Vung Tau Paradise Golf Course in Vung Tau, Vietnam

Vung Tau Paradise Golf Course is a 27-hole seaside golf facility at 1 Thuy Van in the Vung Tau coastal area. The course is divided into three nine-hole loops—A, B and C—and sits within the Paradise Beachside Resort environment near Back Beach. Current official material continues to show active 2026 pricing, booking rules and promotions, so this is not a legacy course surviving only in old golf directories. It is best suited to golfers who want a full coastal round while staying in Vung Tau, with the practical advantage that beach and city accommodation are nearby.

The administrative address changed after the 2025 merger. Paradise Golf’s own current contact page now gives “01 Thuy Van Street, Tam Thang Ward, Ho Chi Minh City.” Vung Tau remains the correct travel locality and is still used in the course name, destination marketing and visitor navigation. Travel S Helper therefore keeps the canonical route under Vung Tau while noting Tam Thang Ward and Ho Chi Minh City in the modern address.

Official course material describes 27 holes divided into A, B and C nines. Vung Tau tourism information characterizes the layout as undulating, green and integrated with seaside landscape, natural lakes and mature vegetation. The course is suitable for both newer and experienced golfers, but the three loops differ in shape and challenge. Recent January 2026 golfer feedback specifically described Course A as the most demanding of the three, although that is an individual assessment rather than an official ranking.

Paradise publishes a complete 2026 price table valid from 1 January through 31 December. It includes 9-, 18-, 27- and 36-hole products with different weekday and weekend rates, as well as cart and equipment charges. Caddie fees are not included in the main public price table, and the official rules say caddie service depends on availability. Prices are date-specific commercial information, so travelers should check the live table instead of copying one number from an old article.

Reservations are strongly recommended. The official rules say advance bookings receive priority, and walk-in golfers may have to wait for caddies and carts. Groups are limited to four players. On weekends, club days and holidays, the course normally accepts bookings for groups of at least three; smaller groups can be paired with other golfers. These rules are particularly important for solo or two-person travelers who assume they can always tee off privately.

Current 2026 booking platforms generally offer tee times from 06:00 to 14:00 for both weekday and weekend rounds. Trip.com lists the broader facility as open from 05:30 to 20:00. These figures describe different things: tee-time availability versus general facility access. The sidebar therefore uses 06:00–14:00 as the practical golf-start window and notes the broader facility listing separately. Always book an actual tee time rather than arriving based only on a business-hours field.

The course also operates a driving range and chipping practice area. From December 2025, Paradise introduced upgraded floodlighting at those practice facilities, allowing easier evening practice. The same promotion introduced special Tuesday and Thursday Golden Hours from 13:00. These current programs demonstrate active investment, but they should not be mistaken for night golf on the full 27-hole course. A current golf-booking profile explicitly says no night-golf facility is available for the course itself.

Golf etiquette and dress rules are formal. The operator requires proper golf clothing, including collared or closed-neck shirts and appropriate shorts. It also publishes pace-of-play expectations: nine holes should be completed in no more than about two hours ten minutes, and 18 holes in no more than about four hours twenty minutes. Golfers should allow extra time for check-in, changing, warm-up and any post-round meal.

Transport is simple within Vung Tau. The course is on Thuy Van, close to Back Beach and many hotels. Taxi, ride-hailing or hotel car are easy choices, and golfers staying nearby may have a short transfer. Travelers from central Ho Chi Minh City should reach Vung Tau first rather than treating the course as a quick urban trip; road or ferry transfer time makes a same-day golf outing more demanding.

A full 18-hole visit usually needs around five hours once arrival and preparation are included. A 27-hole day takes longer and should start early. Tropical heat and rain can affect pace and course availability. The official rules allow course decisions in bad weather, and current booking platforms also warn that severe weather can cause closure or schedule changes.

The official 2026 price table also makes clear that Paradise sells 9-, 18-, 27- and 36-hole products, so visitors are not limited to one format. A short-stay traveler can choose a nine-hole round, while committed golfers can use the full 27-hole layout. Those options do not change the need to reserve: cart, caddie and group arrangements are operational constraints that can matter more than the nominal number of holes.

Accessibility is limited by the nature of the sport. Carts are available, but the course still involves uneven turf, bunkers and long outdoor distances. No current comprehensive disability-access guide was found for the clubhouse or all course areas. Golfers needing assistance should discuss cart use, changing facilities and companion policies before booking.

Vung Tau Paradise Golf Course remains one of the most straightforward golf options for travelers actually staying in Vung Tau: active 2026 rates, three nine-hole loops, a coastal setting and current practice-facility investment. Use the Vung Tau route, book a tee time rather than relying only on facility hours, and read the current rules if traveling as a solo or two-person group.
