⛳ Song Be Golf Resort — Vietnam's first championship golf course (1994), featuring 27 holes across 104 hectares with three distinctive 9-hole courses: Lotus, Palm, and Desert. A legendary destination combining heritage, technical challenge, and resort amenities in Binh Duong.
Song Be Golf Resort is a historic icon of Vietnamese golf, recognized by the USGA and SGA. With 27 diverse holes across 104 hectares, the resort offers experiences ranging from the poetic lotus lake scenery (Lotus) to the unique desert challenge (Desert). An integrated hotel, golf academy, and restaurant create a comprehensive destination for golfers and families.
Location
Song Be Golf Resort is located at 77 Binh Duong Boulevard, Lai Thieu Ward, Thuan An City, Binh Duong Province. Its position on the border between Ho Chi Minh City and Binh Duong offers unmatched transportation advantages.
The course is approximately 20–22 km from District 1, HCMC (40–50 minutes by car) and only 15–20 km from Tan Son Nhat International Airport, making it extremely convenient for international golf tourists. The resort faces VSIP 1 Industrial Park directly — home to thousands of foreign experts, providing a steady stream of potential members.
Design & Architecture
Designed by architect Barry Humphrey and the International Golf Construction Co team with a philosophy of maximum respect for nature. Rather than completely restructuring the terrain, they utilized the existing coconut palms and long-standing fruit orchards of Lai Thieu to create a golf course with a strong tropical character.
The 27-hole system is divided into three distinct 9-hole courses, each with a completely different design style. The Desert/Lotus combination from the Black Tee reaches 7,062 yards with a Slope Rating of 133 — a challenge even for professional golfers.

Tips & Strategy
Here are practical tips to help you conquer the 27 diverse holes at this historic course:
1. Choose the Right Course Combination for Your Skill Level
The Lotus + Palm combination suits golfers looking for a relaxed round with lotus lake scenery and palm trees. Desert + Lotus is the championship choice at 7,062 yards with a Slope of 133 — reserved for golfers with solid technique.
2. Read the Greens Carefully on Desert Course
The greens on Desert Course are rated as "tricky" with many hidden slopes. Spend extra time studying the ball roll from multiple angles before putting.
3. Fairway Strategy — Accuracy Over Distance
Palm Course has very narrow fairways and Desert Course has extensive waste areas. Prioritize accuracy over distance, especially on Hole 1 Palm (dogleg left over water) and Hole 9 Desert (Par 5, 555 yards).
4. Best Tee Times
Book early morning (6:00–7:30 AM) to avoid the Binh Duong heat. Arrive at least 30 minutes before your tee time to warm up at the 220-meter driving range.
5. Bring Enough Balls
With 14 lakes and numerous waste areas, bring at least 9–12 balls for 18 holes, especially when playing a combination that includes Desert Course.
6. Combine with Nearby Courses
If traveling from afar, consider staying at the on-site hotel and playing all three 9-hole courses over two days. You can also visit Harmonie Golf Park or Twin Doves Golf Club nearby for a complete Binh Duong golf tour.

What is the cancellation policy for tee times?
Cancellations 10+ days in advance incur no fee; cancellations within 10 days may be charged 100% depending on the policy at the time. WinGolf offers flexible rescheduling — contact us as early as possible if you need to make changes.
How long does it take to drive from Ho Chi Minh City?
Approximately 40–50 minutes by car (20–22 km from District 1 center), depending on traffic. From Tan Son Nhat Airport it's only 15–20 km. The resort is located directly on Binh Duong Boulevard (National Highway 13), making it very easy to find.
Is Song Be suitable for beginner golfers?
Yes, thanks to three 9-hole courses with varying difficulty. Beginners should choose the Lotus + Palm combination for a more relaxed experience. Desert Course requires higher technique and may pressure newcomers. Multiple tee boxes (Blue, White, Red) suit all skill levels.
Signature Holes
Hole 9 — Desert Course (Par 5, 555 yards)
The most memorable hole on Desert Course, with a fairway running alongside vast desert wastelands. Players must carefully consider club selection to keep their ball safe. Although landing in a waste area doesn't incur a penalty like water, recovering from the loose sand surface requires masterful technique.
Hole 1 — Palm Course (Par 4)
A fascinating dogleg-left Par 4. Players must execute a precise tee shot over a large lake. A safe shot to the right leaves a longer approach, while an aggressive shot to the left risks finding the water or deep bunkers.
Hole 5 — Lotus Course (Par 3, 180 yards)
The most beautiful Par 3 on Lotus Course, with a green surrounded by brilliant lotus lakes. The scenery is a psychological trap — water appears on most sides, requiring extreme focus and distance control.
Awards & Recognition
Vietnam's first championship golf course recognized by the United States Golf Association (USGA) and Singapore Golf Association (SGA). In 2024, Song Be Golf Resort signed a strategic partnership with the Vietnam Golf Association (VGA Tour) to become an official training and tournament venue. The resort also regularly hosts the Song Be Golf Fair, attracting top golf equipment brands.
Golfer Reviews
