AccorHotels Vietnam World Masters Golf Championship to Take Place 4-10 September 2016

Following the inaugural AccorHotels Vietnam World Masters Golf Championship last September, the event will this year return to Danang in Central Vietnam from 4 to 10 September.

Open to male and female club golfers aged 35 and above, this week-long celebration of golf, social events, cultural experiences and sightseeing is expected to participants from Australia, New Zealand, United States, Canada, Philippines, Malaysia, Hong Kong and of course the host nation, Vietnam.

“We’re thrilled to co-host the AccorHotels Vietnam World Masters Golf Championship in 2016 and further highlight Danang as a world-class golf destination, where golfers and spectators can enjoy award-wining golf courses and delight in our wonderful beachfront and riverside hotels,” said Patrick Basset, Chief Operating Officer for AccorHotels Upper Southeast and Northeast Asia.

Participants will play rounds at Danang Golf Club, named by Golf Magazine USA in 2010 as one of the top 15 golf courses to open worldwide, and Montgomerie Links Vietnam, which was voted Best Golf Course in Vietnam in 2010 and 2011 by Vietnam Golf Magazine.

Accommodation during the event is available at Pullman Danang Beach Resort, the official tournament hotel, as well as Premier Village Danang Resort by Accor and Novotel Danang Premier Han River.

Pablo Soon from the Philippines has competed in tournaments around the world and rates the Vietnam World Masters among the best.

"I think Danang is perfect for golf holidays and we were spoilt with the event organisation and hospitality this week. The downtown area is beautiful and we enjoyed the restaurants and bars. We are already decided to come back for the tournament next year," he said.
