Vietnam Golf & Country Club

Rating

Long Binh Ward, Ho Chi Minh City

⛳ Vietnam Golf & Country Club — Vietnam’s first 36-hole golf destination, a Southern golf icon featuring the woodland-style West Course by Chen King Shih (1994) and the modern East Course by Lee Trevino (1997). Located in Thu Duc City, just 17–20 km from central Ho Chi Minh City.

Vietnam Golf & Country Club (VGCC) is the cradle of modern golf in Vietnam and a two-time runner-up for Best Golf Course in Asia. Spread across 300 hectares of mature woodland, it delivers two contrasting experiences: the calm, tree-lined West Course and the dramatic East Course with 110 bunkers and undulating greens. Lakeview Villas and country club facilities complete the stay-and-play appeal.

Location

Vietnam Golf & Country Club is located in Long Thanh My, Thu Duc City, Ho Chi Minh City. It remains the closest full 36-hole golf complex to the city center, giving it a major advantage for business travelers and short golf getaways.

The club is around 17–20 km from District 1 (roughly 35–45 minutes by car depending on traffic) and about 20 km from Tan Son Nhat International Airport (45–60 minutes). This “city golf” positioning makes VGCC especially convenient for executives, expats, and weekend golfers in southern Vietnam.

Design & Architecture

VGCC combines two distinct 18-hole layouts across 300 hectares of mature natural woodland. The result is a rare golf destination where traditional parkland calm and modern tournament strategy coexist in one property.

West Course — opened in 1994–1995 and designed by Taiwanese architect Chen King Shih with a classic lay-of-the-land philosophy. It is defined by narrow fairways, mature oil trees, and precise positioning rather than heavy bunker defense.

East Course — opened in September 1997 and designed by golf legend Lee Trevino. This modern layout offers wider landing areas but punishes misses with 110 strategically placed bunkers, water hazards, and tiered greens that demand elite short-game control.

Tips & Strategy

These tips will help you enjoy both championship layouts at this historic club:

1. Choose the right course for your game

West Course suits players who enjoy precision, shaping shots, and classic tree-lined golf. East Course is better for golfers confident in bunker play, wedge control, and reading complex greens.

2. Prioritize accuracy on West Course

The tight fairways and mature woodland punish loose tee shots. Even a small miss can leave you blocked by trees, so club down if needed and play for position.

3. Respect the greens on East Course

The tiered TifDwarf greens are fast and heavily contoured. Your goal is not just hitting the green, but landing on the correct section to avoid long, defensive putts.

4. Book an early tee time

Morning slots between 6:00 and 7:30 are ideal for cooler weather and smoother pace of play. Arrive at least 30 minutes early to warm up on the 20-bay range.

5. Watch West Course Hole 11 closely

This signature par 4 plays as a demanding dogleg left. A well-placed drive is essential to open the angle, and the shallow green requires spin and distance control on approach.

6. Turn it into a Stay & Play trip

If you are visiting from outside Ho Chi Minh City, stay one or two nights at Lakeview Villas and play both courses. You can also combine VGCC with Long Thanh Golf Resort or Tan Son Nhat Golf Course for a complete golf trip.

FAQ

Here are the questions golfers most often ask before booking Vietnam Golf & Country Club.

Do I need to book Vietnam Golf & Country Club in advance?

Yes, advance booking is strongly recommended, ideally 3–7 days ahead. The club operates on a semi-private model, so visitor tee times can be limited, especially on weekends. Booking via WinGolf gives you fast confirmation and competitive rates.

Does the green fee include caddie and buggy?

Yes, the reference rate usually includes green fee, caddie, and a shared buggy. If you want a private buggy, a surcharge may apply. Please confirm the exact package with WinGolf when booking.

Can I rent clubs and shoes at VGCC?

Yes, club and shoe rentals are available. Club rental is around 1,000,000 VND per set and shoes are about 400,000 VND. Frequent golfers should still bring their own equipment for the best feel and setup.

What is the dress code at Vietnam Golf & Country Club?

Standard golf attire is required: collared shirts or premium golf tops, proper golf shorts or trousers, and soft-spike golf shoes. T-shirts, jeans, sandals, and regular sneakers are not allowed on the course.

What is the cancellation or tee-time change policy?

Cancellations made more than 7 days in advance are usually free of charge, while late cancellations may incur 50–100% fees depending on the club’s current policy. WinGolf can help adjust your booking if you contact us early.

How long does it take to drive from Ho Chi Minh City?

Usually 35–45 minutes from District 1 depending on traffic. From Tan Son Nhat Airport, travel time is generally 45–60 minutes. It is one of the most convenient championship golf clubs for golfers staying in the city.

Is Vietnam Golf & Country Club suitable for beginners?

Yes, beginners can still enjoy the club thanks to multiple tee options. Higher-handicap players should choose the forward tees and may find West Course more approachable from shorter markers, while East Course remains the sterner challenge.

Signature Holes

Hole 11 — West Course (Par 4, 408 yards)

The signature hole of West Course, this dogleg-left par 4 demands a committed tee shot to open the angle. Even from the fairway, the approach is complicated by a large tree in the line of play and bunkers guarding the green on both sides.

Hole 18 — East Course (Par 5)

A dramatic finishing par 5 with strategic bunkering and water around the green. Long hitters can attack, but only if they control their landing zones precisely.

Hole 7 — East Course (Par 3)

A visually striking par 3 where bunkers and water frame a multi-tiered green. Club selection and exact distance control matter far more than aggression here.

Awards & Recognition

VGCC was twice named runner-up for Best Golf Course in Asia, reflecting its long-term quality in course conditioning, design, and service. The club also hosted the Vietnam Open on the Asian PGA Tour in 1995 and 1997, and later welcomed the Vietnam Hana Bank Masters in 2008 on the East Course.

Golfer Reviews

"Playing West Course feels like walking through a mature forest — tight lines, calm atmosphere, and excellent caddies who know every slope. The Japanese-style locker room after the round was a great touch."

— Minh T., Ho Chi Minh City · March 2025

"Lee Trevino’s East Course is a real tactical test — 110 bunkers and rolling greens keep you focused on every shot. Playing a course that hosted the Asian Tour feels special."

— James K., Singapore · January 2025
