Previously, Ba Na Hills Golf Clubs, which was designed by former world champion golfer Luke Donald, won “Best New Course 2016-2017” at the annual Vietnam Golf Magazine Awards.
The award title was determined by 1.1 million votes from 40 countries and territories collected between April and October.
Prior to this, in 2016, Luke Donald-designed golf club managed by IMG was also honoured as the best new golf course in the world at the annual World Golf Awards in Portugal, opening the doors to the country’s budding golf tourism.
Tim Haddon, general manager of Ba Na Hills Golf Club, asserted, “The awards are a great recognition for the golf club as well as a monumental achievement considering the tough competition for such a world-class award.”
Additionally, in November 2016, Ba Na Hills Golf Club was given the accolade for “Best New Course in the Asia-Pacific” at the Asia-Pacific Golf Summit in Thailand.
Inaugurated in March 2016, the golf club is situated in the foothills of Ba Na Hills in the flourishing central coast of Vietnam, merely a 25-minute drive from downtown Danang city.
Since the debut in 2014, World Golf Awards has become the most reputable awarding ceremony in the golf tourism industry.
Chris Frost, managing director of World Golf Awards, stressed, “World Golf Awards 2017 is the largest golf tourism-focused awards taking place on the largest scale ever.”
World Golf Awards is an internationally recognised prestigious award, serving to celebrate and reward excellence in golf tourism, top-class courses, and golf destinations. The awards ceremony was followed by a seven-month worldwide voting process by experts directly working in the industry of golf travelling and tourism, such as senior executives, travel buyers, tour operators, and media professionals.
Ba Na Hills Golf Club is under the management of IMG Group and owned by Sun Group, one of Vietnam’s leading property developers.
