Golf is big business across Asia, and Vietnam is no exception, with several golf courses close to Ho Chi Minh City. The nearest course to the city is the Vietnam Golf and Country Club in Long Thanh My Ward, 20km (12 miles) from the centre. One of its two 18-hole golf courses was designed by US golfing ace Lee Trevino, and visitors can play both during the week and at weekends, as well as make use of the on-site driving range.
