West Lakes Golf & Villas
Set amidst the rural charm of Long An province, just an hour’s drive from Ho Chi Minh City, West Lakes Golf & Villas stands as one of southern Vietnam’s most modern golf destinations. Designed by renowned golf design firm IMG, this 18-hole championship course blends international-standard layout with picturesque natural surroundings and is especially notable as the first golf course in southern Vietnam to offer full-scale night golf.
