BRG Danang Golf Resort now offers two world class courses designed by Jack Nicklaus Design and Greg Norman Golf Design 
The golf course is set amongst some very interesting, rolling sand dunes with elevation changes from 4 metres to 11 metres. 
The course will offer numerous green sites with the stunning backdrop of Ha Long Bay viewed from high above, framed by rock outcrops and mature native vegetation punctuated with pines. The site and its dramatic terrain offers a drastic departure from the sandy dunes of many Vietnamese sites along the coast, including the Schmidt-Curley Design, 10-course project underway in Quang Binh. Being above a series of ridges, the course will feature dramatic, sweeping views on every hole and strong elevation changes in many cases.
At Ha Long Bay, Schmidt-Curley Design has once again teamed up with Flagstick Golf Construction Management and its President, Martin Moore, another veteran of transforming difficult terrain into stunning designs.
“Ha Long Bay will soon have one of the most photogenic courses in the world,” said Brian Curley, who is heading up the effort. “We are very fortunate and honoured to continue our maiden efforts into the Vietnam golf market with the FLC Group, a team with enormous vision that has its sights set on creating fantastic golf on world-class properties that will soon be at the forefront of the travelling golfer’s list of must-play destinations.” Curley also said the design team is eager to create a course with unique features, including a wide variety of length, such as a 110-yard par-three overlooking Ha Long Bay.
The 18-hole Ha Long Bay course is expected to be completed by year’s end and open for play in 2017.
