Design of Vietnam Golf & Country Club

(site of competitions on the Vietnam Masters Asian Tour)

One of the closest golf clubs to the city center is Vietnam Golf & Country Club, which is situated about 17 kilometers away.  Two championship golf courses are part of the 300 hectares of property that make up Vietnam Golf & Country Club. Both routes traverse mature trees with little change in the landscape. The layout and style of the golf course at Vietnam Golf & Country Club give visitors the impression that it was always going to be a golf course.

The 7,106-yard West Course at Vietnam Golf & Country Club, which has been in play since November 1995, has quick, level greens and tight, tree-lined fairways. The Vietnam Open Asian PGA Tour competitions were held on the par-72 title course in 1995 and 1997.

The course runs through primarily oil palm trees and has difficult tee shots and constrained landing spaces. A single tree stands alone in the middle of the fairway on a few holes. All year long, Bermuda Tifeagle greens offer stunning putting surfaces. The West Course’s championship length contributes to its difficulty. Only golfers with a single-digit handicap should use the back tees. This course may make for a very lengthy day of golf, even from the ordinary men’s tees, especially if drives are off-target.

The eleventh hole is among the greatest. The 408-yard par four has a left dogleg. To see the green, the tee shot must clear the woods on the left. The second shot must contend with a large tree in the middle of the fairway and bunkers on each side of the green. An approach shot has to have some spin on it to maintain the slightly raised, shallow, and wide green.

The 6,946-yard East Course is the club’s second course and is located there.  The East Course, which was created by Lee Trevino and debuted in 1997, features larger fairways than the West Course but also has 110 strategically placed bunkers, water hazards, and undulating, quick-rolling Bermuda Tifdwarf greens. Even an experienced tour pro will hesitate before “going for it” since the layout is so difficult. Many careless golfers have met their demise on the East Course’s sloping greens. Golfers must play wisely and set up strong approaches to provide reasonably straight putts, although on these greens, it is easier to say than to execute. The golfer’s putting abilities have frequently determined whether a side bet is won or lost.

Services at Vietnam Golf & Country Club

As a private club, the clubhouse is large and well-maintained. Japanese showers and dry and wet saunas are available in the spacious locker and changing rooms as a wonderful treat after any round. A wide variety of foods are available at the two clubhouse restaurants, with the local Vietnamese noodle soups coming highly recommended. The pro store is one of the best in Vietnam, with a fantastic assortment of golf clothes, new and used equipment, and the newest balls and gloves.

Vietnam Golf & Country Club is nominally a private golf club, giving residents and foreigners preference, however guest reservations are accepted on weekdays when the course is least busy. For a day of golfing in Saigon, both the East and West Courses are excellent options.
