After gathering online votes, the Judges Panel members have visited high online-voting golf courses and other prestigious ones in Vienam in order to give an accurate evaluation and rating. The results of each of the judges are reported to the Judges Panel chaired by Vietnam Golf Association, Vietnam National Administration of Tourism, Vietnam Administration of Sports and international golf experts. Especially, this year’s Judges Panel included Ms. Kwee Fah and Mr. Alan Yew, USGA Accredited Golf Course Raters and R&A Level-3 referees, and Mr. Mark Siegel, Managing Director of GolfAsian - the most famous travel company in Asia, who has a deep understanding of golf courses in Vietnam.
Mr. Doan Manh Giao, Chairman of the Judges Panel, Head of The Organisation Board, commented “This is the 8th time Vietnam Golf Magazine is honored as the leading magazine held successfully the “Vietnam’s Best Golf Course Awards 2019”. Two years ago, Vietnam had only 30 golf courses with 20,000 players. This year the number has increased to nearly 60 courses and more than 40,000 players with better and better quality, bringing more exciting experiences for players. The Awards will promote strongly the development of Vietnam golf industry, encouraging golf courses to upgrade their services and promote Vietnam as one of the most attractive golf destinations in the region and the world”.
