“Laguna Lang Co offers a rich tapestry of experiences that visitors from Japan appreciate,” Laguna Golf Lang Co director, Stephen Banks, said. “There’s incredible golf, world-class accommodation, culinary delights, entertainment, and cultural immersion.
“It’s always a pleasure to welcome our Taiheiyo Club friends and guests. Their passion for the game and appreciation for the unique experience we offer make them cherished visitors.”
Complementing the championship golf experience, Laguna Lang Co offers a range of luxury accommodation, including the award-winning Banyan Tree Lang Co, Angsana Lang Co and Laguna Parkside Residences Lang Co for the complete resort experience.
With the resurgence of convenient direct flights between Danang and Tokyo, facilitated by Vietnam Airlines, Japanese visitors are rediscovering Central Vietnam. Beyond golf, the region’s attractions have diversified to include culinary experiences, luxury resorts, pristine beaches, and cultural landmarks, particularly the historic city of Hue, just an hour north of Laguna Lang Co.
Laguna Lang Co offers Japanese travellers seamless access to Vietnam’s cultural and natural wonders. The resort’s centrepiece is the Sir Nick Faldo Signature golf course, nestled between lush mountains and the pristine East Sea. The challenging yet stunning layout has resonated with Taiheiyo Club members, making it a top choice for golfing enthusiasts from Japan.
“The rice, rocks, beach, and buffaloes make Laguna Lang Co a favourite for our members,” Taiheiyo Club executive, Jiro Nonaka, said. “It’s a truly unique experience that combines Vietnam’s natural charm with the challenge of a world-class golf course.”
Eight years ago, Japanese travellers primarily associated Central Vietnam with its golf courses. Today, the destination has evolved, offering a rich tapestry of experiences that appeal to a broader audience. Laguna Lang Co remains at the forefront of this transformation, blending high-quality golf with luxury accommodations and immersive cultural offerings.
