Vietnam Golf & Country Club (East)

Overview: The East Course at Vietnam Golf & Country Club is one half of the 36-hole facility serving Ho Chi Minh City, with Lee Trevino’s routing offering a more open contrast to the older West Course. The East is listed at 18 holes, par 72 and 6,946 yards from the gold tees. Its fairways are generally more generous, but the course protects the scoring areas with bunkers, water and undulating Bermuda TifDwarf greens. That balance gives the round a welcoming first impression without removing the need for accurate approaches.

History: Vietnam Golf & Country Club was first established in 1994, and the East Course opened in September 1997. It was designed as the newer companion to the West Course, creating a two-course club close to the city rather than a standalone suburban layout. The East’s modern design philosophy remains visible in the wider corridors and differentiated green complexes, while the club’s long tournament history has helped make the facility an established part of southern Vietnam golf.

Did You Know? The official East Course scorecard gives the front nine a par of 36 and the back nine another 36, but the hole sequence is varied, with par fives, par threes and demanding par fours changing position throughout the round. The club specifically points to the combination of well-placed bunkers, water hazards and rolling TifDwarf greens, so the apparent width of the fairways should not be mistaken for a lack of strategic pressure.
