Why Montgomerie Links is a signature Da Nang golf course
Montgomerie Links Golf Club is an 18-hole championship links-style course designed by Colin Montgomerie. The official site describes it as the first golf course built on Vietnam’s Central Coast and says its use of natural terrain helped set the regional standard.
Its location between Da Nang and Hoi An, combined with a course, practice facilities, academy, restaurants and on-site accommodation, makes it especially practical for golf travelers.
Current 2026 address and the Da Nang–Hoi An route
The current official address is Coastal Road, Dien Ban Dong ward, Da Nang city, Vietnam. Older articles and map listings may still show Quang Nam or Dien Ban, but the official 2026 website now uses a Da Nang city address.
The club sits on the coastal corridor linking Da Nang and Hoi An, so it is convenient from either destination. Travel time depends on your hotel and traffic; leave a comfortable buffer before tee time.
Colin Montgomerie’s design philosophy
The official course introduction says Colin Montgomerie used the existing natural landscape so that each hole presents a clear risk-and-reward decision. It is not simply designed to punish; it asks players to choose between safer routes and more aggressive lines.
The club states that the course can be enjoyed by golfers of all levels, making it approachable for mid-handicap travel golfers as well as low-handicap players.
18 holes・Par 72・about 7,091 yards
Montgomerie Links is an 18-hole, Par 72 championship course. Current IMG Prestige course information lists a championship length of 7,091 yards, while some travel references round it to 7,090 yards.
The actual yardage changes substantially by tee, so the headline length alone should not discourage average players. Correct tee selection matters more.
Where the links-style character comes from
The official About Us page highlights sandy soil, wind-blown dunes, native vegetation, strategically placed bunkers, generous and undulating greens, and closely mown chipping areas.
It also states that the course contains more water holes than most links courses, including lakes and streams. You therefore need to account for water as well as sand and wind.
Why the course remains strategic even when it looks wide
The official description emphasizes risk and reward. Even holes with generous landing areas can force a decision because bunker placement changes the preferred angle for the next shot.
Closely mown chipping areas and large undulating greens create multiple short-game choices. On a first round, use the caddie’s advice on landing points and green movement.
Official Hole-by-Hole points worth remembering
According to the official Hole By Hole page, Hole 2 is a 197-yard Par 3 from the Gold tee, framed by native casuarina forest and strongly affected by prevailing wind. Hole 4 is a 321-yard Par 4 from Gold, the shortest Par 4 on the course, with water waiting on the right.
Hole 5 is a 146-yard Par 3 from Gold requiring a full water carry. Hole 12 is a 527-yard Par 5 from Gold with 12 bunkers. The closing Hole 18 is a 588-yard Par 5 from Gold, the longest Par 5 at Montgomerie Links, tempting long hitters to go for the green in two.
How beginners, mid-handicappers and strong players may experience it
Generous landing areas and multiple tee choices make the course manageable for beginners and mid-handicappers, but wind, bunkers, water hazards and undulating greens prevent it from becoming easy.
Mid-handicappers can learn course management here, while stronger golfers from the back tees must actively manage wind and strategic bunkering. It is better understood as a course whose character changes significantly with tee selection.
Official 2026 public green fees
The official 2026 Public Rate is effective from 1 January 2026 until further notice. For Guests, 18 holes cost 3,980,000 VND on weekdays and 4,650,000 VND on weekends (Friday–Sunday) and public holidays. Nine holes cost 2,388,000 VND weekday and 2,790,000 VND weekend/holiday.
The official tariff states that these rates include caddie and shared golf cart. Prices are in VND and include taxes and a 5% service charge, while the club reserves the right to change rates without prior notice.
2026 Twilight Golf｜1,500,000 VND after 3 PM
The most notable current promotion for visitors is Twilight Golf. The official site lists it as valid through 31 December 2026, with tee times from 3:00 PM daily, priced at 1,500,000 VND for Guests and 750,000 VND for Members.
It should be viewed as a twilight product rather than full night golf. Confirm the number of playable holes and the day’s sunset/tee-sheet conditions when reserving.
Caddie and shared-cart inclusions
The 2026 Public Rate includes caddie and shared golf cart in both 9-hole and 18-hole guest prices. That means you should not compare its headline fee with another course’s green fee if the other quote excludes caddie or cart.
The official tariff lists a 140,000 VND caddie reservation request fee and a 300,000 VND accompanying-person surcharge.
Separate junior pricing
The official 2026 tariff includes a junior category for players under 16 accompanied by an adult golfer. Eighteen holes cost 1,990,000 VND weekday and 2,325,000 VND weekend/holiday; nine holes cost 1,150,000 VND weekday and 1,395,000 VND weekend/holiday.
Families should therefore check junior conditions rather than applying the normal adult Guest rate.
