The price is per person and balls cannot be shared. The offer also excludes any equipment rental.

Combining this with the free shuttle bus that Montgomerie Links offers from Indochina Riverside Towers is a great way for people interested in playing golf in Danang to experience such a great golf course.

I have had a few queries about where to find a decent gym in Danang. I am sorry to report that there aren’t many options of yoau are looing for a western gym with lots of treadmills and weight machines. There are of course plenty of Vietnamese gyms with free weights in very basic conditions, no showers or changing rooms. If it is a western style gym you are after then the Green Plaza Hotel’s Gym is the best there is.

The gym is located on the eighth floor next to the hotel’s swimming pool, you couldn’t ask for a better setting with fantastic city views. The gym is not huge but it never seems to get too busy so there shouldn’t be a problem of ever having to wait to use some equipment. The showers and changing rooms are to the standards you would expect of a four star hotel.

The biggest draw back fo the Green Plaza Hotel Gym is the price. For a one time visit you will be charged $10 USD, this includes use of the pool, sauna and gym. The monthly fee is $100 USD for an unlimited number of visits. The management assures that competitive prices can be arranged if you join for 3 or 6 months, he wasn’t specific on how much of a discount is possible.

Danang has quite a large number of places where you can by sports equipment, most of them are scattered around town and tend to focus on one particular sport, tennis, football, swimming etc. The area the central football stadium on Ngo Gia Tu Street has a string of shops you are likely to find whatever sports equipment you are looking for at reasonable prices.

Most of the sports equipment shops are small family run places that close during lunch hours, 11.30am to 1.30pm and they usually welcome some light hearted bargaining. i would expect delivery to be included in any price especially for large bulky items. Choose your equipment wisely, refunds are difficult if not impossible to obtain, don’t expect western standards of quality.

As well as stocking sports equipment including balls, rackets, weights, exercise bikes, basketball rings and weight machines most of the shops also supply sports clothing. The clothing ranges in quality and price, it may difficult to find larger sizes here. Size 45 seems to be the largest shoe size I can find and if you are an XL back home you will struggle to find a t-shirt or shorts to fit you here.
