Vietnam Golf & Country Club

Course Overview
 Unlike many newer golf developments in Vietnam, Vietnam Golf & Country Club has matured gracefully over three decades, imparting an established atmosphere that modern courses rarely replicate. Towering hardwood trees, mature palms, natural water hazards, and carefully contoured fairways combine to create a peaceful setting while presenting a rewarding test of golf.

 The venue features a 36-hole championship layout split into two distinct courses, allowing golfers to enjoy varied playing experiences on repeat visits. Rather than relying on dramatic elevation changes, both layouts challenge players through thoughtful design, strategic bunkering, and well-protected greens. Every hole encourages careful club selection, accurate positioning from the tee, and a disciplined approach into the putting surfaces.

 Consistently maintained fairways and smooth, true-rolling Bermuda greens are among the club's greatest hallmarks. Combined with experienced caddies and reliable year-round conditioning, Vietnam Golf & Country Club delivers a classic championship experience that appeals equally to leisure golfers, club members, and corporate groups.

Course Design & Playing Experience

• West Course (18 Holes): Designed by Taiwanese architect Chen King Shih and opened in 1994, the West Course offers a traditional Asian parkland layout. The narrow fairways are carved through dense forests of mature hardwoods and palm trees, placing a high premium on tee-shot accuracy and strategy. Its undulating Bermuda greens demand precise approach shots and subtle touch around the pin . The West Course famously hosted the Vietnam Open (Asian PGA Tour) in 1995 and 1997.
• East Course (18 Holes): Designed by 6-time Major champion Lee Trevino and opened in 1997, the East Course delivers a modern, open parkland design. While fairways are slightly wider than on the West Course, Trevino defended the layout with over 110 strategic bunkers and cleverly placed water hazards. Fast, undulating greens test even the most skilled putters, making it a thrilling risk-reward course. The East Course hosted the Vietnam Hana Bank Masters (Asian Tour) in 2008.

Multiple tee boxes across all 36 holes ensure that both courses remain accessible and enjoyable for recreational golfers while presenting a genuine test for low-handicap players.

Best Time to Play
 Golf is available year-round in Southern Vietnam. The dry season, running from November through April, offers the most stable and pleasant playing conditions with warm sunshine and gentle breezes.

 Morning tee times are ideal for enjoying cooler temperatures, while early afternoon rounds allow players to complete 18 holes before sunset. During the wet season (May to October), tropical afternoon showers are common but typically brief, quickly giving way to clear skies and fresh playing surfaces.

Nearby Attractions

 Thanks to its location on the eastern side of Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam Golf & Country Club can easily be combined with some of Southern Vietnam's most popular attractions. After a morning round, visitors may explore iconic landmarks in the city centre, including the Independence Palace, Notre Dame Cathedral, Saigon Central Post Office, War Remnants Museum, and the lively Ben Thanh Market.

 For those with additional time, a half-day excursion to the historic Cu Chi Tunnels offers fascinating insight into Vietnam's wartime history, while a full-day trip to the Mekong Delta provides a completely different experience, with scenic waterways, traditional villages, floating markets, and local orchards. These destinations make it easy to combine championship golf with some of Southern Vietnam's most memorable cultural and natural attractions.
