Vietnam Golf Coast (VGC) clubs are strengthening community bonds in central Vietnam through public-spirited initiatives.

The VGC, a destination marketing collaboration between three of the area’s signature golf clubs—Laguna Golf Lang Co, Montgomerie Links, and Ba Na Hills Golf Club—has made community engagement a cornerstone of its mission.

This commitment to corporate social responsibility (CSR) is demonstrated through various projects that contribute significantly to the welfare of local communities.

A standout initiative under this banner is Green Hope 2024, a life-saving project that addresses one of the most pressing issues in Vietnam today—child drowning. Green Hope 2024 offers free swimming lessons and drowning prevention skills to children in Quang Nam Province.

Efforts to foster community ties are also strongly evident at Laguna Golf Lang Co, a club renowned for its sustainability and CSR programs. Its “edible golf course” initiative — where resident water buffalo tend the rice fields on the course — has captured the imagination of a global audience. The paddies yield up to 20 tons of rice used to support the organic farm at Laguna Lang Co and are donated to families and seniors in the area.

Other important initiatives include free golf lessons in local schools. This initiative promotes the sport among young people and teaches important values such as discipline, teamwork, and respect for others.

Vietnam Golf Coast clubs regularly organize fundraising golf events. These events serve as vital platforms for raising funds for local charities and community projects. Funds are allocated towards various causes, including education, healthcare, and environmental conservation, reinforcing the clubs’ commitment to being a force for good in the community.
