Overview
Saigon Golf Weekend Itinerary
Land at Tan Son Nhat International Airport (SGN), meet your driver and check in. If your flight arrives early, a late-afternoon nine holes at Tan Son Nhat can be arranged on request; otherwise the evening is yours.
Drive north into Binh Duong for Song Be Golf Resort, the 1994 course where golf around Saigon began. Its 27 holes, the Lotus, Palm and Desert nines by Barry Humphrey, run between mature trees that frame most fairways and reward a straight tee shot. For a shorter drive, Vietnam Golf & Country Club, about 20 km from District 1 with 36 holes, can replace Song Be on request.
A morning round at Tan Son Nhat Golf Course, 36 holes beside the city airport, about 25–30 minutes by road from the airport terminal. Change at the clubhouse and your driver takes you straight to departures.

Why Song Be and Tan Son Nhat
On a two-night trip, time in the car is time not spent golfing. Song Be is just north of the city rather than across a river or out in the provinces, and Tan Son Nhat is beside the airport, so neither day starts with a long drive. That leaves the evenings for Dong Khoi, the river and dinner.

Best Time for a Golf Weekend in Saigon
For a weekend trip, December to April is the easiest window: in the dry season you are unlikely to lose a round to rain. In the wet months, roughly May to November, storms tend to come in the afternoon, so book morning tee times.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. How many days do I need for a Saigon golf weekend?›
Three days and two nights is enough for two rounds. You arrive on day 1, play Song Be Golf Resort on day 2 and Tan Son Nhat on the morning of day 3 before your flight.
2. Can I play golf on the day I fly home?›
Yes. Tan Son Nhat Golf Course is beside the airport, about 25–30 minutes by road from the airport terminal, so a morning round on day 3 fits before an afternoon or evening flight.
3. Is Song Be Golf Resort worth playing?›
Song Be opened in 1994 and is the oldest course around Ho Chi Minh City, with 27 holes across three nines. It is a mature, tree-lined course and a good contrast to the newer layouts.
4. Are caddies and carts included?›
Yes. A caddie and a golf cart are mandatory at both courses and both are included. Caddie tips are paid separately.
5. Can I play nine holes on the arrival day?›
If your flight lands early, we can arrange nine holes at Tan Son Nhat on day 1 on request. Ask when you book so we can check tee times.
6. Which hotel is better for a short trip?›
Hotel Grand Saigon puts you on Dong Khoi street in the old centre, and Le Méridien Saigon gives you the river and a rooftop pool. Both are central, so the drive to either course is the same.
