Course Report
Montgomerie Links has hosted the Vietnam Matchplay Championship annually since 2009, and Colin Montgomerie opened the course personally with a record round of 68.
About
Montgomerie Links is a celebrated Colin Montgomerie-designed 18-hole course on Vietnam's Central Coast, opened in 2010. The layout utilizes sandy soils, links-style fairways, and natural casuarina pine framing, providing strategic play and memorable views. This acclaimed venue offers modern facilities, resort villas, and solid conditioning throughout the year.
Caddie Tip
Caddies at Montgomerie Links are expert at reading the sometimes tricky greens, especially those with tucked-away or raised pin placements. Trust their advice on approach angles and green speed. On longer holes, favor the safer side of the fairway—run-offs and subtle bunkering can make recovery from the wrong side difficult for first-timers.
The Main Challenge
The toughest challenge at Montgomerie Links is managing the coastal breezes and hitting precise iron shots to contoured, well-protected greens. Several holes feature strategic water hazards and fairway doglegs that reward creative shot-making and careful club selection, especially in windy weather.
The Good
Golfers love Montgomerie Links for its seamless blend of links-style design and gentle coastal setting. The course gives a true sense of Scotland while delivering a fun, open, and playable layout, highlighted by world-class hospitality, modern facilities, and a unique setting near one of Vietnam’s most famous beaches.
The Not So Good
Players often note that slow play can be an issue during peak hours. The course’s popularity sometimes results in crowded tee sheets, and guests have mentioned that food and beverage prices in the clubhouse are higher than average for the region.
