Hoiana Resort & Golf CEO Expresses Pride

Hoi An, Vietnam: Hoiana Resort & Golf Chief Executive Officer Alan Teo has expressed his pride at the Vietnamese venue being selected to host the 2027 Asia-Pacific Amateur Championship (AAC).

It was announced at last week’s 17th edition of the AAC in New Zealand that Hoiana Shores Golf Club’s award-winning Robert Trent Jones Jr-designed course will stage next year’s showpiece championship from October 28-31.

Hoiana representatives Aylwin Tai, Chief Strategy Officer, and Wee Peng Siong, General Manager, were present at the announcement and were pictured with executives from the Asia-Pacific Golf Confederation (APGC), Masters Tournament and The R&A, the AAC’s three Founding Partners.

Teo said: “It is a great honour for Hoiana Shores Golf Club to be selected as the first venue in Vietnam to host the Asia-Pacific Amateur Championship.

“On behalf of Hoiana, I would like to thank the Asia-Pacific Golf Confederation, The R&A and Augusta National Golf Club for placing their confidence in us once again following the success of the women’s championship we hosted in 2025, as well as the Vietnam Golf Association and our local authorities for their support.

“Most of all, thank you to our Hoiana team – the greenkeepers, golf operations, hotel, F&B and every colleague behind the scenes. Your dedication made 2025 a success and earned us this opportunity. I know you will make 2027 just as memorable for the players, officials and fans who join us.

“We look forward to welcoming the Asia-Pacific’s finest amateur golfers to Hoiana next October.”

Hoiana Shores Golf Club was thrust into the spotlight last year when it acted as host to the Women’s Amateur Asia-Pacific – the female equivalent of the AAC. The championship was won by Malaysian Jeneath Wong with the course and associated facilities receiving rave reviews.
