In recent years, Vietnam has been considered one of the most attractive golf tourism destinations. From North to South, a series of golf courses are designed by big stars in the golf industry. This makes Vietnam a favorite name, included in the list of dream golf destinations of professional golfers.
The Bluffs Ho Tram Strip has been a significant contributor to the national golf tourism industry. Considered one of the best golf courses in Vietnam, The Bluffs was designed by legendary Australian golfer Greg Norman (currently Vietnam Tourism Ambassador) and is located among vast natural sand dunes along the coast near Ho Chi Minh City. The course has continuously won many awards and certifications in recent years.
The Bluffs Ho Tram Strip was named “World’s Best New Golf Course” at the 2015 World Golf Awards. In 2017, Vietnam’s leading golf and tourism organizations voted it “Vietnam’s Best Golf Course.” The Bluffs Ho Tram Strip once again affirmed its class when it was ranked 35th in Golf Digest’s list of “100 Best Golf Courses in the World” and was also “Vietnam’s Best Golf Course.”
These achievements have helped attract the attention of golfers around the world. In addition, the luxurious 541-room hotel complex The Grand Ho Tram Strip is also rated as one of the best golf hotels in the region.
Situated along a stunning 2.2km beach less than two hours drive from Ho Chi Minh City, The Grand is further distinguished by a casino with up to 90 table games and 500 slot machines, 13 food and beverage outlets, a relaxing spa with a wide range of services for golfers, three swimming pools and other high-end shopping outlets.
Opposite the 5-star integrated resort The Grand, The Bluffs Golf Course is easily reminiscent of a unique golf experience in the southwest of Ireland thanks to its stunning natural landscape created by sand dunes along the coast.
“We are honored to be part of the growing golf tourism industry in Vietnam,” said Gary Dixon, General Manager of The Bluffs Ho Tram Strip. “We are fortunate to have both a great golf course and a world-class resort that enhances the ultimate golf experience for our guests.”
Opened in 2014, The Bluffs officially marked its place on the world golf map when it successfully hosted the $1.5 million Asian Tour Ho Tram Open in 2015, which saw Sergio Garcia crowned champion. The Ho Tram Open was also voted “Event of the Year” by Asian Tour members.
“The recognition from the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism is a testament to what we have been striving for since day one, which is to become a world-class tourism destination. If an achievement like this can help promote Vietnam as a world-class golf tourism destination, we will wholeheartedly strive for that ideal,” Mr. Dixon added.
The Bluffs Ho Tram Strip is located in the Ho Tram beach area, 120 km southeast of Ho Chi Minh City - the largest commercial center in Vietnam. Less than two hours by car will take guests to The Bluffs Golf Course, located opposite The Grand Ho Tram Strip complex, part of phase 1 of the Ho Tram Strip project. The 18-hole, Par 71 golf course designed by legendary golfer Greg Norman is built on a prime geographical location with natural sand dunes, wonderful sea views and primeval forests, creating a challenging traditional links-style golf course.
