PGA Ocean Golf Course – NovaWorld Phan Thiet: Vietnam’s First PGA-Licensed Championship Links

Set along Vietnam’s southeast coast, the PGA Ocean Golf Course at NovaWorld Phan Thiet delivers a dramatic links-style experience with sweeping sea views, rugged bunkers, and native vegetation. Designed by Greg Norman, this par-72 layout plays over 7,400 yards and features multiple tee boxes that vary playing length by up to 100 yards.

The course’s standout stretch—known as the “Shark Loop”—includes holes 13 to 15: a short par-5, a drivable par-4, and a 650-yard par-5 with a two-tiered green protected by waste bunkers. Wind conditions shift daily, adding variety and challenge to each round. With Zeon Zoysia fairways and multi-tiered greens, PGA Ocean offers tournament-level conditions year-round.
