• SIGNATURES: The 9th, a peekaboo par-3 that plays between towering dunes, has been called out by GOLF Magazine as one of the Top 500 holes in the world.
• GETTING THERE: Phan Thiet, three hours by the 5-Star Express (train) or car from HCM City, is the heart of booming Binh Thuan Province, a.k.a. the Vietnamese Riviera.
• SIGNATURES II: No. 9 gets all the ink, but the gorgeous par-4 13th plays all along ocean and the par-5 8th, with its watery left side and peninsula green, is another stunner.
• KARMA STOP: A beautifully preserved East Asian temple sits just right of the third green at Oceans Dunes. It’s a family temple, built to honor ancestors, but feel free to drop in for some good karma.
• ONE-STOP SHOP: Ocean Dunes is the only true “golf resort” in Vietnam, where players can roll out of bed and onto the first tee.
• TOPS IN ASIA: In late 2006, Asian Golf Monthly magazine ranked the top golf resorts in all of Asia. Ocean Dunes and the Novotel Phan Thiet placed 10th on that list. |
