Greg Norman’s first golf course in Vietnam, a private, links-style layout at Danang Golf Club in Danang, opened last month.
Howie Roberts, the club’s general manager, has said that the course “is going to look as if it’s been here for centuries,” and Harvey Kruse, one of the architects at Norman’s firm, has said it’ll be “the kind of golf course the likes of Old Tom Morris was playing on in Scotland almost 200 years ago.”
The Dunes course, as it’s being called, is the featured attraction of the 700-acre Danang Beach Resort, which will eventually include 190 villas, a J. W. Marriott hotel, and a second 18.
The course has been developed by VinaCapital Group, a big investment banking and development company, whose promotional materials say it’s “destined” -– I love that word -– to become “the premier golf club in Vietnam.”
VinaCapital has priced family memberships at $33,000, and corporate memberships range from $26,400 to $65,000.
