KN Golf Links Cam Ranh
Set on the stunning southern coast of Cam Ranh Bay, just a 10-minute drive from the international airport, KN Golf Links is a world-class links-style course crafted by golfing legend Greg Norman. Opened in 2018, this 18-hole championship layout is located within the expansive KN Paradise Resort Complex, offering a scenic, windswept, and pure golf experience that ranks among Vietnam’s finest.
The site’s natural topography—with sand dunes, coastal scrub, and constant sea breezes—makes it an ideal canvas for Norman’s minimalist, strategic design. KN Golf Links has been recognized in global golf rankings and praised for combining raw beauty with technical challenge.
Course Layout & Design
KN Golf Links plays to a par 72 and stretches over 7,152 yards from the back tees. The front nine features sweeping views of the ocean and undulating fairways that run through rugged dunes, while the back nine moves inland into a desert-style layout with bolder elevation changes and risk-reward options.
Greg Norman’s design encourages ground game strategies, making use of firm fairways, natural contours, and tight run-off areas around greens. The course is exposed to wind most of the year, adding to the links-style demands and variability in play.
Signature Holes Include:
-
Hole 1 (Par 5): A dramatic opening hole downhill with sea views and a wide fairway inviting a bold start.
-
Hole 9 (Par 3): A visually stunning hole surrounded by dunes and coastal vegetation.
-

Why Choose KN Golf Links Cam Ranh?
KN Golf Links combines Greg Norman’s vision with breathtaking coastline to offer one of Southeast Asia’s most authentic links golf experiences. It’s a must-play for any serious golfer visiting the Nha Trang or Cam Ranh region.
KN Golf Links Cam Ranh delivers one of the most visually arresting and strategically rewarding rounds of golf in Vietnam. Set along the rugged coastline of Cam Ranh Bay, this Greg Norman-designed course embraces its natural dunes and wide-open landscape to create a genuine links experience. From the very first tee, the course presents dramatic sightlines, shifting winds, and a sense of scale that makes each hole feel like a cinematic moment.
We were especially impressed by the attention to detail in the design. The fairways are firm and fast, inviting creative shot-making and low-running approaches. Greens are well-protected but fair, and the bunkering—both in placement and form—is classic Norman: bold, strategic, and beautifully sculpted. The course is playable for mid-handicappers but offers plenty of teeth for advanced golfers, especially when the coastal wind starts to howl.
Away from the fairways, KN Golf Links offers a seamless resort experience. The clubhouse is elevated with ocean views, and the practice facilities are expansive and modern. With its proximity to Cam Ranh International Airport and pairing with luxury resort infrastructure, it’s a perfect stop on any Vietnam golf itinerary. KN Golf Links isn’t just one of Vietnam’s best—it’s one of Asia’s most exciting modern layouts.
