Bà Nà Hills Golf Club among VN’s top ten leading courses

DA NANG — Ba Na Hills Golf Club has been ranked second out of the top 10 leading golf courses in Viet Nam by the 2018 Viet Nam Tourism Awards.

“We are deeply honoured to receive this award and very happy to contribute a small part to the development of Viet Nam tourism,” Tim Haddon, general director of the club, said.

The Viet Nam Tourism Awards are an annual event launched in 1999 to honour leading businesses that are improving tourism service quality, diversifying tourism products and contributing significantly to the development of the country.

This is the first time Ba Na Hills Golf Club has been honoured by the prestigious event.

Opened in March 2016 on the outskirts of Da Nang, the course blends rolling terrain with mountains, lakes, streams and vegetation.

In late July, it will host the annual Footgolf Tournament 2018, an event combining golf and football.
