08/17/2011 Golf as a sport has been going through troubled times recently. There was the controversy about Tiger Woods that didn’t do the sport any good. TV viewer ship has gone down. With the recession looming large, many golf courses in the west have even had to close down. The only saving grace is the fact that golf as a sport is growing in the east. Several new golf courses are opening and people from all corners of the world are actually traveling to countries such as Vietnam, Cambodia, Malaysia, Indonesia and others to play the game. A new website, www.VietnamGolfTours.com, is now promoting the game in Vietnam. Thanks to the website, Vietnam golf is certainly on an upswing.

Those who are still new to golf in Vietnam and Indochina may be surprised to know that there are a few really outstanding golf courses in the region. In fact, some of these courses have been designed by Nick Faldo, Greg Norman, Colin Montgomerie and other famous golf design companies. Many of them are located in exotic locations close to the World Heritage Sites. The Vietnamese golf courses are located in Saigon, Hanoi, Phan Thiet & Mui Ne, Dalat, Danang and in Hoi An. There are courses that are close to the incredibly beautiful Halong Bay, the heritage of Hue Ancient Imperial Citadel and the My Son Holy Land.
