Blueprints call for two championship courses at Danang Golf Club. For now, there’s just one — but what a layout it is. Credit architect Greg Norman and Mother Nature. Both had an equal hand in shaping the Dunes Course, a links-style masterpiece that evokes an experience often found in seaside layouts in the British Isles and Australia’s famed ‘Sandbelt’ region. The Central Coast’s newest track (opened May 2010) weaves its way through — while seamlessly blending into — rugged sand dunes that trundle down to a stretch of beach that Forbes magazine voted one of the world’s 10 most luxurious in 2005. Indeed, the signature hole — the dramatic par-3 16th — backs right up to said beach (lapped by the East Sea and featuring the Cham Islands in the distance). The club’s many amenities include a massive practice facility with a driving range facing the iconic Marble Mountains; and, soon, a 3,800-square-foot clubhouse that echoes the gently tiered contours of the dune topography on which it is set.
