There are golf tournaments, and then there are celebrations that become life long memories.
On Saturday, 09 May 2026, Ba Na Hills Golf Club transformed into more than just an award-winning golf course. It became a gathering place for stories, friendships, competition, and a shared love for the game as 132 golfers came together to celebrate the club’s 10th Anniversary Tournament, a milestone marking a decade of unforgettable golfing experiences in the heart of Central Vietnam.
The excitement surrounding the event was felt long before tournament day arrived. In less than one month after registrations officially opened, the tournament reached full capacity, with more than 50 golfers added to the waiting list. The overwhelming response reflected not only the prestige of the event itself, but also the emotional connection many golfers have built with Ba Na Hills Golf Club over the past ten years.
Behind the scenes, preparations had quietly been taking shape for over six months. This year’s anniversary celebration carried a completely different spirit – elevated, immersive, and theatrical. Guests were welcomed through lush greenery-inspired installations, elegant indoor garden concepts, and a striking outdoor 3D backdrop that quickly became one of the evening’s most photographed moments. Every detail was designed to celebrate not just the club’s history, but the atmosphere and lifestyle that surround the game of golf.
Adding to the occasion was the support of more than 40 sponsors and partners, including TORO, Mileseey Golf Equipment, DOJI, Dynamic Sports, Titleist & Footjoy, adidas Golf, etc. alongside iconic hospitality and leisure destinations sister properties within the Sun Group ecosystem, such as InterContinental Danang Sun Peninsula Resort, Premier Residences Phu Quoc Emerald Bay, New World Phu Quoc Resort, Novotel Danang Premier Han River, Mercure Danang French Village Bana Hills, Sun World Ba Na Hills, NCB Bank and Eschuri Vung Bau Golf Resort. Together, they brought to life a celebration that reflected the spirit of golf, hospitality, leisure, and lifestyle experience.
This year’s Hole-in-One prizes also captured major attention throughout the tournament. Alongside exclusive experiences and prizes from within the ecosystem, golfers competed for extraordinary rewards including a Volvo XC60 Ultra valued at 2.299 billion VND at Hole #02, VND 200 million cash prize from 258 golf at Hole #8, VND 150 million cash prize from NCB at Hole #16, and total VND 200 million worth of Noressy fashion vouchers at Hole #8 & Hole #12, adding even more excitement to an already electric atmosphere.
Before the official shotgun start, golfers gathered at the staging area to test clubs, reconnect with friends, and soak in the celebratory atmosphere. As music echoed across the mountains, an energetic opening dance performance ignited the crowd before senior representatives launched smoke golf balls into the sky, a dramatic and symbolic opening moment that perfectly set the tone for the day ahead.
From noon until sunset, golfers battled through 18 holes surrounded by the misty mountains and dramatic landscapes that have made Ba Na Hills Golf Club one of Asia’s most distinctive golfing destinations. Yet beyond the competition itself, it was the atmosphere that truly defined the day, laughter shared on buggy paths, nervous anticipation on the tee box, and applause echoing across the fairways.
As golden hour settled over Hole 18, the celebration seamlessly transitioned into an elegant cocktail and canapé evening overlooking the course. Guests enjoyed a lively chipping mini game, music, conversations, and sunset views before gathering for the most anticipated moment of the night, the awards ceremony.
Unlike previous years, this year’s Gala Dinner embraced a refined long-table concept, blending elegant floral arrangements, candlelight, and natural greenery to create a warm yet sophisticated atmosphere. Thoughtfully curated details inspired by the club’s “10 Years Above the Clouds” journey were woven throughout the décor, transforming the evening into more than just a celebration, but a memorable storytelling experience shared among the Ba Na Hills golfing community.
Among all categories, the Best Gross and Best Nett titles stood as the ultimate symbols of excellence. The Best Gross champion demonstrated elite-level composure and technical brilliance to secure the tournament’s best overall score, while the Best Nett winner earned admiration for consistency, strategy, and outstanding performance under the handicap system. Their victories reflected not only talent, but also the enduring competitive spirit that continues to define the Ba Na Hills golfing community.
