How to Choose Golf Courses in Ho Chi Minh City

Ho Chi Minh City Golf Courses at a Glance

For broader destination context, see the official Vietnam Tourism golf overview . Course choice in Ho Chi Minh City should be based on hotel location and traffic as much as course reputation.

1. Tan Son Nhat Golf Course

Tan Son Nhat Golf Course is the most convenient option for many short-stay visitors because it is close to the airport and central districts. Its multiple nines, large clubhouse and floodlighting make it suitable for business travelers and golfers with limited daylight hours.

Choose Tan Son Nhat if you have one free round between flights or meetings. Allow extra road time during peak periods even though the course is geographically close to the city center.

2. Vietnam Golf & Country Club

Vietnam Golf & Country Club in Thu Duc provides a mature, tree-lined setting with two distinct layouts. It suits golfers who prefer strategic parkland play and a more established club atmosphere.

Choose this course for a classic golf day within the metropolitan area. Confirm pickup time with the local operator because traffic toward Thu Duc can change the journey length.

3. Vinpearl Golf Leman Cu Chi

Vinpearl Golf Leman Cu Chi offers a quieter environment northwest of the city. Water features and well-maintained fairways create a modern championship experience away from the dense urban center.

This course works well for golfers who have a full day available and want to combine golf with attractions in the Cu Chi area. It is less suitable for a tightly scheduled business trip.

4. Long Thanh Golf Club

Long Thanh Golf Club is located in neighboring Dong Nai and offers parkland and lake-style golf. Elevated views and varied terrain make it a popular regional option.

Treat Long Thanh as a half- or full-day excursion. Departure time should account for traffic beyond the city boundary and the group's hotel location.

Which Course Should You Choose?

• One short city stay: Tan Son Nhat.

• Classic championship golf: Vietnam Golf & Country Club.

• A quieter suburban round: Vinpearl Golf Leman Cu Chi.

• A scenic regional day trip: Long Thanh Golf Club.

If the trip is tour-led rather than course-led, read the Saigon golf tours guide. Package options are also available on the Ho Chi Minh golf holidays page .

Suggested Golf Itineraries

Two days, one round

Stay in a central district and play Tan Son Nhat. This keeps transport manageable and leaves time for city activities.

Four days, two rounds

Combine Tan Son Nhat with Vietnam Golf & Country Club or Long Thanh. The second course adds contrast without creating an overly dense schedule.

Six days, three rounds

Play one urban course, one suburban or regional course, and add a coastal round in Ho Tram if the group wants a stay-and-play extension.
