramatic wooden bulkheads on tees, fairways, and greens. Harmonizing with the existing Norman course, this par-72 championship layout sits near the marble beaches of Da Nang and is praised for its strategic challenge and coastal scenery.

Caddie Tip

Local caddies are known for their course knowledge—trust their advice, especially on reading greens and navigating water-protected fairways. On the 18th, safer play is favored off the tee to avoid the left hazard, then lay up for a controlled approach to the receptive green.

The Main Challenge

Water hazards dominate strategic decisions throughout the round, particularly on closing holes where precision is required on approach shots with bunkers and bulkheads to penalize aggression. Variable coastal winds can further complicate club selection, rewarding shot planning and local knowledge.

The Good

Golfers love the striking layout featuring abundant water, sculpted bunkers, and Florida-style wooden bulkheads that give the course a distinctive visual identity. The strategic design offers both challenge and playability, and the coastal views make for a memorable round, especially with the option for night golf under floodlights.

The Not So Good

Some players report slow play during busy periods and occasional maintenance issues with bunkers after heavy rain. Additionally, language barriers with some staff may make communication challenging for non-Vietnamese speakers. Improvements in tee scheduling and service consistency could enhance the overall experience.
