West Lakes Golf & Villa
Long An
Located in Long An province, around an hour west of Ho Chi Minh City, West Lakes Golf & Villas is a modern and well-maintained course offering a relaxed yet high-quality golfing experience. Designed by Thomson Perrett, the course reflects a classic strategic approach with a focus on playability and clean design.
The 18-hole championship course stretches to over 7,100 yards and is characterised by wide fairways, large bunkers and numerous water hazards that come into play throughout the round. While forgiving off the tee, the layout requires more precision on approach shots, particularly when navigating around lakes and into well-guarded greens.
West Lakes is known for its strong conditioning and straightforward, enjoyable layout. It’s accessible for a wide range of golfers, making it ideal for both casual rounds and more competitive play. The open design also helps maintain a smooth pace of play.
The development includes villa-style accommodation and clubhouse facilities, making it a convenient stay-and-play option. Its quieter location compared to courses closer to the city adds to its appeal as a more relaxed golfing destination.

About The Area
Oslo is Norway’s most practical and polished golf base, combining city culture, fjord scenery and easy access to several of the country’s strongest courses. It works especially well for golfers who want a short-break feel rather than a remote resort stay: quality golf by day, then waterfront dining, museums, bars and fjord views in the evening.
The closest standout venue is Oslo Golf Club at Bogstad. Founded in 1924, it is Norway’s oldest golf club, with an 18-hole course beautifully positioned beside Lake Bogstad. The setting is calm and leafy, with water, trees and classic parkland strategy shaping the round. It is a proper test without feeling overly severe, rewarding accuracy and good course management rather than just distance.
For a more modern championship-style experience, Miklagard Golf is one of the strongest options near the capital. Located close to Oslo Airport and around 20–25 minutes from Oslo, it offers a Robert Trent Jones Jr-designed course with wide fairways, bold bunkering and large greens, making it a brilliant addition to a city-based itinerary.
Golf around Oslo is best from May to September, when the weather is milder, daylight is long and courses are in peak condition. Summer evenings are a real bonus, giving plenty of time for relaxed late rounds.
Off the course, Oslo has loads going for it. The city sits right on the Oslofjord, with easy access to fjord cruises, kayaking, swimming and island-hopping, while cultural highlights include the MUNCH museum, Oslo Opera House, Vigeland Park and Holmenkollen.
For golfers seeking high-quality Norwegian courses, easy travel, fjord scenery and a lively but relaxed city base, Oslo is one of Scandinavia’s most enjoyable and convenient golf destinations.
