Learn golf nearby Ho Chi Minh City

Hello! My name is Lionel, I am 23 and I come from France. I will arrive very soon in HCMC and I will like to learn golf !

Does anybody know good places to practice as beginner or anybody would be interested to learn with me ?

What are the general fees to play golf in Vietnam ?

Thank your for your attention :)

Welcome to Expat.com Lionel!;)

Hi Lionel,

If you're living near District 1, there's a driving range just nearby in District 2.

Here is the Google Plus page with the address. I've never been, but I've seen it from the road. It looks pretty basic, just an open field with a net.

Also, there's quite a few golf courses/resorts around. The closest one I know of is in Phu My Hung about 7km south of District 1. My friend golfs there and says it's decent for a weekend break.

Hope this helps.

Thanks for this information Nuton. It's very useful ! I contacted a golf instructor in HCM and he also told me about this range in district 2.

There was so many golf courses around SaiGon the city banned any more from being built.

That was last year.

Him Lam Driving Range
was pretty good.  Not crowded on a weekday

Hi all, I'm daniel from Singapore , currently working in hcmc. I'm looking for a golf instructor, preferred to be in dist.2. Anyone who got the contact pls share me. Thank you!

Hello Daniel. I live in D 7, but I am mobile. I AM retired, and I AM anxious to teach you :) !

I have worked as a caddy since I was a young boy (1973), played until last year (Toronto, Halifax, St. John's, all in Canada), and as I am now retired I have much free time to teach you (for FREE!). Drop me a line and we can link up (pun intended).
Golf should be about personal growth, focus, and discipline, but NOT about cash and (endless) frustration(s). Your greatest adversary should be the number of strokes you hit on your last round, not your opponent on today's outing. The best thing your current course opponent will be, would be as an eye to keep your stroke counts honest  ;)
As a tip, always focus on your short game. Any gorilla can hit 225(+) yards (and sometimes even straight!), but it takes finesse to lob a 20 yard'er onto the green close to the flag.
Best for now,
Aidan

Hi there Aidan,

Recently relocated to Saigon.

Keen to get some golf lessons on the go.
This would for myself and an old school friend from Hong Kong who has also recently relocated to the city.

Off the cuff we were thinking best to start at the Him Lam Golf Driving range for a weekly session and as things progress transition into playing on a course.

We're both new to the game (I played a bit at school but that was a time ago indeed).

I'd like to know your thoughts and if we could come to some sort of arrangement. Twould most excellent and am looking forward to it.

I'll be back on the 20th November FYI.

Looking forward to hearing back from you.

Cheers,

Max
