1. The Strong Development of Phu Quoc Golf Courses
On the map of Vietnamese golf, Phu Quoc appeared later than traditional destinations such as Da Nang or Nha Trang. However, with its special natural advantages and significant investment in high-class tourism infrastructure by reputable investors, the Phu Quoc golf courses system is gradually asserting its own position.

Unlike golf courses located in bustling urban areas, most Phu Quoc golf courses are planned on coastal or forest land, creating an ideal separation for players. The spacious atmosphere, diverse natural terrain, and year-round mild climate are factors that make the Pearl Island an ideal choice for those seeking a high-end sports experience in a luxurious resort setting.
Notably, some golf courses here are closely linked to the ecosystem of 5-star hotels and resorts, creating a "golf combined with resort" model that is very popular.
