The Bluffs Grand Ho Tram was designed to capture the true essence of links-style golf. Set on the coastline — as almost all great links courses are — The Bluffs is routed over and around towering sand dunes, which have been shaped over thousands of years by the elements. The wind plays a major role in the experience here, its always there, and its prevailing direction and strength differs depending on the time of year. Said the course’s designer, Greg Norman: “The experience of playing true links golf among the dunes of southern Vietnam and having dramatic ocean views throughout your round has made The Bluffs Grand Ho Tram one of the most unique golf experiences in the world.”
1号洞是一个4杆洞,和第9洞共用一条球道,和古老的圣安德鲁森老球场很相似,作为回合的开始是很好掌控的。但是开球越直,打上果岭就越直。第二杆时尽量对准坡上果岭的左侧,因为即便在这个方向失球仍有很大可能击中果岭表面。
The Bluffs的第一个短球洞,但也是难度系数最高的之一。它地处下坡,四周防御极佳——左侧是国家森林(越界),右侧是水区,前方和果岭后各有一个大沙坑等待失球落入。平稳自信地挥杆,打出精准的码数。打过去就是相对平坦的果岭,是对成功找到它的人的奖励。
The Bluffs Grand Ho Tram was designed by a true legend of the game: Greg Norman. The ‘Great White Shark’ as he’s lovingly called, spent an astounding 331 weeks atop the world golf rankings and won the Open Championship twice. His Florida-based design firm has conceived over 100 international- standard layouts worldwide. But if you ask him, few compared to what he has created at The Bluffs Ho Tram. “We begin each new golf course design with a least-disturbance approach. Our design team dedicates time and effort to finding the most desirable natural features of a site and incorporates them into the routing. Streams, rock features, vegetation and undulating topography are a few natural elements that can provide a golf course with its own unique feel when incorporated into the playing strategy” “This is one of only two pieces of land of this quality and character I have ever been given to work with — the other being Doonbeg [in Ireland],” Norman said.” I’m a firm believer in using what Mother Nature gives us on a particular site. This one has it all.”
