Legend Danang Golf Resort – Da Nang
Legend Danang Golf Resort: Where Two Icons Collide
If you are a golf enthusiast, the Legend Danang Golf Resort (BRG) isn't just a stop on your itinerary, it is a pilgrimage. Situated on the stunning central coast of Vietnam between the vibrant city of Da Nang and the ancient charm of Hoi An, this resort holds a unique distinction: it is the first in the world to harmonise the distinct philosophies of two of the game’s greatest legends, Greg Norman and Jack Nicklaus.
At PRADD Tours, we recommend this course for golfers who want to experience two completely different worlds of golf within a single 36-hole complex.
1. The Norman Course: The Spirit of the Dunes
The original 18-hole masterpiece, designed by Greg Norman, is widely considered the first true links-style course in Southeast Asia.
The Vibe: Reminiscent of the classic links of the British Isles or Australia’s Sandbelt, this course is carved through rugged coastal dunes.
The Challenge: Expect firm, fast fairways, "blown-out" bunkers, and wild seaside vegetation. The coastal winds are a constant factor, requiring strategic shot-making and creative play.
The Signature: The par-3 16th hole is a showstopper. Played against the backdrop of the crashing East Sea and the Cham Islands, it is one of the most photographed holes in Asia.
2. The Nicklaus Course: A Taste of Florida in Asia
In 2020, the resort unveiled its second 18-hole course, designed by Jack Nicklaus. It offers a dramatic contrast to the Norman course.
The Vibe: This is Asia’s first true "bulkhead" style course. Inspired by the elite courses of Florida, it features extensive water hazards lined with authentic hardwood bulkheads imported from the United States.
The Challenge: Precision is key here. With water coming into play on nearly every hole and large, undulating greens, the Nicklaus Course is a modern, high-stakes test of your game.
Night Golf: Unlike its neighbour, the Nicklaus Course is fully floodlit with state-of-the-art LED lighting, allowing you to enjoy a "Twilight Round" as the sun sets over the Marble Mountains.
The 19th Hole and Beyond
The luxury experience at Legend Danang extends far beyond the fairways. The 3,800-square-meter clubhouse is a modern architectural marvel, offering panoramic views of the courses and the East Sea. Whether you’re enjoying a traditional bowl of Mì Quảng at the Featherie Restaurant or a cocktail at the Hickories Bar, the service is, as the name suggests, legendary.
