What Is West Lakes Golf & Villas Like to Play?

As the name says, lakes define the round. Water borders most fairways and several greens, including an island green, so club selection and a steady nerve matter more than raw distance.

The front nine is the wider of the two and the back nine asks tougher questions. Zeon zoysia fairways give a tight, firm lie that better players enjoy.

How Do You Get to West Lakes Golf & Villas?

West Lakes was the first 18-hole course west of the city. Allow about an hour from District 1. It pairs well with Royal Long An for a two-day western loop.

GoGolfVietnam, a local golf tour operator in Vietnam, books the tee time and a private transfer together, so the drive is already planned into the day.
