Open since November 1995, the 7,106-yard West Course at Vietnam Golf & Country Club features narrow tree-lined fairways and fast smooth greens. The Par 72 Championship Course hosted the Vietnam Open (Asian PGA Tour Event) in both 1995 and 1997. The course winds its way through the trees offering challenging tee shots to the tree lined fairways before playing to the softly contoured Bermuda Tifeagle greens, which provide beautiful putting surfaces all year round.

The West Course’s difficulty lies in its championship length. Only single-digit handicap players are permitted to play off the Gold Tees and even from the normal men’s tees, this course can provide a very long afternoon to golfers of all abilities if their drives are not on target.

Song Be Golf Resort was Vietnam’s first international championship golf course and is widely regarded as one of the most challenging layouts in the country. The golf resort was built in 1994 out of the natural landscape of fruit orchards and coconut palms. In 1995 the Song Be golf course was officially rated in accordance with the USGA/SGA requirements.

The 18 hole resort style layout features 10 lakes. As Song Be translates as “little river”, a tributary of the Mekong, it is unsurprising that water comes into play in eight of the 18 holes. with a challenging tee-shot between two lakes at the tenth. Mature tree lined fairways with undulating greens add to the overall golf course difficulty.

Playing off from the blue tees is a challenge as the total length measures over 7000 yards. Song Be is a walking course and all the caddies are female. Golf carts are available for one of two golfers. A fully equipped and modern club house provides golfers with excellent ocean and sand dune views to enjoy the golf course and facilities after their round.

Located 50km from Ho Chi Minh City. Water is in play on the Dong Nai golf course’s first five holes as well as seven of the back nine. The signature third hole, a par 3, 165 yard wonder, plays to an island green with stunning scenery and abundant wildlife around the lake backdrop.

Other excellent holes at the Bo Chang Dong Nai golf course include the 395 yard tenth and the 535 yard eleventh; both of which require careful approach shots either to lay up or to carry water in front of the greens. Similarly, the fifteenth, a 405-yard left-handed dogleg, also has a green guarded by water in front. In addition to the well designed golf course, Bo Chang Dong Nai Golf Resort offers many other activities such as horseback riding, fishing, a children’s playground area, full spa sauna and massage facilities, and several international, Vietnamese and Chinese restaurants.
