Description
The Bluffs Ho Tram Strip
Located along Vietnam’s southern coastline in Ba Ria–Vung Tau Province, The Bluffs Ho Tram Strip is one of Asia’s most celebrated golf courses. Designed by legendary golfer Greg Norman, this award-winning links-style layout sits atop dramatic seaside dunes with panoramic views of the East Sea.
Opened in 2014, The Bluffs quickly gained international recognition for its unique terrain, challenging layout, and luxurious resort integration. The course is part of the Ho Tram Strip — a growing destination offering world-class golf, casinos, hotels, and beachfront relaxation just two hours from Ho Chi Minh City.
From windswept fairways to natural sandy wastelands and sea views from nearly every hole, The Bluffs delivers an unforgettable championship experience. Whether you're a serious golfer or a weekend traveler, this course is a must-play in Vietnam.
🧭 Course Layout & Design
The Bluffs is an 18-hole, par-71 links-style course stretching 6,855 yards (6,270 meters). The layout follows the natural undulations of the dunes, with steep elevation changes, open fairways, and firm conditions influenced by coastal winds.
Designed to showcase the land rather than reshape it, Greg Norman’s philosophy of “playing with the land” results in a raw and authentic links-style challenge. Every round is unique, as wind direction dramatically affects shot-making and club selection.

-
Hole 4 – A visually stunning par-3 playing downhill to a green perched by the sea.
