Faldo’s routing through dunes, boulders and working rice paddies.
Destination imageryRon Fream’s 7,617-yard dune course on a bluff above Mui Ne bay, with two island par threes.

Sea Links sits on a bluff of white dunes at Km9 on Nguyen Thong road, the coast road that runs from Phan Thiet out to Mui Ne. It is the older of the area’s two big golf venues and the one closest to the kitesurfing beaches and seafood restaurants of Mui Ne, about ten minutes away. The course looks down over the South China Sea and Mui Ne bay, so most holes come with a view of water. It suits a golfer who wants a relaxed beach base and a single tough round rather than a full resort week.
Sea Links does not run an online tee sheet, so you book by phone or through an agent. The resort website lists a golf promotion at ₫1,950,000 (reduced from ₫2,100,000) that you claim by ringing the golf hotline on 0943 336 333; the page does not say what that price covers, so ask whether caddie and cart are included. Booking site GOVI Golf lists inbound-visitor rounds at ₫2,160,000 on weekdays and ₫3,130,000 at weekends, both with a caddie and half a shared cart, and its cancellation is free up to six days before play. Golfasian also confirms tee times and can add transfers from Mui Ne hotels. Where2Golf notes that visitors are welcome on any day but must book in advance.

Ron Fream and his firm Golfplan laid the course over about 160 hectares of dune-covered bluff, keeping much of the original white sand in play. Golfasian and GOVI Golf both date the opening to 2008, while Where2Golf gives 2006. From the back tees it measures 7,617 yards at par 72, which is a long card for a site this exposed. The style is mostly links in feel, with big undulations across fairways and greens, but Fream added modern touches: elaborate bunkering, raised greens, long par fives and two island par threes. The resort’s own site calls it the most challenging golf course in Asia, and Golfasian repeats the billing of the toughest links-style layout in the region. The wind off the bay is the real defence on a dry-season afternoon.
Sea Links fits neatly into a Mui Ne beach holiday: play early, then spend the afternoon on the beach or at the dunes. If you are building a golf week, pair it with the two NovaWorld courses south of Phan Thiet and stay somewhere between them. Ask the hotline for a morning slot so that you are finished before the afternoon wind builds. Take plenty of balls if you play from the back: the island par threes and the dune carries punish a miss. Carry dong in cash for the caddie, as the tip sits outside every agent price.
Ho Chi Minh City’s Tan Son Nhat airport (SGN) is about 200 km away. The expressway to Phan Thiet, opened in 2023, has shortened the drive; Golfasian still quotes about four hours from Saigon, and three to four is a fair planning figure depending on traffic. Trains also run from Saigon to Phan Thiet. From Phan Thiet town the club is about 20 minutes by road, and from Mui Ne about ten.

The resort lists the 188-room Sea Links Beach Hotel and 315 villas set within the golf course, though Golfasian notes that the complex is used mainly for corporate groups. Most holiday golfers prefer one of the smaller beachfront resorts along Mui Ne’s main strip, where restaurants and bars are within walking distance. Phan Thiet town itself has cheaper business hotels and is a little closer to the NovaWorld courses.
PGA NovaWorld Phan Thiet, with its Greg Norman Ocean and Garden courses, lies south of Phan Thiet; Golfasian puts it about 45 minutes from Mui Ne, close enough for a three-round trip with Sea Links. Off the course, the red and white sand dunes of Mui Ne are best at sunrise, the Fairy Stream is a short barefoot walk through red sandstone gullies, and the fishing harbour fills with round basket boats in the early morning. Fresh seafood grills line the road into Mui Ne.
This stretch of coast is one of the driest in Vietnam. The best golf runs from about November to April, when rain is rare. From December to March a strong north-east wind blows most afternoons, which is why Mui Ne is a kitesurfing centre. The wet season, roughly May to October, brings short tropical downpours and higher humidity.

About ten minutes by taxi. The club is at Km9 on Nguyen Thong road, between Phan Thiet and the Mui Ne resort strip, and around 20 minutes from Phan Thiet town.
Ron Fream and Golfplan. They kept the site’s natural white dunes and added island par threes, raised greens and heavily contoured putting surfaces. The back tees measure 7,617 yards at par 72.
