⛳ Dong Nai Golf Resort — A premier 27-hole Parkland course set on the banks of Song May Lake, designed by renowned architect Ward W. Northrup and one of the most historic and respected golf clubs in Southern Vietnam.
Opened in 1997 with 18 holes and expanded to 27 in 2002, Dong Nai Golf Resort (also known as Trang Bom Golf Course) offers a pure golf experience amid unspoiled nature across ~300 hectares, just a 60-minute drive from Ho Chi Minh City.
📍 Location
Dong Nai Golf Resort is located on National Highway 1A, Trang Bom Town, Trang Bom District, Dong Nai Province — at the heart of the Southern Vietnam economic golden triangle. With excellent road connections via Hanoi Highway and the Ho Chi Minh City – Long Thanh – Dau Giay Expressway, the course is easily accessible from multiple directions.
- 🚗 From Ho Chi Minh City center: ~50 km, approx. 60 minutes by car
- ✈️ From Tan Son Nhat International Airport: ~55 km, convenient for international golfers
- 🛣️ Main routes: National Highway 1A, HCMC – Long Thanh – Dau Giay Expressway
- 🏞️ Natural highlight: Adjacent to Song May Lake spanning over 1,000 hectares
The drive through lush rubber plantations creates a perfect mental transition, helping players leave urban stress behind before entering the serene golf environment.
🏌️ Design & Architecture
Designed by architect Ward W. Northrup, Dong Nai Golf Resort follows a philosophy of absolute respect for natural terrain. It is a classic Parkland Course — characterized by sweeping fairways through valleys, surrounded by forests and lakes, creating a secluded and private atmosphere.
The full 27 holes are divided into three 9-hole zones (A, B, and C), allowing flexible 18-hole combinations. Each zone presents its own unique challenge:
- Zone A — Elevation Challenge: Large elevation changes between tee and green; long fairways demand powerful and accurate tee shots.
- Zone B — Wild Beauty: Winding fairways through pine and rubber forests with a Links-style feel and mature tree-lined corridors.
- Zone C — Scenic Waters: A harmonious blend of valleys and waterways; the zone with the most dangerous water hazards.
The greens at Dong Nai are rated "fast and true" — demanding excellent green-reading skills and precise speed control. The long-established bunkers are deep and strategically placed at blind spots, adding significant tactical tests.

💡 Tips & Strategy
1. Mentally prepare for the Signature Hole 3 (Island Green)
This iconic Par 3 requires a precise tee shot from an elevated tee to a green sitting on its own island in Song May Lake. Choose the right club, maintain your breathing rhythm, and avoid swinging too hard. A bunker shot from the surrounding sand is always better than a water penalty.
2. Read the greens carefully before every putt
The greens at Dong Nai are fast and true. Spend an extra 30 seconds observing the slope, grain direction, and speed with your caddy — this can save you 2–3 strokes per round.
3. Adjust your stance on undulating fairways
With plenty of undulating terrain, you will rarely find a perfectly flat lie. Focus on a stable stance and adjust your shoulder and hip alignment to ensure a square clubface at impact.
4. Book early morning tee times to avoid delays
Weekends can get busy with rounds stretching beyond 5 hours. A 6:00–7:30 AM tee time lets you enjoy the coolest weather and maintain a smooth pace of play.
5. Carry extra balls in Zones A and C
Zone A features deep bunkers and elevation changes, while Zone C has numerous water hazards. We recommend bringing at least 6–9 spare balls for an 18-hole round, especially if you are a mid-to-high handicapper.
6. Take advantage of Stay & Play packages
With 70+ hotel rooms and villas on site, a 2-day/1-night golf + stay package is excellent value. Combo rates are typically more affordable than booking separately and let you fully enjoy the resort atmosphere.

How long is the drive from Ho Chi Minh City?

Is Dong Nai Golf Resort suitable for beginners and high-handicap golfers?
Yes, with some considerations. The course offers multiple tee boxes ranging from Championship to Ladies. However, deep bunkers and water hazards in Zone C require focus. Beginners are advised to play from the Amateur or Ladies tees with an experienced caddy.
⭐ Signature Hole — Hole 3 (Zone A)
Hole 3 is the crown jewel of Dong Nai Golf Resort — a stunning Par 3 featuring a world-class Island Green design. The tee shot must carry from an elevated tee to a green completely surrounded by Song May Lake.
Any miscalculation in distance or direction can send your ball into the water, creating immense psychological pressure. But when that perfect shot lands softly on the green, the sense of accomplishment is unmatched. This is a hole every golfer visiting Southern Vietnam should experience at least once.
💬 Golfer Reviews
"The scenery around Song May Lake is breathtaking, and the course is so quiet you only hear birds and golf shots. The caddies here are incredibly knowledgeable — they saved me at least 5 strokes."
"I really enjoyed the Stay & Play package here. The villa was clean, the Korean restaurant was excellent, and I could walk straight to the tee box in the morning without driving. Will definitely return."
