Local insight for your swing

If you’re in Ho Chi Minh City and want a quick golf fix without the long drives, try heading to Long Thanh just outside the city. Locals pick it because the course stays in good condition year-round and tends not to get overly crowded during weekday afternoons. Also, if you’re visiting Central Vietnam, bring light rain gear for the afternoons in the rainy season but don’t let that stop you from teeing off in the morning , the courses dry out quickly and the views over the hills are worth it. Playing early is a common local trick to avoid the midday heat and afternoon clouds.
