To prepare for this tournament, ADT’s expert Mr. Chokchai Boonprasert, who is also the tournament director, went to Danang and worked with a representative of BRG Group to make requirements for the course’s specifications. Designed by Nicklaus Design, the embankment-style golf course that has been in operation since 2018 is a Par 73 course, but in the upcoming tournament the course will be set at a standard Par 72 with a total length of 7,363 yards, in which the 10th hole, which is normally a Par 5 hole, will be adjusted to a Par 4 hole with a length of 502 yards. This will be a challenge for golfers participating in the tournament.
In addition to the above adjustment, the grass area on the course will also be set at standard length such as fairway grass 11mm, semi rough 25mm, rough 60mm, green speed during the tournament days will be maintained at 9 feet 6 to 10 feet 6.
