The sand you find in the dunes bushes are the very very soft and fine grain sand type. I tried getting out by looking for distance and it was so frustrating that I finally give out and find the easiest way out and sometimes even play my shot away from the green just to get back on the fairway.

When playing golf in Montgomerie and Danang Golf Club, you must know your distances very very well, you might hit the best shot but still land in bunkers / dunes.

The wind plays a very very very big part in your game.

oh man.. with so much wind.. its as good as tee kum tee kum distance..

Course Management is very very important. That is all I can say. As much I as I enjoyed the courses, I was not able to break 110 due to my inability to factor in the wind into my game.

Looks more challenging than Twin Doves..Now you got me drooling Winston..

even playing in SG only, I still cannot take into account the little bit of wind.. geeee

I am thinking of moving to Danang to stay and work so I can train for 6 months. I personally guarantee, if you can play well in the 2 courses, you can play anywhere in the world...

Twin doves is NOTHING compared to these 2 courses.....

It is Lifestyle Resort. IT is about the midway point between the City and the golf course.
