The Bluffs Ho Tram Strip was honored for its contribution to the development of golf in Vietnam.

In recent years, Vietnam has been recognized as one of the most attractive golf tourism destinations. From North to South, numerous golf courses have been designed by big stars in the golf industry. This has made Vietnam a favorite, and it has been included on the list of dream golf destinations for professional golfers.

The Bluffs Ho Tram Strip has made a significant contribution to the national golf tourism industry. Rated as one of the best golf courses in Vietnam, The Bluffs was designed by legendary Australian golfer Greg Norman (currently Vietnam's Tourism Ambassador) and is situated amidst vast natural sand dunes along the coast near Ho Chi Minh City. The course has consistently received numerous awards and certifications in recent years.

The Bluffs Ho Tram Strip was honored as the “World’s Best New Golf Course” at the 2015 World Golf Awards. In 2017, leading golf and tourism organizations in Vietnam voted it the “Best Golf Course in Vietnam”. The Bluffs Ho Tram Strip once again affirmed its đẳng cấp (high quality/excellence) by ranking 35th in Golf Digest’s “100 Best Golf Courses in the World” list and also being named the “Best Golf Course in Vietnam”.

These achievements have helped attract the attention of golfers worldwide. In addition, the luxurious 541-room hotel complex, The Grand Ho Tram Strip, is also considered one of the best golf hotels in the region.

Located along a stunning 2.2km stretch of beach less than two hours' drive from Ho Chi Minh City, The Grand is further enhanced by a casino with up to 90 tables and 500 slot machines, 13 dining areas, a relaxing spa with services for golfers, three swimming pools, and other upscale shopping options.

Located opposite the 5-star The Grand resort complex, The Bluffs golf course easily evokes the unique golfing experience of Southwest Ireland thanks to its stunning natural landscape created by sand dunes along the coast.

Gary Dixon, General Manager of The Bluffs Ho Tram Strip, shared: “We feel honored to be one of the contributors to the development of golf tourism in Vietnam. We are fortunate to own both a superb golf course and a world-class resort that maximizes the travel experience for our guests.”

Having commenced operations 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. Simultaneously, the Ho Tram Open was also voted "Event of the Year" by members of the Asian Tour.

Mr. Dixon added: “The recognition from the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism is a testament to the achievements we have strived for since the beginning. That is the effort to become a world-class tourist destination. If this achievement can help promote the image of Vietnam as a world-class golf destination, we are wholeheartedly striving for that ideal.”

The Bluffs Ho Tram Strip is located in the Ho Tram coastal area, 120 km southeast of Ho Chi Minh City – Vietnam's largest commercial center. A journey of less than two hours by car will take guests to The Bluffs Golf Course, situated opposite The Grand Ho Tram Strip complex, part of Phase 1 of the Ho Tram Strip project. The 18-hole, Par 71 course, designed by legendary golfer Greg Norman, is built on a prime geographical location surrounded by natural sand dunes, stunning sea views, and pristine forest, creating a challenging traditional links-style golf course.
