Vietnam has long been celebrated for its rich heritage, stunning landscapes, and warm hospitality. But over the past decade, another facet of the country's allure has come to light — world-class golf experiences. That reputation has just received a powerful global boost: Greg Norman, the legendary Australian golfer and global entrepreneur, has been reappointed as Vietnam's Tourism Ambassador for the 2025–2030 term.
According to the Vietnamese Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism, this appointment is a cornerstone of the nation’s golf diplomacy strategy, connecting the country’s tourism offering with global elite sports, lifestyle, and business communities.
A Global Icon Elevating Vietnam’s Golf Appeal
Nicknamed “The Great White Shark”, Greg Norman is not only a household name in professional golf, but also a visionary in course design and luxury travel. With more than 90 international titles and a global media presence, Norman brings decades of prestige and influence to Vietnam’s positioning as Asia’s emerging luxury golf destination.
Having designed three signature golf courses in Vietnam since 2006, Norman isn’t just a symbolic ambassador — he’s an architect of Vietnam’s premium golf landscape.
At the reappointment ceremony held on July 18, 2025, Norman reaffirmed his commitment:
"I’m proud to continue promoting Vietnam — not just for golf, but as a destination of culture, nature, and remarkable hospitality."
Why Vietnam Luxury Golf Tours Are Gaining Global Attention
With the rise of integrated resorts, private villas, and designer golf courses from Da Nang to Ho Tram, Vietnam is rapidly climbing the ranks among Asia’s elite golf destinations. These are not ordinary rounds of golf — they are immersive travel experiences tailored for the refined traveler:
-
Exclusive tee times at courses designed by icons like Norman, Nick Faldo, and Colin Montgomerie.
-
5-star beachfront resorts with private caddies, bespoke spa treatments, and Michelin-starred dining.
-
Private transfers, scenic seaplane charters, and curated cultural excursions between rounds.
-
Access to international tournaments and VIP events, especially as Vietnam prepares to host world-class competitions in the coming years under Norman’s guidance.
Destinations such as Laguna Lang Co, KN Golf Links Cam Ranh, BRG Da Nang Golf Resort, and The Bluffs Ho Tram Strip are redefining what Vietnam luxury golf tours mean to global travelers.
A New Era for Golf Tourism in Vietnam
The reappointment of Greg Norman is more than a headline — it's a signal of Vietnam’s global ambition in the high-end tourism sector. With Norman actively promoting Vietnam to over 175,000+ followers on his platforms and behind-the-scenes support in hosting international events, the stage is set for Vietnam to become Asia’s leading luxury golf destination by 2030.
As international demand grows for tailor-made, meaningful travel experiences, Vietnam luxury golf tours are becoming a compelling blend of sport, scenery, and sophistication.
