Ba Na Hills Named Asia\u2019s Best Course at 2017 World Golf Awards<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

DANANG, Vietnam, November 28:<\/strong> For the second year in a row, Ba Na Hills Golf Club has earned a prominent place on one of the biggest stages in world golf.<\/p>\n

On Saturday, the Luke Donald design on the outskirts of Danang won \u2018Asia\u2019s Best Golf Course\u2019 at the 2017 World Golf Awards in La Manga del Mar, Spain. <\/p>\n

In 2016, it was voted \u2018World\u2019s Best New Golf Course\u2019 at the event, which annually attracts some of the game\u2019s biggest names and most powerful figures from more than 40 countries.<\/p>\n

Since launching in 2014, the World Golf Awards has come to be regarded as the most prestigious awards program in golf tourism.<\/p>\n

Winners are determined through an open, online survey conducted between March and October and celebrated in November during the prize-giving portion of a three-day, networking extravaganza.<\/p>\n

This year, hundreds of thousands of ballots were cast in a variety of different categories, all created to celebrate the companies, courses and destinations helping to shape the future of the golf tourism industry.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis year\u2019s World Golf Awards was the biggest yet,\u201d said Chris Frost, the program\u2019s managing director. \u201cWith every continent represented, it was truly global.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"BaOpened in March 2016 at the foot of a towering mountain range about half an hour west of Danang, Ba Na Hills Golf Club offers a golf product unlike any other in Vietnam.<\/p>\n

In collaboration with IMG, which also built and fully manages the course, former world No. 1 player Donald conceived a championship-standard layout that blends seamlessly into a rolling piece of terrain accentuated by lakes, streams and lush vegetation.<\/p>\n

Among the course\u2019s standout features are its flexibility \u2014 it can play long, short or anywhere in between, thanks to five sets of tee boxes \u2014 its comprehensive lighting system, and its views.<\/p>\n

The most breathtaking vantage point comes at the par-3 12th hole, which plays downhill to a bunker-guarded green backdropped by a dense forest stretching as far as the eye can see.<\/p>\n

\"Ba<\/a>Ba Na Hills Golf Club is owned by Sun Group, one of the leading investors in Vietnam. The InterContinental Danang Sun Peninsula Resort, Novotel Danang Premier Han River Hotel and Ba Na Hills Mountain Resort are among the other properties in its portfolio.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
