Two golf courses of Vietnam listed in World 100 Greatest Golf Courses
Every two years, the jury of experts from Golf Digest magazine will review and re-evaluate the rankings of the world's best 100 golf courses based on the Panelists’ rigorous criteria and practical experience on golf courses, with many factors, to create a list of the best and most beautiful golf courses in the world.
In 2016, The Bluffs Ho Tram Strip was the first golf course in Vietnam to receive this prestigious award when ranked 74. In 2018, the course ranked 35. And this year, it is the third consecutive year that Greg Norman’s design is named in Top 100. The Bluffs Ho Tram ranks 76th with another golf course in Canada.
The second golf course in Vietnam to be in the Top 100 is Ba Na Hills Golf Club (ranked 89th). This is the first time Luke Donald's work has been honored in this list. Recently, Ba Na Hills has also received the title of The Best Golf Course in Asia at the 6th World Golf Awards in the UAE.
Leading the list of 100 golf courses is the Northern Ireland's Royal County Down G.C, designed by Old Tom Morris in 1889 and was rebuilt by Donald Steel in 1998.
