Taekwang Jeongsan Country Club
18 holes par 72 (7395 yards)
Resort course on a private island in the Saigon River
Taekwang Jeongsan Country Club is located on its island in the Saigon River. Travel to the Ho Chi Minh City golf course requires golfers to venture out of the city on Vietnam’s main north-south highway and take a ferry across the Saigon River. It takes around 90 minutes to reach the golf course from the central hotel districts in Ho Chi Minh City. A shorter route is to charter a private speedboat taxi up to the river. Many boat taxis leave from the port near the Saigon Zoo. (see below)
The 18-hole Korean-owned course design was by Golfplan – Dale & Ramsey Golf Course Architects from the USA. The out and back layout is typical of top resort courses. The tips stretch out to 7395 yards, but there are forward tees for those looking for a more relaxed round of golf.
Heavy bunkering on most holes of this otherwise flattish land adds interest and enjoyment throughout the golf course and poses challenges even for professional golfers. Wall-to-wall Paspalum grassed fairways, greens, and tees ensure plush conditions and favorable ball lies.
The front nine plays along the river afford some excellent views to the right of several holes. Holes 9 and 18 are the two signature holes, with 9 being a long par-4 and 18 being a dogleg par-5. Both play right to the clubhouse, so make sure to play the correct green. Both holes share a bunker between the number 9 green (left) and number 18 green (right). Playing on the Out (Sun Course) and In (Moon Course) ends up a very overall enjoyable day out golfing in Saigon.
The large clubhouse forms the anchor for residential and commercial areas, which are off to the side of the Jeongsan course. Inside the clubhouse, golfers will find elegant locker rooms with spa facilities, two restaurants serving local and Korean favorites, and a well-stocked pro shop.
Insider's Tip: For Ho Chi Minh City golf visitors, there is a speedboat service from the pier in District 1. The service is very convenient and cuts the commute time to Jeongsan by only 30 minutes. Book this service and golf at Jeongsan Country Club will be better than using the highway and public car ferry.
