Saigon Golf Package

The West Course, a Taiwanese masterpiece, presents a classic test of golf at 7,106 yards, with its narrow, tree-lined fairways demanding accuracy from the tee. Its fast, level greens are a true test of putting prowess, a characteristic that has seen it proudly host the Vietnam Open Asian PGA Tour events. While its championship length provides a significant challenge, even for single-digit handicappers from the back tees, the course is playable and rewarding for all skill levels from the regular tees. The iconic 11th hole, a demanding 408-yard par-4 dogleg, exemplifies the strategic thinking required, with its well-placed hazards and elevated green, promising an unforgettable golfing highlight for every visitor.

Complementing the West Course, the 6,946-yard East Course, designed by the legendary Lee Trevino and opened in 1997, offers a different yet equally captivating challenge. While its fairways are more forgiving, the East Course boasts 110 strategically placed bunkers and inviting water hazards, all leading to undulating, fast-rolling Bermuda greens that have humbled many a seasoned player. After a rewarding day on either course, the spacious clubhouse awaits. Indulge in the comfort of the well-appointed locker rooms, complete with Japanese showers and rejuvenating dry and wet saunas. Savor delicious local Vietnamese noodle soups in one of the club's two excellent restaurants, and browse the pro shop, one of the best-stocked in Vietnam, for all your golfing needs. Golfers are warmly invited to experience the unique charm and challenge of Vietnam Golf & Country Club.

The Luna Course is characterized by its gentle hills, fruit orchards, and surrounding forests. Its design incorporates natural mounds and landforms that create intriguing challenges, with rolling hills connecting five of the holes. The tree-lined fairways add an element of precision to each round.

The Mare Course stands out with its natural beauty, featuring creeks and tree-lined fairways that demand accuracy. Narrow fairways and multi-tiered greens, often guarded by water hazards, make strategic shot-making essential for a rewarding game. This course is known for its dynamic play and engaging layout.

The Sole Course offers a unique configuration with an island green, beach bunkers, and a picturesque blue lake. Its unconventional routing includes seven par-4s, a single par-3, and one par-5, presenting a distinctive challenge. The natural water hazards and visual appeal make it a captivating choice for adventurous golfers.

Facilities at Twin Doves are top-notch, featuring luxury locker rooms, extensive practice areas, and a well-stocked pro shop. The international restaurant offers a diverse menu with a focus on Korean cuisine, served in both open-air and air-conditioned settings. With accessible weekday tee times and competitive green fees, Twin Doves Golf Club is an excellent addition to any Ho Chi Minh City golf itinerary.

The course is divided into four nines, each providing a distinct challenge. Course A is situated in a developing area with future accommodations, while Courses B, C, and D begin at the clubhouse. Courses C and D demand precision off the tee, whereas A and B require strategic play. Notably, the par-5 holes are long and often play into the wind, while the par-3s offer scoring opportunities if you avoid the greenside bunkers.

Standout holes include the strategic par-4 sixth on Course A and the challenging par-3 fifth on Course D, which plays over water. The clubhouse, one of the largest in Asia, offers a variety of dining options, specializing in Korean cuisine. Night golf is available, providing a unique way to enjoy the game under the stars.

Facilities include a pro shop, driving range, and excellent practice areas. Managed under the Vietnam Ministry of Defense, the course provides a professional atmosphere with caddies who are attentive and helpful. Tan Son Nhat Golf Course is a must-visit for those golfing in Saigon, combining convenience with a memorable golfing experience.

The Hill and Lake courses are well maintained throughout the year, and the golf courses are a longtime favorite among locals. Many expatriates and Vietnam golf visitors prefer Long Thanh Golf Club over its more famous neighbor, Vietnam Golf & Country Club.

The Hill Course features rolling fairways and large undulating greens. Large oil palms frame each hole. The Lake Course has many high-lipped bunkers and water hazards on almost every hole to catch errant shots. Both courses feature Paspalum grassed fairways and tee boxes. Putting greens use Tifdwarf Bermuda grass, which can roll from 8 to 10. This combination of grasses matches other top courses in the region. The rough at Long Thanh is cut relatively short and poses no real challenge.

All 36 holes have their character shape, and this wide variety makes for good challenges for serious amateurs and professional golfers. Higher handicappers might prefer the Lake Course, however, which is relatively flatter.

Hole 4, a par-3 on the Hill Course, is the signature hole and features two equally good greens. Both require accurate tee shots, as there are out-of-bounds over the putting surface. The shorter putting area is possibly even more complicated, surrounded by the 'Great Wall of Long Thanh. ' Club selection is of prime importance, as there is water guarding the front and a rock face behind the green. The 4th is a once-seen, never-forgotten hole.

Another great hole at Long Thanh is the par-5, 14th hole on Hill Course. The longer you hit the ball, the tighter the fairway gets. If you can't reach the green in two shots, the lay-up shot requires absolute accuracy, as there are out-of-bounds on the right and a lake on the left. There are frequently some big scores on this hole.

The Lake and Hill Courses are walking courses with optional single or shared golf carts. The caddies, 50% of whom are male, are excellent, as most are long-standing employees at Long Thanh, and some are even single handicappers.

The Long Thanh Golf Club and Residential Estate have also spared no expense to build an elaborate clubhouse. The locker and changing rooms might be the plushest in Saigon. Ask for a shoe shine after your round. The pro shop is adequate but often only stocked with a limited selection of merchandise. The main restaurant serves a fine selection of Vietnamese and Western food for golfers after their rounds in both indoor and outdoor settings. However, it might be better if the restaurant were more centrally located to take advantage of the excellent views of the Saigon skyline.

Overall, golf at Long Thanh is an impressive experience and will surely please all Vietnam golfers.
