This year the number has increased to nearly 60 courses and more than 40,000 players with better and better quality, bringing more exciting experiences for players. The Awards will promote strongly the development of Vietnam golf industry, encouraging golf courses to upgrade their services and promote Vietnam as one of the most attractive golf destinations in the region and the world”.
