Legend Danang Golf Resort (Nicklaus Course)
About
A tough, water-heavy Jack Nicklaus design presenting an enjoyable challenge
Set amidst the creeks, swamps and paddy fields of a low-lying floodplain, alongside the picturesque Coco river, the Nicklaus Course at Da Nang Golf Club offers a tough, enjoyable challenge. Despite water being an almost constant factor, wide fairways, generous greens and no less than six tee boxes mean golfers of all abilities can give a good account of themselves, although a couple of long water carries might prove daunting for high handicappers.
With numerous lakes and creeks bisecting the course, you can't stray too far off line, and some of the fairways and greens are only protected from flooding by the retaining walls which surround them. These wooden walls, imported from the USA, give the course a slight Floridian feel, offset by some lovely of the local villages with the city of Danang as a backdrop.
Keeping your ball dry is the key to scoring well, and with all the par 5s clocking in under 500 yards there's plenty of opportunity to chalk up a birdie or two on this very flat course. All holes have been floodlit, offering the opportunity to get in 18 holes starting late afternoon or early evening. While they can often be an eyesore, here the floodlights have been cleverly disguised behind the many palm trees.
Away from the course there's a driving range and a large clubhouse, both shared with the Norman course. You'll find a well-stocked pro shop and an excellent selection of local Vietnamese dishes and international golf snacks, with great views over the course on offer as you enjoy a post-round beer.
Reviews
Fun night golf outing
We played the Nicklaus design and the course is well designed but gets a bit boring to be honest as almost all the holes are designed in a similar fashion. The greens were in very poor condition and needs some serious maintenance. It could be because of the recent rains. The club house is nice as are the locker rooms and the restaurant. The caddies were wonderful and knew their yardages and putting lines very well so that was impressive. I wouldn't play the course again though as having played the Norman course before, it is much better than this one.Disappointed
A big mix up with our course booking. We had originally booked to play the Norman course but having been told how bad the greens were we asked Golfsavers to change us to the Nicklaus course. We were issued a new voucher for the Nicklaus. We were issued scorecards for Nicklaus on registration then were rushed onto the course. After 3 holes we realised we were playing the Norman course! The greens were in very bad condition like we had been told. The marshal was called and we were taken to the Nicklaus course as booked. This course was in better condition, fairways good and though the greens were sandy and damaged in places. The greens did play well. When we started the 16th hole a lady from the office came out in a cart to tell us we had to stop as we had played 18 holes. If we wanted to finish the last 3 holes we would have to pay extra money! We were not happy with this . The course had made the mistake of starting us on the wrong course!!!!! We had paid to play the Nicklaus course and not allowed to finish it. This spoiled our day of golf,Bien sauf trop de monde
Tout était parfait sauf qu'il y avait beaucoup de monde nous avons mis 5h30 pour faire le parcours NicklausCourse Info
