Sonadezi Chau Duc Golf Course is one of the newer courses within reach of Ho Chi Minh City, set in rolling country inland from Vung Tau. It belongs to Sonadezi, the industrial-park developer, opened for play in 2022 and was formally inaugurated on 18 November 2023 with a tournament for more than 200 golfers. It sits about 90 minutes from Saigon and roughly half an hour from the beaches of Vung Tau, so it slots neatly into a weekend on the coast or a trip that also takes in The Bluffs at Ho Tram.
Sonadezi Chau Duc Golf Course green fees and tee times.
There is no English booking page and no rate card online, so most visitors book through agents. Booking site GOVI Golf lists inbound-visitor rounds at ₫2,280,000 on weekdays and ₫3,590,000 at weekends, each including a caddie, half a shared cart and a meal, with free cancellation up to six days before play. Golfasian confirms tee times for groups of up to four and can arrange transfers from Saigon or Vung Tau. Because sources disagree on whether both 18s are open, ask which course you will play when you confirm.

The round, in perspective.
Greg Norman Golf Course Design laid out the golf on about 152 hectares inside Sonadezi’s 2,287-hectare industrial and urban project. The opening report describes 36 holes, an 18-hole Resort Course and an 18-hole Tournament Course, and GOVI Golf also lists 36; Golfasian still shows only the Resort Course, at 6,917 yards, par 72, and calls the second 18 planned. The ground is fairly flat, but a line of rises and dips runs north to south, and winding streams, lakes and bunkers create the hazards. Newly planted trees frame many holes. It is a parkland round, a contrast with the dunes at Ho Tram.

Make the trip work.
Most golfers combine Chau Duc with a night or two in Vung Tau or at Ho Tram. Play Chau Duc on the way down from Saigon, then The Bluffs the next morning. Book a car and driver for the day, as public transport does not reach the course. The clubhouse restaurant serves Vietnamese and international dishes, and agent prices already include a meal. The weekday rate on GOVI is ₫1,310,000 lower than the weekend one, and a weekday also means quieter roads for the drive back.
Central Ho Chi Minh City is about 90 minutes by road via the expressway towards Vung Tau; allow a little longer from Tan Son Nhat airport (SGN). Vung Tau city is around 30 minutes away. Fast boats run from central Saigon to Vung Tau, which some golfers use before a short taxi to the course.
There is no hotel at the course. Vung Tau has beachfront hotels on Bai Sau (Back Beach) and Bai Truoc (Front Beach). Ho Tram and Ho Coc, further east along the coast, have quieter beach resorts, including those of the Ho Tram Strip next to The Bluffs. Golfers on a short trip can also play it as a day out from Saigon.
Make a trip of it.
The Bluffs Ho Tram Strip, Greg Norman’s dunes course on the coast, makes the obvious partner. Vung Tau Paradise Golf Resort, a 27-hole course by the city’s back beach, adds a third. In Vung Tau, the 32-metre Christ statue on Small Mountain looks over the bay, and the seafood restaurants along the waterfront are a good end to the day. Ho Coc beach and its nature reserve suit a rest day.
Find your season.
Southern Vietnam has two seasons. December to April is dry, with the most comfortable conditions from December to February; March and April are hot. The wet season runs from about May to November, usually with a heavy afternoon storm, so morning tee times are the safe choice.
In Suoi Nghe commune, Chau Duc, inland from Vung Tau, in what was Ba Ria–Vung Tau province (merged into Ho Chi Minh City in 2025). It is about 90 minutes by road from central Saigon and around 30 minutes from Vung Tau.
