An 18-hole championship golf course, West Lakes Golf & Villas, debuted in 2018. The area west of Ho Chi Minh City has never had a golf course before.
Peter Thomson, the founder of Thomson Perrett and a five-time British Open champion, popularized the West Lakes course. The 7100-yard course’s highlights include stunning lakes on nearly every hole, wavy fairways, creative bunkering, and the names Thomson Perrett and the regional implementation team have put on it.
One of the first golf courses in South Vietnam to use Zeon Zoysia grassed fairways, which are very simple to hit off, is West Lakes Golf & Villas. The Bermuda grass used on the greens is of the Tifeagle variety, which creates smooth, quick-moving putting surfaces. The top-notch condition of the grass will be appreciated by golfers of all skill levels. Professional golf courses are designed based on inspiration from the sea with undulating wavy lines. The fairway impresses all golfers by its soft, winding beauty next to the bunkers arranged harmoniously but also quite interesting, stimulating the desire to conquer of players.
Wide fairways and landing places set the tone for the first nine. More challenging and entertaining holes may be found on the back nine. At West Lakes, intentionally laying up short of the fairway and greenside bunker complexes is the key to excellent score. Golfers who are patient will reap the benefits, whereas aggressive hitters will have a lengthy day.
The clubhouse is connected to a sizable grass driving range, where golfers may practice while being seen from the main restaurant. The restaurant serves foods from the West, Korea, Japan, China, and Vietnam, as well as other fast food and fine dining alternatives. The clubhouse is completed with opulent locker rooms with jacuzzis, a fully equipped pro shop, and a bar. The F&B options at West Lakes are completed with on-course kiosks at holes #1, #6, and #14.
West Lakes is a great choice for golfers seeking a top-notch Saigon golfing experience.
