DAY 2: VIETNAM GOLF & COUNTRY CLUB (B)
Wake up to the sunshine of Saigon and head 20km outside of the bustling city to Vietnam Golf & Country Club, the first 36-hole golf club in Vietnam. Set amongst 300 hectares of woodland, there are two courses to choose to play on; the west course was established in 1994 by Taiwanese architect Chen King Shih and hosted the Vietnam Open (Asian PGA Tour Event) in 1995 and 1997, while the east course, designed by six-time Major Champion winner Lee Trevino, opened in 1997. It has long been recognized as Vietnam’s premier golf club and was voted as one of Asia’s best golf courses.

During certain times of the year, the high sea winds wreak havoc, offering an exciting challenge for even the most seasoned golfers. The signature 4th hole treats players to a spectacular 360-degree view of the course itself along with lush surrounding forests and the expansive Vietnamese coast. Greg Norman put it best when he said “the Bluffs is one of the most special golf experiences in the world”.
