Description

 Located a mere twenty kilometers north of Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam's first international-standard golf course opened to wide acclaim in 1994, and was given an official rating from the USPGA in September 1995. At over 7,000 yards at its longest, the course at Song Be winds its way between palm trees, lakes and stunning open vistas, providing golfers of all levels of skill with an enjoyable though challenging round.

The par-72 resort-style course was designed by Peter Dalketh Scott, and is renowned as one of the country's toughest. Successful play requires a combination of skill and concentration, with beautiful landscapes belying the testing nature of the 18 holes. The mostly flat, Bermuda fairways tend to stifle much of the bounce and roll of the ball, so distance needs to be found in the air. As Song Be translates as "little river", a tributary of the Mekong, it is unsurprising that water features regularly around the course, with a challenging tee-shot between two lakes at the tenth.
