They also announced New South Wales Golf Club in Sydney, Australia, as host from November 2-5, 2028. Both venues will be playing host to the Asia-Pacific Amateur for the first time. <\/p>\r\n\r\n<\/p>\r\n\r\n
The 18th Asia-Pacific Amateur in 2027 will mark the first time in the Championship\u2019s history that it will take place in Vietnam. The 19th Asia-Pacific Amateur in 2028 will be the third edition in Australia after previous stops at The Royal Melbourne Golf Club in 2014 and 2023. <\/p>\r\n\r\n<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Speaking on behalf of the founding partners, Mark Darbon, Chief Executive of The R&A, said, \u201cWe are very fortunate to be able to stage the Asia-Pacific Amateur Championship at some of the world\u2019s finest courses, and Hoiana Shores and New South Wales are undoubtedly in that category. We are very much looking forward to taking the championship to Vietnam for the first time and enjoying one of the world\u2019s great emerging golf destinations.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cWe are also thrilled to be returning to Australia and visiting such a renowned championship venue as New South Wales for the first time. Both courses will offer outstanding tests of golf for the players in wonderful locations and create exciting new chapters for the AAC,\u201d he said. <\/p>\r\n\r\n<\/p>\r\n\r\n
The field for the annual event comprises top male amateurs in the Asia-Pacific region representing the 43 Asia-Pacific Golf Confederation affiliated organizations. The champion of the Asia-Pacific Amateur will receive an invitation to compete in the Masters Tournament at Augusta National Golf Club as well as an exemption into The Open the following year. The runner(s)-up will also gain a place in Final Qualifying for The Open.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Designed by Robert Trent Jones Jr. and opened in 2019, the links-style Hoiana Shores Golf Club offers seaside views of the South China Sea and nearby Cham Islands.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<\/p>\r\n\r\n
The region\u2019s first championship links course was built along more than two kilometers of beachfront dunes. Situated just south of Hoi An, a UNESCO World Heritage Site known as the \u201cCity of Lanterns,\u201d the venue fittingly uses red basket lanterns rather than traditional flags on each hole. <\/p>\r\n\r\n<\/p>\r\n\r\n
The par-71 course previously hosted the Women\u2019s Amateur Asia-Pacific in 2025 and was named the world\u2019s best new golf course in 2020 by the World Golf Awards. <\/p>\r\n\r\n<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cAll of us at Hoiana Shores Golf Club are thrilled to welcome the 2027 Asia-Pacific Amateur Championship,\u201d said Wee Peng Siong, Vice President, Golf, of Hoiana Shores Golf Club. \u201cGolf in Vietnam is on the rise, and we are honoured to serve as host for the first time this Championship is held in Vietnam. Our beautiful links-style venue will be a perfect test for the best amateurs from here in Vietnam and across the Asia-Pacific region.\u201d<\/p>\r\n\r\n<\/p>\r\n\r\n
