Royal Long An is the course on the Saigon circuit with the most famous name attached to it. Sir Nick Faldo attended the grand opening in November 2023, when the first 18 holes of a planned 27 were declared open. It lies about 50 km west of Ho Chi Minh City in Duc Hue, now part of Tay Ninh province after the 2025 merger of Long An. The country is flat, rural and quiet, and the weekday green fee is lower than at most of the city’s better-known clubs.

Agents are the usual route, because the club’s own website was not loading when this guide was checked. Golfasian confirms tee times on request and can add transfers. GoVi Golf sells Tuesday-to-Friday 18-hole rounds and an unlimited-holes weekday plan, both with caddie, half a shared cart and a meal. Golfasian says groups are capped at four and the course is open every day from 06:00 to 18:00, and it lists a golf cart at US$50 if you want one to yourself. Agent prices are quoted per player, and weekend rounds cost more, so give your agent exact dates.

The round, in perspective.
Faldo Design described the site as a true blank slate, so the course was built from the ground up. Construction began just before international travel closed in 2020, and the team kept working remotely through the pandemic. An integrated lake system catches storm and rainwater for irrigation and lifts the playing surfaces, so the course stays playable through the wet season. Lakes and bunkering are the main defences, and extra trees were planted to give the open holes more shape. The course measures 7,233 yards from the back tees and 5,424 from the forward tees, at par 72. A third nine, with more water than the first 18 and expected to be tougher, was in final design at the opening, with construction due to start in 2024.

Make the trip work.
The unlimited-holes weekday plan is the reason to make the trip: once you have driven an hour, adding a second loop costs little more. Ask whether the third nine is open, as reports differ. The clubhouse is large, at more than 3,000 square metres, with a restaurant, pro shop and locker rooms, and there is a 400-yard range and a short-game area, so you can warm up properly. Bring sun protection; there is little shade on the young course.
The course is about 50 km from District 1 by road; agents list the address on the N2 highway in the former Binh Hoa Nam commune of Duc Hue, so plan on well over an hour each way. Tan Son Nhat International Airport (SGN) is the nearest airport. Golfasian mentions a complimentary shuttle from Ho Chi Minh City, so ask the club or your agent when you book.
Most golfers make this a day trip from District 1, or from Phu My Hung in District 7, the international neighbourhood in the south of the city, which has good hotels. The resort’s villas were part of the development plan; ask when booking whether any are let to visitors.
Make a trip of it.
West Lakes Golf & Villas is also in the former Long An province, and the two together make a full day in the countryside. Vinpearl Golf Léman in Cu Chi is the other new course on the city’s western side. Off the course, the Mekong Delta towns of My Tho and Ben Tre are within reach to the south for a rest day.
Find your season.
The lake system was designed for the wet season, so this course holds up better than most from May to November. The best weather is still December to April. Expect strong sun on the young, open course.
Sir Nick Faldo’s firm, Faldo Design. Faldo attended the grand opening in November 2023, when the first 18 holes opened. It is par 72 and 7,233 yards from the back tees, with a third nine planned.
How far is Royal Long An from Ho Chi Minh City?
About 50 km west of the city centre, in Duc Hue. The address is now in Tay Ninh province, because Long An was merged into Tay Ninh in 2025. Plan on more than an hour by car.
