The course beat out a total of 11 nominees, including Angkor Golf Resort of Cambodia, Black Mountain Championship Golf Course of Thailand and The 27 Club of China to take the title.

Ba Na Hills Golf Club was also selected as ‘Viet Nam’s Best Golf Course of the Year’, besting Da Lat Golf Palace, Laguna Golf Lang Co, and 6 other nominees.

It is the second year in a row that the club has been honoured at this event, which has become one of the most prestigious awards in the world of golf since it was held for the first time in 2014.

Last year, the Ba Na Hills course was recognised as the World’s Best New Golf Course.

Designed by former world No 1 Luke Donald and managed by IMG, the par-72, 18-hole course is located at the foothills of the famed Ba Na Hills on Viet Nam’s central coast, 25 minutes from downtown Da Nang.

Its 5 sets of tees and balance of challenging and enjoyable terrain ensure players of all levels are assured a pleasurable round of golf.

Another Vietnamese winner at the Spanish ceremony was The Grand Ho Tram Strip, named ‘World’s Best Golf Hotel’.  Viet Nam was named ‘Asia’s Best Golf Destination’.
