The Bluffs Grand Ho Tram - South Vietnam


Course Overview

Perched high above the coastline overlooking the South China Sea, The Bluffs Grand Ho Tram is widely regarded as one of the most spectacular golf courses in Asia. Designed by golfing legend Greg Norman, this world-class championship layout has earned international acclaim for its dramatic setting, exceptional design and exhilarating links-style challenge.

Situated approximately two hours from Ho Chi Minh City, The Bluffs occupies a remarkable stretch of rolling coastal dunes that rise and fall across the landscape. From the moment golfers arrive, the elevated terrain reveals breath-taking panoramic views of the ocean, with many holes offering uninterrupted vistas across the coastline. On clear days, players can see for miles in every direction, creating a golfing experience that is as visually impressive as it is memorable. Unlike many modern resort courses that rely heavily on artificial shaping, The Bluffs embraces the natural movement of the land. Greg Norman's design makes full use of the towering sand dunes, creating dramatic elevation changes rarely found on traditional links courses. Fairways twist through valleys and ridgelines, while strategically positioned bunkers and natural sandy waste areas challenge golfers to carefully consider every shot. Wind is a constant companion at The Bluffs and one of the course’s defining features. Conditions can change significantly throughout the day, transforming the way holes are played and ensuring that each round presents a fresh challenge. Golfers accustomed to the great links courses of the UK and Ireland will appreciate the importance of shot-making, creativity and adaptability when tackling this outstanding layout. While the course provides a stern test for accomplished golfers, multiple tee options ensure it remains enjoyable for players of varying abilities. The wide fairways offer opportunities from the tee, but precise approaches and confident putting are required to take full advantage of scoring chances. The combination of strategic design and natural elements creates a course that rewards thoughtful play rather than simply favouring distance.

The experience extends well beyond the golf course itself. The contemporary clubhouse sits atop one of the highest points on the property, providing sweeping views across the dunes and ocean. Golfers can relax with a meal or drink while reflecting on a round played against one of the most dramatic backdrops in world golf.

As part of the integrated Ho Tram resort destination, visitors also have access to luxury accommodation, fine dining, entertainment and pristine beaches. This makes The Bluffs an ideal centrepiece for a Vietnam golf holiday, whether as a dedicated golf getaway or as part of a broader itinerary that includes Ho Chi Minh City and Vietnam’s southern coast.

Regularly ranked among the best golf courses in Asia and featured in numerous international golf rankings, The Bluffs Grand Ho Tram has firmly established itself as one of Vietnam’s flagship golfing destinations. For UK golfers seeking a course that combines authentic links-style golf with extraordinary scenery and luxury resort facilities, few experiences in Asia can match what awaits at The Bluffs.
