Located about 40 minutes from downtown Ho Chi Minh City in Binh Duong Province, Song Be Golf Resort is one of the region’s most established golf courses, welcoming players since the 1990s. It’s a course that blends local charm with tropical tranquility—perfect for golfers who want to escape the city noise without venturing too far.
I recently played a weekday round here, and in this post, I’ll share my experience with the access, course, and overall vibe.
🚗 Getting There: A Quick Drive from the City
Getting to Song Be is easy. It’s about a 40-minute drive from District 1, with smooth roads and minimal traffic outside rush hours. If you're looking for a course to focus purely on your game—away from construction sites or city buzz—this one checks all the boxes.
⛳ Course Overview: 27 Holes with Unique Character of Song Be Golf Resort
The course features three distinct 9-hole layouts: Palm, Lotus, and Desert—giving you a total of 27 holes to mix and match.
Palm: A balanced course surrounded by trees. Accuracy matters.
Lotus: More beginner-friendly, with wider fairways and less trouble.
Desert: The most challenging of the three, with a dry, rugged design that will test your shot-making.
The paspalum grass holds up extremely well during the rainy season, and overall course conditions were consistent and well-maintained during my visit.
🌳 Atmosphere: A Relaxed Blend of Local and Resort Vibes
Unlike urban courses with skyline views, Song Be offers a more natural, peaceful setting—surrounded by lakes, trees, and quiet landscapes.
On a weekday morning, most players were local businesspeople. The overall feel was calm and mature, ideal for golfers who want to enjoy a focused, no-rush round.
🏌️♂️ Services & Facilities: Friendly Support and Everything You Need
The caddies (mostly women) spoke basic English. While communication was simple, they were spot-on with distance and line readings. Their professional-yet-casual support made the round more enjoyable—just the right balance of attentiveness and space.
The clubhouse is a bit dated, but very clean and fully equipped with lockers, showers, and a restaurant. No frills, but everything works—and it’s well taken care of.。
💰 Pricing: Local Rates, Great Value
Rates are reasonable for the experience:
Weekdays: ~120 USD
Weekends: ~150 USD
Considering the quality of the course, quiet surroundings, and quick access from the city, Song Be delivers great value for money—especially compared to higher-priced resort courses further out.
✅ Final Thoughts: A “Nearby Getaway” for Peaceful Golf Days
Song Be Golf Resort is an excellent option for:
🧘♂️ Those who want to golf in a calm, natural setting
🚗 People looking for a short escape from the city
🌴 Anyone craving a little resort feel without leaving town
Whether you're an expat, a weekend warrior, or just in need of a mental reset, Song Be makes it easy to reconnect with the game.
