Overview
Ho Chi Minh City & Mekong Delta Golf Itinerary
Your driver meets you at Tan Son Nhat International Airport (SGN) and takes you to your hotel. The evening is free for a first look around District 1.
Drive west toward the delta for Royal Long An Golf & Country Club, Nick Faldo’s design that opened in November 2023: 18 holes, par 72, 7,233 yards across flat, open land where the wind and water shape the strategy.
No golf today. A private car and local guide take you into the Mekong Delta, about two hours from the city, for a boat ride along the canals, fruit orchards, coconut workshops and lunch by the river, back in Saigon by evening.
Back to the west side of the city for West Lakes Golf & Villas in Long An, Thomson Perrett’s 2018 par 72 of about 7,100 yards, where water comes into play on every hole.
Check out and play a morning round at Tan Son Nhat Golf Course, 36 holes by Nelson & Haworth about 25–30 minutes by road from the airport terminal, then go straight to your flight.

Two newer courses on the road to the delta
Royal Long An and West Lakes both sit west of Ho Chi Minh City, on the way toward the Mekong Delta, so the golf and the river day share the same direction. Putting the Mekong day between the two longer drives gives your legs a rest, and Tan Son Nhat keeps the last morning close to the airport.
Options people add
- Overnight in the delta: Stay one night in the Mekong Delta instead of returning to Saigon on day 3.
- Swap a course: Song Be Golf Resort or Vietnam Golf & Country Club can replace West Lakes for a shorter drive.

Best Time for Golf and the Mekong Delta
December to April, the dry season, is the best time for this tour: the courses play firm and the river trip is dry and comfortable. From about May to November, storms usually arrive in the afternoon, so we start golf early and keep the boat ride to the morning.
