Laguna is a very nice course located about an hour or so north of Danang. It’s near the water so there are a few holes with nice water views overlooking the beach. There are also a lot of vacation homes and such in the area so it’s nice.
The clubhouse is also very nice and we had some time to grab a quick snack before our round. We also had some time to head over to the driving range before our round so it was nice to warm up and hit some balls. The range is also a grass range so it’s always nice to hit your irons on actual grass.
The course is a lot of fun with a good number of bunkers. Greens were in mediocre condition though with a few holes where the greens were in terrible condition. Because of the poor green conditions, the pro shop said that we would be getting a 25% refund on our green fees so that was a nice gesture.
But the biggest problem was pace of play. We had a threesome ahead of us and a foursome behind us and it seemed like we were waiting at every hole and pretty much every time we hit the ball. It was a pretty painful 5+ hour round.
Normally I wouldn’t really mind too much since it’s a pretty course but the tempo really takes you out of your play since you get warmed up only to sit around for 15 minutes, etc.
I don’t know if I will go back. It’s just a bit too far but if I were staying in the area I would consider it.