Driving Range｜30 covered bays and 06:00–21:00
The official About Us page highlights a 30-bay undercover driving range and chipping/putting greens designed to mirror on-course conditions. The current Driving Range page states daily opening hours of 06:00–21:00.
Guest practice balls cost 130,000 VND for 50, 200,000 VND for 100, and 320,000 VND for 200. It works for both a short pre-round warm-up and a standalone practice session.
Practice-equipment rental rates
Official Guest prices at the Driving Range are 100,000 VND for one practice club, 300,000 VND for a 7-piece practice set, and 220,000 VND for golf shoes. A 20-ball warm-up basket costs Guests 60,000 VND.
These are driving-range rental rates; if you need a full playing set for 18 holes, reconfirm the current playing-set inventory and rate with reservations.
Golf Academy and current lesson prices
Montgomerie Links Golf Academy offers private coaching and customized programs. The official page lists local-coach rates of 620,000 VND for 30 minutes and 935,000 VND for one hour, plus 5×1-hour 3,900,000 VND, 10×1-hour 7,150,000 VND, and 20×1-hour 13,000,000 VND packages.
On-course lessons cost 1,465,000 VND for 9 holes and 2,895,000 VND for 18 holes, excluding golf fees. Children under 16 receive a 20% discount on individual lessons.
The official Academy page features coach Vo Trung Hai, a Vietnam PGA member who has been part of the Montgomerie Links team since 2008. His profile particularly emphasizes development of short-game skills.
The Academy is therefore suitable for golfers who want to work progressively on swing, putting, chipping, bunker play and on-course decisions rather than only taking a one-off swing lesson.
Birdies・Links Cafe・Bistro and dining
The official Restaurant page lists Birdies, Links Cafe, Bistro and on-course kiosks. Birdies is the clubhouse restaurant overlooking the 18th hole, while Links Cafe sits at the Driving Range.
Restaurant hours are 05:30–21:00, with last order at 20:30. Local, Asian and Western choices make it practical for an early pre-round meal or post-round dining.
Hotel & Villas and the 2026 accommodation promotion
Montgomerie Links also operates on-site Hotel & Villas. Official 2026 public room rates are 2,980,000 VND Deluxe, 3,480,000 VND Junior Suite, 4,480,000 VND Monty Suite, and 14,000,000 VND for a 3-bedroom Pool Villa.
The official site currently shows a Stay 1 Night, Get 1 Night Free promotion valid through 31 October 2026, including two Deluxe nights, breakfast for two, 300,000 VND dining credit per room, scheduled shuttles to Da Nang City Centre and Hoi An, plus a golf-practice experience and course tour.
Dress code｜tidy designer jeans are conditionally allowed
The official Dress Code encourages collared or mock-collar shirts and states that men’s tailored shorts should be no more than 7 cm above the top of the kneecap. Women’s skirts, dresses and skorts require undershorts.
A notable detail is that tidy designer jeans are allowed. Not allowed are collarless T-shirts, singlet/tank or cropped tops, beach shorts, tracksuits/pants, tights, street shoes, flip-flops, and sports shoes with aggressive studs that may damage greens. Soft-spike golf shoes or golf sandals are acceptable.
How to read the 2026 maintenance situation
The official 2026 maintenance schedule placed Green Hollow Tining on 25–29 May, with 18-hole rounds still operating during the work. The club said it expected to return to the standard layout and playing conditions from 30 May.
That scheduled maintenance period has already passed, but turf programs recur, so if your booking is well in the future, check the latest maintenance notice once more.
Weather and tee-time strategy
Wind-blown dunes and coastal breezes are part of Montgomerie Links’ identity. The same hole can require a very different club depending on wind strength and direction.
For Da Nang heat, an early tee time can be more comfortable. If you want lower cost plus sunset atmosphere, the after-3-PM Twilight Golf is attractive. During the rainy season, check same-day rainfall and course conditions.
Who this course suits best
It is especially well suited to travelers who want a convenient 18-hole course between Da Nang and Hoi An, golfers interested in Colin Montgomerie’s links-style strategy, and players who want to combine a round with practice or lessons.
It is not a mountain course like Ba Na Hills and it is not a two-course 36-hole comparison like Legend. Its identity is clearer: one polished 18-hole links-style course + 30-bay range + academy + on-site accommodation.
Final verdict
The core of Montgomerie Links Golf Club is Colin Montgomerie design, 18 holes Par 72 at about 7,091 yards, natural sand and wind, strategic bunkering and water holes. The official 2026 Guest rate for 18 holes is 3,980,000 VND weekday and 4,650,000 VND weekend/holiday, including caddie and shared cart.
For a lower-cost late round, the Guest Twilight Golf rate of 1,500,000 VND from 3 PM is also worth checking. Before booking, confirm date, tee time, standard or Twilight rate, inclusions, equipment rental, weather and the latest maintenance notice.
