Vietnam - Asia's rising star

Vietnam is rapidly becoming recognized as one of Southeast Asia's hidden gems, providing travelers with an exciting opportunity to discover its rich culture, stunning landscapes, and lively traditions.

A land of shimmering terraced rice fields, pristine sandy beaches, breathtaking landscapes and modern bustling cities, Vietnam delivers one of the world’s most delicious and diverse gastronomies. Despite its history of an extended French occupation, and devastating wars, the Vietnamese are a proud people with a deep and rich cultural heritage. The country has one of the fastest growing economies in the area and is undergoing rapid change: air access has become easier than ever, roads are continuously being upgraded, hotels and resorts are springing up in destinations across the country as foreign investment increases. Not to be discounted is the Vietnamese entrepreneurial spirit which is a driving force behind this success. 

There’s an unimaginable array of things to see and experience countrywide. Starting with Hanoi in the north, renowned worldwide for being a peaceful, welcoming and inexpensive capital. On the other hand, in the south, modern day Ho Chi Minh City (Saigon) is on the fast track with towering skyscrapers with the hustle and bustle you’d expect to find in Bangkok or Kuala Lumpur. In between lies a tapestry of soaring mountains, fertile deltas, misty forests inhabited by exotic flora and fauna, pristine beaches, waterfalls, rock formations and caves. Vietnam has a centuries-old history and culture of ancient architectures, religions and cults, traditional festivals and an authentic way of life. Vietnam has been recognized as one of the most secure and welcoming countries on the globe.

At Danang Golf Club, Greg Norman has created a wonderful and authentic links golf course which was voted as one of the best new courses in the world and it certainly lives up to its billing.

The development of new golf courses continues in Vietnam and we have an exciting new addition in Long An Province called West Lakes Golf and Villas.
The golf course is situated to the west of Ho Chi Minh city and takes a little over an hour to reach. However, there is plenty of accommodation available closer to the golf course should you wish to stay outside the city.

An enjoyable links style experience somewhat off the beaten track.
Whilst it's a fairly lengthy drive from the city to Vung Tau Paradise Golf Resort, those willing to take the trip to the seaside will be rewarded with a 27 holes of links style championship golf on one of Vietnam's least played courses.

Twin Doves Golf Club in Ho Chi Minh is a 27-hole layout about one hour from downtown Saigon which has been designed to blend with the natural terrain. The course at Twin Doves Golf Club is still maturing so not too many trees and the course relies on the many water hazards and bunkers for protection.

Silk Path Dong Trieu Golf & Country Club features a 27-hole championship course designed by Sir Nick Faldo. The club includes an 18-hole championship course and a 9-hole par-three course, catering to golfers of all skill levels.

The fairways and greens are well-maintained with premium grasses, and the course includes a variety of Par 3s, Par 4s, and Par 5s. The club also offers luxurious accommodations, modern facilities, including a driving range, swing studios, and a clubhouse with dining and relaxation areas.

Van Lang Empire Golf Club, designed by legendary golfer Greg Norman, is a stunning 36-hole course located in Phu Tho Province, Vietnam. Opened in late 2024, the club spans 168 hectares and features two distinct courses—The Prime and The Legend—each blending seamlessly with the region’s natural terrain, including palm forests and tea hills. The design pays homage to Vietnam’s cultural heritage, incorporating legendary tales such as Son Tinh - Thuy Tinh and the legacy of the Hung Kings. With world-class infrastructure and a focus on sustainability and community, Van Lang Empire Golf Club offers a truly immersive and memorable golfing experience.

Amber Hills Golf & Resort, situated in Tien Phong commune within the Yen Dung district of Bac Giang province, is a premier destination just a 50-kilometer drive from Hanoi. It boasts Vietnam's top-notch golf course and offers luxurious resort accommodations.
Spanning across an expansive 190 hectares, the golf course features 36 holes, developed in two phases. The first phase introduced the 18-hole Hillside course, which has been operational since August 2017, while the second phase will soon bring the 18-hole Rock Valley course to life.
