GOLF COURSE OVERVIEW

The Ocean Course at PGA NovaWorld Phan Thiet is a championship golf course with a length of 7,400 yards and was designed by the former world number one golfer, Greg Norman. Providing panoramic views of the East Vietnam Sea, the course’s 18 holes blend the styles of a Parkland and Links course, featuring rugged and undulating sand dunes adorned with native grasses, adding distinctive accents to the rolling fairways.

The tee boxes are a distinctive feature here, stretching up to 100 meters in length on some holes. This allows the course to be set up in various ways, providing additional diversity for regular visitors and offering suitable tee-off options for golfers of all skill levels, whether they are world-class players or beginners.

Designed to adapt to the local wind direction, the holes on the course offer numerous playing options from the tee, depending on how the golfer wants to approach the greens. Norman, known as the “Great White Shark”, has not only incorporated the “Shark Alley” for more adventurous players on the fairway but also included several “speed points” in various areas that, when found, can support any shot towards the green and open up potential birdie opportunities.

The yard is covered with 100% Zoysia grass and Primo Zoysia grass, both of which use less fertilizer and require less water, Ocean has been built with the environment in mind. All of that combines to ensure any visitor to NovaWorld is sure to have a truly exceptional golfing experience.

The Garden Course at PGA NovaWorld Phan Thiet is designed to bring endless fun to players of all levels and serves as the exclusive training center for PGA students in Vietnam.

The Garden Course is designed with classic Parkland style, with a length of 7,200 yards – Par 72, and is expected to be one of the most beautiful golf courses in Vietnam. The design of the course is inspired by the “Sandbelt” region of Melbourne Australia, with sandy bunkers located right alongside the green areas, along with strategically placed water hazards and bunkers. This demands players to have accurate tee shots as well as precise approaches to the greens.

One of the standout features is a meandering stream that flows through several of the front 9 holes, adding not only aesthetic beauty but also providing a formidable challenge. There is a slight change in elevation as you enter the back 9 holes, ascending to that area to enjoy a breathtaking panoramic view of Phan Thiet Bay before returning to the reality of the game for the final hole.

When the round is over, you not only see the flow reappear, but you also see a waterfall on the 18th green providing a dramatic end to a great round of golf. All that remains is for golfers to choose between pushing a finishing birdie or playing it safe and preserving their score – a final test of their game before the round ends on the Garden.
