(Hoi An, Vietnam, July 23, 2009) – Vietnam’s most exclusive lifestyle resort, The Nam Hai, has teamed up with The Montgomerie Links, a new championship course designed by European Tour legend Colin Montgomerie beside fabled China Beach, to offer exclusive stay and play packages.
The first Montgomerie-branded course in Asia marks the arrival of golf tourism in Vietnam when it officially opens on August 17.
Including an upscale clubhouse, PGA golf academy and 60 luxury villas, the US$45 million project has been developed by Indochina Land, which also built the award-winning Nam Hai resort.
To introduce the new course, The Nam Hai Golf Package offers two nights accommodation and two rounds at The Montgomerie Links, including transportation, green fee and caddie, plus return airport transfers from nearby Danang Airport and daily buffet breakfast.
Weekday prices are US$2,172 for a one-bedroom hotel villa and US$2,226 for a one-bedroom pool villa; whilst weekend prices, which include public holidays, are US$3,043 and US$3,097 respectively. The offer is valid until the end of 2010.
The Nam Hai also offers a three-day golf training program for beginners starting at US$670 per person, including a proficiency certificate, preferential tee times and green fees. A five-day session starts at US$999.
Following the signature style of his flagship courses in Dubai, Ireland and Wales, Colin Montgomerie describes the course as "memorable and challenging...an experience not to be missed".
Peter Ryder, CEO of Indochina Capital, said: “Just as The Nam Hai set a new standard for resort excellence in Vietnam, the Montgomerie Links will do the same for golf. It raises the benchmark for golf tourism in Vietnam."
The course’s general manager, Jon Tomlinson, said: "This remains a young golfing country, so we’ve planned an ongoing schedule of clinics for members and visitors who are new to the game. But the facility has also been created to suit the most sophisticated golfing tastes."
The facility also includes a teaching academy led by certified PGA professionals, capable of training all levels of players through expert one-on-one instruction and video swing analysis techniques. The full program will be implemented by next spring.
The Montgomerie Links complements The Nam Hai's luxury experiences including gourmet dining and pampering at a world renowned spa, along with recreation for all the family ranging from guided tours to World Heritage sites to sunrise fishing with locals, beach BBQs, cocktail parties and movie nights.
Featuring 40 private pool villas and 60 hotel villas, all with ocean views, The Nam Hai, was hailed “Best Resort” in the world by Travel + Leisure in its 2008 Design Awards. When the resort opened in 2007, it was ranked 'One of the Top New Hotels and Spas in the World' on the USA and UK Conde Nast Traveler HOT LIST. Frommers Review 2008 wrote: “Simply put, The Nam Hai is the best resort in Vietnam.”
An ideal destination for cultural and historical exploration, The Nam Hai is connected to the world via Danang’s international airport, just 30 minutes away, with direct flights from Hanoi, Ho Chi Minh City, Singapore and Bangkok.
The five-star resort is a member of the prestigious The Leading Small Hotels of the World and Virtuoso.
