Vietnam Golf Getaway
Most golfing visitors to Vietnam are overwhelmed by the sublime beauty of the country’s natural setting: the Red River Delta in the north, the Mekong Delta in the south and almost the entire coastal strip are a patchwork of brilliant green rice paddies tended by workers in conical hats.
Recently, Vietnam was named as the “Undiscovered Golf Destination of the Year” by the International Association of Golf Travel Operators (IAGTO). With its fascinating history, ancient culture, superb climate, and now its offering of fantastic championship golf courses designed for the golfer on and off the course.
At present, there are over 20 golf courses in Vietnam, with more than 30 projects at some stage of construction. Among the existing golf courses in Vietnam, there are four 36-hole courses such as Vietnam Country Club, Long Thanh Golf Club and Song Be Golf Club in Ho Chi Minh City and King’s Island Golf Club, Chi Linh Star Golf & Country Club in the North, four 18-hole courses and one 9-hole courses.
