1. Robust growth of the Phu Quoc golf course system
On the Vietnamese golf map, Phu Quoc is a name that appeared later compared to traditional destinations like Da Nang or Nha Trang. However, with special natural advantages and large investments in high-class tourism infrastructure by reputable investors, the Phu Quoc golf course system is gradually asserting its own position.

Unlike golf courses located amidst bustling urban areas, most Phu Quoc golf courses are planned on coastal or forest-adjacent terrain, creating an ideal separation for players. Spaciousness, diverse natural terrain, and a year-round mild climate are factors that make the Pearl Island an ideal choice for those seeking a top-tier sports experience in a luxurious resort setting.
Notably, some golf courses here are also closely linked with 5-star hotel and resort ecosystems, offering the increasingly popular "golf combined with resort" model.
