Introduction:
"The Long Thanh Golf Club is considered as being the best golf course in Vietnam" from the poll organized by Vietnam National Administration of Tourism and The Vietnam Golf Magazine. Highly appreciated, the Long Thanh Golf Club enjoys frequent visits from loyal Members, Guests and Visitors for years. The Club is situated 40 minutes far from the center of Saigon on the Vung Tau spur road. We currently offer a 36-holes golf course and are pleased to welcome amateurs and professional golf players. Each course offers panoramic views over the surrounding countryside to Saigon in the west and rural landscape. Long Thanh Golf Club and Residential Estate is a Vietnamese, family owned business.
Location:
At present, there are 36 holes open for play. Each hole has its own characteristic shape and unique view that offers a wide variety and separate challenge to both novice and professional.
Fairways are lined with beautiful oil palm trees and other similar species. The emphasis being on evergreen is to keep the course in pristine condition throughout the year.
Paspalum fairways and tees are surrounding Tifdwarf greens. The rough is cut to a short length so that ball-searching could be kept to a minimum.
Featuring rolling fairways and large undulating greens, with many bunkers and water hazards to catch errant shots; the Long Thanh Golf Club is the epitome of golf in Asia.
We are really excited regarding the design by the internationally renowned Golfplan Company. They are tougher 18 holes than the other two loops which were built on a former rice paddy field. It features water on virtually every hole. Again we have the rolling fairways, deep-faced bunkers and pure variety, but the emphasis for the golfer this time is on accuracy. It will provide our players with a whole new set of challenges, but with many tees it will be eminently playable for even the shorter hitters!
