According to statistics, the country has more than 80 international standard golf courses spread across three regions, of which, prominent golf centers include Hanoi, Quang Ninh, Da Nang, Khanh Hoa, Ho Chi Minh City and Lam Dong. Many golf courses were designed by world legends such as Greg Norman, Nick Faldo or Luke Donald, creating great attraction for international tourists.

Golf course development investment is closely linked to high-end resort complexes of large corporations. A series of golf courses along the coast, on the hills or in ecological zones have been established, forming a product network of "Resort + Golf + Resort Real Estate", contributing significantly to tourism revenue and socio-economic development in the locality.

According to Deputy Minister of Culture, Sports and Tourism Ho An Phong: In the vision to 2030, the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism aims to develop golf as a high-end tourism product, a comprehensive economic, cultural, sports and tourism sector contributing to green growth, regional development and promoting the national image.

Golf will become a bridge between sports, tourism, investment and education, where Vietnam not only welcomes golfers, but also trains human resources, organizes international events and builds a chain of golf destinations with Vietnamese identity. This is a concrete step towards a sustainable, integrated golf industry with Vietnamese cultural values.
