Any ExPat golf societies in HCM?

Moving to HCM in early November.  Locating in D7.
I'm retired and now main hobby is golf.
If there are any ExPat societies or groups, are new members welcomed?
Any recommendations for local courses?
Cheers.

I think he was looking for a name.  :/:unsure

Hi there,

I'm looking for golf buddies and new here too.  If you don't mind playing with lady (I know some male golfers don't like playing with women :) I'm less than 20 handicap and have played for 10 years.  I checked that the closest to hcmc is the one near the airport or can go to Binh Duong which has few nice courses  there.

Cheers

The course near the airport, which is actually within the walls of the airport, is under management of the military.  It may however be open to the public to pay-to-play.  It seems odd to most westerners but the military in Vietnam is partially self supported through ownership of businesses.  It is an odd marriage of socialism and capitalism.  This may be one of those efforts.  The entrance is on the west side on the road that goes between Gò Vấp and Tân Phú districts. 

I don't know if it is still true or if the government chose to clean up the image for sake of the course, but the opposite side of that street used to be lined with whorehouses.  We used to take this route returning at night from a friend's home in Tân Quý to our own.  I had to take care to keep my eyes on the road with my wife on the back of the bike.   :D:huh:

Yes I won't mind playing with a lady, my handicap is now over the roof - how do we hookup
