A LEGACY TRANSFORMED: FROM MILITARY BASE TO GOLFING HAVEN

The journey of KN Golf Links unfolds on what was once the Cam Ranh U.S. military base. This historic site, imbued with a different purpose in the past, has undergone an astonishing transformation, evolving into a golfing sanctuary that combines the prowess of design with the echoes of history. The juxtaposition of lush fairways against the backdrop of the former military base grounds creates a captivating contrast, where the echoes of the past intermingle with the pursuit of golfing excellence.

The Links:
A Landscape of Mastery

Greg Norman and his dedicated team have meticulously crafted an appealing links course that meanders through the natural dunescape of sand-based terrain. With an elegant interplay between rugged landscapes and strategic design elements, Norman’s third course design in Vietnam presents a golfing journey that challenges and rewards players of all skill levels. Spanning 7,152 yards from the tournament tees, this course can also be navigated at a more approachable 5,348 yards, depending on the chosen tees.

THE OASIS: A HAVEN OF CONTRAST

In a delightful contrast to the rugged links course, the Oasis presents a 9-hole haven inspired by the lush garden courses synonymous with the region. Water hazards and meandering streams intertwine with verdant surroundings, crafting integral features harmonizing with stunning landscaping. Greg Norman’s artistry takes form as this stunning 9-hole course engages your senses and sparks inspiration.

Cameron Thompson’s prowess was enlisted for his expertise in soil root zone engineering and construction — cornerstones in building a robust foundation for the course’s success. His scientific precision and meticulous approach ensured optimal soil composition and root structure, creating an environment conducive to unparalleled long-term growth.

Beyond his contributions during the construction phase, Cameron was pivotal in guiding the grow-in process. This encompassed nurturing and cultivating fertility management and irrigation to facilitate the course’s speedy development, enhancing playing conditions throughout the year.
