UPCOMING • NOT YET PLAYED

SOUTHERN VIETNAM 2027

We're going back. After playing five of Vietnam's best courses in Da Nang, Hoi An and Hanoi, the four of us are heading south to find out whether Southern Vietnam can beat the golf we discovered in Central and Northern Vietnam.

The Mission

5–7
Golf Courses
8–12
Days
4
Kiwi Golfers
South
Vietnam

Same crew, same honest-review approach, new region. Central and North Vietnam gave us five completely different courses and not one letdown. We want to know if the South — Ho Chi Minh City's course density, the Ho Tram coast, the Phan Thiet dunes — can match it.

What We Want To Find Out

  1. Is Southern Vietnam the best golf destination in Vietnam?
  2. Which course is our favourite?
  3. Which offers the best value?
  4. Which course would we travel back to play?
  5. How does Southern Vietnam compare with the courses we played in Central and Northern Vietnam?
  6. What does an 8–12 day Southern Vietnam golf trip actually cost a Kiwi?

On The Shortlist

Nothing here is confirmed. This is our research list so far — the courses and regions we're looking at as we plan the route.

Ho Chi Minh City
Vietnam's biggest concentration of courses, including the long-established Vietnam Golf & Country Club
Ho Tram
Home to The Bluffs Ho Tram Strip, a Greg Norman links design that hosted the Ho Tram Open
Phan Thiet
Sea Links Golf & Country Club's dune-carved links, plus the newer Greg Norman-designed PGA NovaWorld
Vung Tau
Chau Duc Sonadezi, another Greg Norman design, a short run from Ho Chi Minh City
Long An
Royal Long An Golf & Villas — a newer resort-style addition south-west of the city
Mui Ne
Coastal resort town near Phan Thiet, likely a base rather than a golf stop on its own

We haven't played any of these — this list comes from research, not experience. Once we book and play them, they'll get the same treatment as Ba Na Hills, Laguna and the rest: honest reviews, real costs, no sugar-coating.

Dates aren't locked in yet. When they are, this page — and the journal — will be the first place it shows up.
