Hoiana Shores Golf Club
Located just 15 minutes south of the ancient town of Hoi An, Hoiana Shores Golf Club is Vietnam’s first internationally acclaimed true coastal links course. Designed by the legendary Robert Trent Jones Jr., the 18-hole layout stretches along a pristine beachfront with uninterrupted views of the East Sea. Part of the expansive Hoiana Integrated Resort, this golf course has quickly earned global recognition for its championship pedigree, natural beauty, and authentic links-style design.
Since its opening in 2019, Hoiana Shores has received accolades from global publications and tour professionals alike. The course was named “Best New Course in Asia Pacific” and has been included in multiple lists of the world’s top emerging golf destinations.
Course Layout & Design
Playing to a par of 71 and stretching over 7,000 yards from the championship tees, Hoiana Shores is designed to challenge experienced golfers while remaining playable for all levels thanks to its range of tee boxes. The course features undulating fairways, natural sand dunes, native grasses, and firm, fast-running surfaces — all hallmark elements of true links golf.
Jones Jr. made full use of the terrain, with holes weaving through coastal dunes and finishing dramatically near the shoreline. The wind plays a crucial role, often shifting direction and influencing club selection throughout the round.

Hole 16 (Par 3): A stunning ocean-side hole where swirling coastal winds and panoramic sea views combine for a memorable tee shot.
