9 Golf Holidays in Vietnam: 4. Golf in Quy Nhon
A golf holiday in Quy Nhon evokes the likely reaction – where is that? Well, Quy Nhon is a coastal city in South-Central Vietnam, known for its beaches and quiet domestic tourism. The recent development of 2 high-quality golf courses in Quy Nhon has placed the city on the Vietnam golf map. On the face of it, two golf courses may not suffice in making Quy Nhon a golf destination. However, it is not always about how many, but how good.
Not How Many, But How Good?
The FLC Golf Resort in Quy Nhon may just be enough reason for a golf holiday in Quy Nhon. The expansive development overlooking the South China Sea houses all the luxuries that one would need in a relaxed holiday. You can stay in one of the beach front villas with nothing but the sea, sun and sand. And when you have had enough, a buggy is all you need. It will bring you to the starter and you can state your wish. The 2 golf courses in Quy Nhon are right there to wish from. The Nicklaus Design Ocean Course and the Schmidt Curley designed Mountain Course. They may be far removed in a place like Quy Nhon, but could well be the reason to go there.
They Can Hold Their Own

Boutique Luxury
There are other options as well to choose your stay in during a golf holiday in Quy Nhon. Some of the luxury brands have built properties in the area.
