Ho Chi Minh City is the commercial heart and new soul of modern Vietnam. The bustling streets teem with markets, shops, pavement cafes, stands and street vendors. Being so close to sea level the tropical weather conditions will make you think that you are golfing in Florida. The dryer winter months draw the heavier crowds so you may want to book your tee times early. The Vietnamese have become serious about their golf and offer top-notch courses surrounding the area within 35 to 90 minutes.
Located 120 km away by road from Ho Chi Minh City is Vung Tau, another city that offers great golf and premier beaches with 12 miles of soft sand and calm waters. A more convenient way is to take a hydrofoil which will only take you 80 minutes to reach the resort town. The travel is amazingly smooth and promises a lot of scenery up to the South China Sea.
