Designed by golf legend Greg Norman, the seaside course is renowned not only for its natural beauty but also for the strategic difficulties it presents to golfers.
“Just days ago, we were tackling the mountainous terrain of Dalat Palace Golf Club [in Lam Dong Province]. Now, we are facing a new set of challenges on a coastal course,” said golf legend Phil Harrison, CEO of the Legends Tour.
“The ocean breeze here can drastically alter ball trajectories. It demands a new level of calculation and technical adjustment from every golfer."

The Vietnam Legends Championship stages are played under the Scramble format, introduced by the tournament organizers for the first time in Vietnam.
The format required teams of four amateur golfers to play one 18-hole round together.
For each hole, the best performance among the four counts as the team’s score.
The final scores from Stage 2 were extremely close.
The winning team of Vinh, Dung, Vu, and Thong edged out their competitors with a score of 59.
In second place, the team of Dang Hong Quang, Nguyen Hung Nguyen, Nguyen Danh Minh, and Nguyen Quoc Bao Huy posted a Gross 62.
The team of Nguyen Hong Chinh, Nguyen Duy Ngoc, Pham Thanh Tuan, and Le Chi Cong secured third place with a score of 63.
“We are honored to be part of such a prestigious tournament,” said Nguyen Duc Long Hung, general manager of KN Golf Links.
“Over the years, the course has welcomed many major events, and this year we continue that legacy by hosting a stage of the Vietnam Legends Championship, part of the globally renowned Legends Tour.
“Beyond competition, we aim to contribute to the community by offering golf training programs to newcomers and children.
“Events like this are also a great platform to showcase Vietnam’s world-class golf courses to an international audience."
