Two hundred and eighty golfers are expected to participate in the three-day event at the Vinpearl Nha Trang Golf Course and KN Golf Links Cam Ranh.

Through the festival, Sai Gon Giai Phong is looking to boost the golf market in Vietnam and promote its development as a key feature of the country’s tourism offerings in the years to come, Suong said.
The festival will feature a vibrant lineup of activities beyond the golf tournament.
Festival-goers could explore the ‘Vietnam Golf Path’ exhibition and participate in challenges such as trial sessions and 3D golf practice guided by professional trainers.
