Best Dong Nai Golf Courses for 2026/2027

Dong Nai sits at the eastern gateway of Ho Chi Minh City, and for golfers based in the south it’s one of the most practical day-trip destinations in the region. Long Thanh Golf Club is about 40 minutes from the city — close enough for an early morning round without an overnight stay, far enough to feel like you’ve actually left.

As of July 2025, the former Binh Phuoc Province has merged with Dong Nai to form the new, expanded Dong Nai Province. The courses, the Dong Nai River views, and Cat Tien National Park remain exactly where they were.

Long Thanh Golf Club is the most established of the area’s courses — a 36-hole layout that uses the gentle hill terrain and riverside scenery of the Dong Nai River to good effect. The design has enough character to make the round interesting without being punishing, and the views across the river valley from the elevated holes give the course a setting that’s genuinely hard to find this close to Ho Chi Minh City.

Dong Nai Golf Resort brings 27 holes built into green hills and shaded forest terrain. The natural environment does most of the heavy lifting — the layout winds through tree cover and over undulating ground in a way that keeps the round feeling less manufactured than a flat parkland course. Facilities are solid, and the setting alone makes it worth the short drive from the city.

The combination of golf and nature is the main draw here. Cat Tien National Park, one of the few remaining lowland tropical forests in southern Vietnam and a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve, is within the broader Dong Nai region and makes the area worth more than a single-day visit. Local river fish, forest produce, and the slower pace of the Dong Nai countryside give the stop its own character beyond the golf.
