Ocean Dunes Golf Club
Phan Thiet, Vietnam
Ocean Dunes Golf Club opened in 1996 and immediately set the standard in Southeast Asia for links golf. Laid out by Masters and British Open Champion Nick Faldo, Ocean Dunes winds through a pleasing obstacle course of windswept dunes and shimmering water hazards, with coastal breezes shaping its character day-by-day.
“Ocean Dunes is an outstanding natural site with the sand dunes, sea breezes, beach vegetation and sea views,” Faldo explains. “We let the dunes determine the routing and the arid look of the course. It has the feel and the playability of early Scottish seaside courses - in a tropical climate.”
The Bermuda grass fairways are generous, as befits a resort track, but the dunes, bunkering and vegetation - buffeted by coastal winds - bring strategy to every hole. There’s an authentic links quality to half a dozen holes at Ocean Dunes Golf Club (where the wind always blows); a tree-lined stretch on the back nine feels like Pinehurst; and the strategic front nine, with its myriad water hazards, looks and plays like a first class Florida track.
From the 6,725-yard tips, this par-72 design will test the best. From the forward tees, Ocean Dunes is simply a tropical delight. Players value the course for its balance and variety, for its superb conditioning, and for the challenge of going up against the region’s famed solar winds.
The 18 holes are routed adjacent to the Novotel Phan Thiet Ocean Dunes & Golf Resort, but the golf club also welcomes non-hotel play. The clubhouse and its knowledgeable staff tend to a full pro shop, bar and restaurant.
