Ba Na Hills Golf Club — Local services in Đà Nẵng

This course is very good and is currently the best available in the Danang region. My husband was lucky enough to play Hoiana Shores (preview play) while we were there and said Hoiana will be the best by a country mile when it officially opens in February 2020. Ba Na Hills is over an hour out of Danang but well worth it. The course is lush, has a great layout and is very challenging. The temperatures are lower when compared to Danang town and carts are allowed on most fairways so it makes for a pleasant round and better conditioning of greens and fairways. Where Ba Na falls down (and the reason four four stars and not five) is in the service aspects. The restraunt service was lazy and the food was slow to the table and arrived incorrect, despite the waiter correctly confirming it. The check in process was difficult as they did not have our booking correct despite prior correct confirmation so we had to provide multiple evidences to avoid repaying. There was a general inability to think laterally by starter marshall's and the like which contribute to uneccessary choke points and slow play. The caddies however were really very good and the best we had across the six courses we played in the region. Overall a great course well worth playing, but one that would benefit from some common sense service improvements. Hope you enjoy your...

PROS Beautiful golf course in a great mountain area and super well maintained. Excellent caddie and top quality facilities everywhere. Beautiful driving range and practice facility.

My caddie was excellent and was right on with not only her yardages but also her understanding of the undulations of the greens. Her English was so-so and could have been better, but that's my only comment. Her English was far better than my Vietnamese!

CONS A VERY expensive place to play, especially when compared to like-quality golf courses throughout Thailand for example. But that just seems to be the situation in Vietnam in general...at least from my experiences over the last 2 years.

I guess because so many of the courses are top-name/designer courses. Seems like they could DEFINITELY use many more courses that are designed for those who are not the rich & elite, but then again that may be who they are primarily targeting. I get it, but I could never live here and play routinely like I can in Thailand, the Philippines, or even the USA! Too bad...

Also, be sure to check your bill carefully when you check out. They tried to charge us for the lunch that my buddy had ALREADY paid for! It was like 15 minutes of them trying to figure it out amongst themselves while we waited with our fingers in our....um, ears. Totally unacceptable...

A superb course, and in great condition (April ‘25) very playable though challenging too. Locker rooms and clubhouse facilities were excellent. Bar and lunch (pizza and beer) also very good. But what made it special were the staff, all of whom were excellent but particularly the caddies. My caddy (093) “Hao”, had worked there for 9 years and knew the course from every angle, giving me accurate distance over hazards, knew the breaks on the greens, repaired pitch marks and divots, raking bunkers, and kept me well taken care of with cool towels and a brolly for shade in the baking heat. The only ball I lost was because I didn’t listen to her advice to lay up and put it in the water. And while I didn’t play as well as I can due to the heat getting to me, I really enjoyed the experience of playing here. I loved it so much, I’m still thinking of coming back while we’re still in Vietnam, or returning in winter.

I’ve been lucky enough to play golf all around the world, from Norway to South Africa, from the UK to New Zealand and Australia, and this is easily in my top 5 courses. Very highly recommended, just remember “listen...
