Ten straight. Vietnam’s grip on Asia’s top golf destination award is still intact—and Khanh Hoa is helping keep that run alive.
At the 2026 World Golf Awards ceremony in Egypt, Vietnam was named “Asia’s Best Golf Destination 2026,” extending its winning streak to a decade. Khanh Hoa’s international-standard courses and high-end resorts remain a key part of the country’s golf tourism appeal.
Vietnam’s haul did not stop at the regional title. Hanoi claimed “World’s Best Golf City Destination 2026,” adding another global honor to the titles the capital earned in 2023 and 2024. Two awards. One strong showing for Vietnamese golf tourism.
Khanh Hoa Has the Courses—and the Draw
Khanh Hoa’s appeal starts with its lineup: Vinpearl Golf Nha Trang, KN Golf Links Cam Ranh, Diamond Bay Golf Nha Trang and Anara Binh Tien Golf Club. These world-class coastal and island courses connect golf with premium seaside resorts, drawing domestic and international visitors. Nha Trang has also hosted national-scale events, including the Vietnam - Nha Trang Golf Festival 2024, which brought together 280 golfers from across the country.
The draw goes beyond the scorecard. Nha Trang–Khanh Hoa’s favorable climate, mild weather and limited rainfall support year-round play and high course utilization. Strong connectivity and short flights from South Korea, Japan and Taiwan help position the province for trips that pair golf with a resort getaway.
Tournaments In Times Ahead: What’s On?
On the tournament front, a busy late October 2026 has given way to the next stretch of planning. Courses across Nha Trang–Khanh Hoa are preparing year-end internal events while shaping their 2027 schedules.
Late October 2026 brought two notable championships to Vinpearl Golf Nha Trang.
More than 110 golfers competed in the 2026 Khanh Hoa Golf Championship on October 30 at Vinpearl Golf Nha Trang on Hon Tre Island. The course had also hosted the 2026 Central Swing Club Championship on October 27, bringing the local golf community together for a spirited day of competition.
Attention now turns to tournament plans for late 2026 and early 2027, as courses prepare year-end events and the next season’s calendar takes shape.
As 2026 winds down, the VGA Tour and Development Tour series are shifting the national professional circuit toward southern Vietnam and nearby areas, with the Vietnam Legends Tour in Phan Thiet among the events in focus.
Vinpearl Golf Nha Trang and KN Golf Links Cam Ranh will focus on internal tournaments, Christmas and New Year celebrations, and club outings during November, December and the first quarter of 2027. Family associations and corporate groups are among the organizers.
Details of major annual events, including the Vinpearl Golf Friendship Cup, and the Vietnam Golf Association’s official 2027 schedule are expected to be announced early next year.
