Best Ho Chi Minh City Golf Courses for 2026/2027

Ho Chi Minh City has always had a strong golf scene. Since the July 2025 administrative merger that absorbed the former Binh Duong and Ba Ria – Vung Tau Provinces into the expanded municipality, it now has one of the largest and most varied golf portfolios of any city in Southeast Asia — 13 courses across a range of settings, distances from the city centre, and price points.

For golfers based downtown, Tan Son Nhat Golf Course is the most convenient option. Sitting adjacent to Tan Son Nhat Airport, the 36-hole layout is the only course in Vietnam where you can watch commercial aircraft land on final approach while playing your back nine. It’s a genuinely unusual experience, and the course itself is well maintained and accessible to all skill levels.

Vietnam Golf & Country Club, now located in what was the District 9 area, is one of the oldest courses in the country and one of the few that has consistently hosted international tournaments. Two 18-hole layouts surrounded by mature greenery and a members-club atmosphere give it a character that newer resort builds can’t easily replicate.

With the expanded city boundaries, golfers now also have easier access to courses that previously required a separate road trip — layouts in what was Binh Duong, the coastal tracks near what was Vung Tau, and everything in between. The city’s golf footprint now covers everything from quick urban rounds to full resort experiences along the coast.

Off the course, Ho Chi Minh City delivers in ways that most golf destinations don’t. The Independence Palace, Ben Thanh Market, the Saigon Opera House, and a food scene built around banh mi, hu tieu noodles, and iced ca phe sua da — the kind of city that makes non-golfing travel companions genuinely happy to tag along.
