we are starting to do a lot of business in Vietnam....I have no idea if there are any decent courses there...lets see!


danang seems to be the place to go!

2 nice courses by the looks of it. i have only heard great things about it.

otherwise after living in asia for a while is that the quality of golf is quite good but also expensive.

enjoey asia.


I will be playing 3 courses in the Ho Chi Minh area (Song Be Golf Resort, Vietnam Golf & CC, and Long Thanh GC) in early March as part of a 15 golf package to Vietnam & Thailand. We will also play 7 Thai courses in Pattaya and Bangkok areas. Played previously in Thailand in 2001. Will report on Vietnam golf when I return late in March. Might possibly get a round in Japan on the way back as I will be there for 2 nights.

Chipper, i think you had better carry a big bag of money for Japanese green fees.  Last time i looked $US200 was the minimum. 9 holes.


Last month, I was golfing with my buddy and his two pals, both vets from the 60's, and someone remarked on the beat up fairways. One of the guys then brought up a funny war story (he only talks about the lighter moments) about calling in artillery on a French plantation after hearing shots.  Kaboom. Kaboom. Followed by a radio message from the C.O. "What the hell you doing! There's a golf course there!", and when the smoke cleared, there had been a small one.

Vietnam have only 28 Golf Course, 13 Course in North, 4 courses in Central and 14 Course on South. May be you can play golf in Saigon with Long Thanh Golf Resort, Vietnam Golf Country Club or Song Be Golf Resort

    • I don't think anyone will really care.   It's your call.  Just be consistent.
    • I agree, until we are watching the 18th hole in the dark or waiting for the champion to finish and it's been 5+ hours
    • Question for the group. The course I normally play at has 27 holes - 3 9s that they use to for 18 in the various combinations. Is it okay to declare* if I’m playing front or back when I play 9 on this course? I’m figuring I need to declare before I play a shot. *meaning just say to myself that this is the back 9. Curious what people think. Of course, my only holes left are 13 and 17, so I’m going to declare the back 9 for the rest of the year. Probably only one or two more rounds though. 
    • This is my opinion as well. I would love to see the LPGA take the lead on this.    This.
    • I agree in general. The one way in which the viewer will notice the pace of play is just that "it's been an hour and Nelly Korda or Scottie Scheffler have only played four holes." Or if for some reason they show a lot of shots of players just standing around when they could be showing golf shots. But I think Andy Johnson said it most recently/best, playing fast is a skill, too. I would love for pro golfers to play faster. You'd see the players you want to see hit more shots in the same time than they do now. So I don't disagree with the pace of play stuff, and hope they can find ways to do it. Heck, the LPGA should leap at the chance to differentiate itself in this way, IMO. So: I stand by what I said in that the TV viewer really doesn't notice much about pace of play. It's rare when they do. I support increasing the pace of play wholeheartedly. But my top five reasons don't include TV ratings or viewership.
