Destination imageryVietnam’s first 36-hole club: a woodland West course and Lee Trevino’s lakeside East.

Vietnam Golf & Country Club is the senior club of Ho Chi Minh City. It was founded in 1994, became the first 36-hole club in the country, and staged the Vietnam Open in its early years and an Asian Tour event in 2008. It is semi-private, but it takes visitors on both courses and runs a dedicated bookings desk. The setting is a 300-hectare woodland estate on the eastern edge of the city, about 20 km from the centre, with the Lakeview Villas set around the clubhouse. Come for the history and for two courses that play very differently.
Book through the club’s bookings team by email at bookings@vietnamgolfcc.com or on the hotline +84 938 568 899. The online tee-sheet on the website sits behind the member login, so visitors normally email. The club publishes a rain-check policy and posts course closures for maintenance and tournaments on its events calendar, which is worth checking before you fix a date. The rate card on the club’s site dates from 2022, so ask for current prices in writing. Agents such as GoVi Golf and Golfasian also book tee times and usually bundle the caddie and a half share of a cart.
As listed by GoVi Golf in November 2026: inbound-visitor rate for Tuesday to Friday tee times after 3.30pm, with caddie, half a shared cart and a meal; early and midday tee times are ₫2,870,000 with lunch buffet. The club’s own online rate card dates from 2022.

The original, designed by the Taiwanese architect Chen King Shih and opened in the mid-1990s. It is a traditional tree-lined woodland course with narrow fairways and flat, quick greens. It hosted the Vietnam Open the year after it opened and again in 1997, and it is the course that rewards a straight driver over a long one.
Six-time major champion Lee Trevino designed the East, which opened in 1997. The fairways are more generous than the West’s, but the club cites well-placed bunkers, numerous lakes and elevated, undulating Bermuda greens as its defence. It was the venue when the Asian Tour returned to Vietnam for the 2008 Vietnam Hana Bank Masters.
The two par-72 layouts were built three years apart by very different designers.
If you can play only one, choose the course that suits your game. The West punishes a crooked tee shot; the East gives you room but asks more of your approach play. Weekday rounds are much better value, and agents list their keenest prices from Tuesday to Friday. The clubhouse restaurant serves international food, so lunch between nines is easy.
The clubhouse is at No. 18, Street 2 in Long Binh ward, in the Thu Duc area about 20 km east of the city centre, reached on the Hanoi Highway. The club puts its villas 30 minutes from downtown, and evening rush hour can stretch that. Tan Son Nhat International Airport (SGN) is a similar distance across the city.

The club’s Lakeview Villas sit inside the estate and are offered on a stay-and-play basis, which is the only way to wake up beside the first tee. Otherwise stay in District 1, or in Thao Dien and Thu Thiem on the eastern side of the river, two cosmopolitan districts east of the Saigon River that cut the drive.
Long Thanh Golf Club is about 8 km further east in a straight line, across the Dong Nai River, so the two make an obvious pair of days. Tan Son Nhat’s floodlit nines are good for an evening round back in the city. Away from golf, the riverside cafés of Thao Dien and the Saigon River ferry from Bach Dang pier make a relaxed afternoon.
Plan for December to April if you can. The south’s rainy season runs from May to November, and its heavy afternoon showers suit morning tee times. March and April are the hottest weeks, so start early then.
Explore golf by monthYes. It is a semi-private members’ club, but non-members can book either course by emailing the bookings desk or through golf agents. Weekday tee times are the easiest to secure, and agents publish their Tuesday-to-Friday plans.
The East, by Lee Trevino, is the more modern test, with water and raised greens, and it hosted the 2008 Asian Tour event. The West is older, tighter and tree-lined, and it staged the Vietnam Open in the 1990s. Both are par 72.
In November 2026 GoVi Golf listed Tuesday-to-Friday visitor rounds from ₫2,660,000 after 3.30pm and ₫2,870,000 earlier in the day, including the caddie, half a shared cart and a meal. Weekends cost more.
