Overview

"Golf in Nha Trang" covers three different kinds of place. Three real outdoor courses: Vinpearl on Hòn Tre island, KN Golf Links down at Cam Ranh, Diamond Bay to the south. Each is a full day out, and none of them publishes a green fee. Two driving ranges where you hit a bucket: Diamond Sea on the southern shore, Vĩnh Trung out at Võ Cang in the west. And four indoor simulator bays, three of them inside the city and open late.

If you have a day and want a real round, pick by the journey rather than by any score. Vinpearl Golf sits on Hòn Tre, so you cross by cable car or boat. That is an extra leg, but it is the one course here with deer on the fairway, two of them out on the turf beside a bunker. The course runs along the foot of the hills over the bay and opens 05:30–18:30, the earliest of the three. KN Golf Links at North Cam Ranh, 40 km south near the airport, is a genuine links: dunes, low scrub, a green rising out of the water. The clubhouse is very large, ringed with national flags. If you fly into Cam Ranh before heading to the city, it is the easiest of the three to fit in.

Diamond Bay Golf & Villas on Nguyễn Tất Thành to the south is the closest of the three real courses to the city. It is also the one with a problem: patches of the fairway have gone brown. The setting is still handsome, with palm lines, water, mountains behind, one bunker looking straight out to sea. It opens 06:00–20:00, the longest day of the three thanks to floodlights. But if you are particular about a surface, ask how the course is playing when you ring. Do not find out on the first tee.

The two ranges are for when you only want to hit balls for an hour. Diamond Sea Golf Driving Range on Nguyễn Tất Thành in the south is the rare one: you stand on the mat and hit straight out over the bay, islands and moored boats beyond. Floodlights let you carry on after dark. Open 06:30–20:00, with no phone number on Maps. Vĩnh Trung Golf Club at Võ Cang in the west sits among fields, with a long covered bay line and signs in Vietnamese, English and Korean. It is the only range here that posts a price: 100 balls around 150,000đ, a 500-ball card around 600,000đ, a monthly card around 2,499,000đ for 300 balls a day, open 06:00–22:00. Confirm when you ring, because boards change.

The four indoor bays are where you play on a Friday evening in the centre. GOLFZON SKY on the second floor at 30B Nguyễn Thiện Thuật, in the middle of the tourist quarter, runs GOLFZON simulators and stays open until midnight, the latest on this page. Its price board reads about 300,000đ for nine holes, 350,000đ for eighteen in the morning and 500,000đ from the afternoon on, with an hour on the range around 300,000đ in the morning. There are package rates for a four. FRIENDS SCREEN in the Hà Quang 2 estate is a Korean-run three-storey building, with Kakao's Ryan character beside the screen and an artificial putting green upstairs. Open 08:00–23:30, with food served.

The last two sit at opposite ends. Costa Golf at 32-34 Trần Phú is the only bay on the beachfront strip: Inside there is a changing area with numbered lockers, a lounge with leather sofas, and a screen showing shot data: carry, ball speed, spin, face angle. It is set up for working on a swing. Open 10:00–22:00. At the other end, 8 Golf 3D & Coffee at BT1-11 Thích Quảng Đức in Phước Long is a café with one bay: wooden tables, fruit juice, a screen. Open 06:00–22:00, the earliest of the four, and the cheapest way to hold a club for an hour if you only want to try.

The figures on this page are for reference, copied off two rate boards on site and liable to have moved. The three real courses publish nothing, so with them the only route is the phone. Ask the price before you book a slot. At the same place, morning and afternoon differ, and weekday and weekend differ again.

In the same family: football pitches, badminton and pickleball for a group game; gyms and pools for a wet day.

    Hon Tre Island, Nha Trang, Khanh Hoa

    4.6 Google · 978 reviewsOpen 5:30 – 18:30

    On Hòn Tre island, reached by cable car or boat. It is the only one of the three real courses out on an island, and the one with a landscape of its own: fairways running along the foot of the hills, looking down over the bay and the hotel line across the water. There are two deer standing on the fairway beside a bunker, and from above at dawn you take in the whole course. The clubhouse has a high timber roof and a dining area facing the play. Open 05:30–18:30, the earliest of the three; no green fee is published, so ring.

    Nguyen Tat Thanh Boulevard, Phuoc Ha, southern Nha Trang, Khanh Hoa

    4.1 Google · 478 reviewsOpen 6:00 – 20:00

    On Nguyễn Tất Thành to the south, about twenty minutes out. It is the real course closest to the city, and has the longest day of the three thanks to lights: 06:00–20:00. The setting is genuinely good: tall palms down the fairways, water reflecting the hills, one hole with a bunker looking straight out to sea, and a "DIAMOND BAY" sign set into a grass bank. But stretches of fairway have gone brown, so ask how the course is playing when you ring.

    On Nguyễn Tất Thành in the south, right at the water's edge. It is a range you hit out over the bay: standing on the mat you look at sea, islands and moored boats, and the ball flies towards the water. There is a roof over the mat line, wooden tables on the grass behind, and floodlights for the evening, burning over the turf well after dark. Open 06:30–20:00. Maps publishes no number, so this is a place you simply turn up to.

A three-storey blue building on a corner, "FRIENDS SCREEN" running along the front, Korean-run and mostly Korean-attended: Korean lettering on the walls, a life-size Kakao Ryan beside the screen, and an artificial putting green upstairs with flags in it. Beyond the bays there are dining tables, and they serve a full grilled spread with iced tea. Open 08:00–23:30. About 3 km from the centre, so this is a taxi rather than a walk.

    BT1-11 Thich Quang Duc, P. Nam Nha Trang (Phuoc Long former), Khanh Hoa

    Open 6:00 – 22:00

    BT1-11 Thích Quảng Đức in Phước Long. It is a café with one 3D golf bay, not a golf centre. Outside, a tiled yard with folding chairs and a bougainvillea trellis under a "Golf 3D & Coffee" sign; inside, a wooden-floored room with wooden tables and a projected course with a mat in front of it. There is juice and coffee, so you can sit out an afternoon here. Open 06:00–22:00, the earliest of the four. Maps publishes no number; the address is enough to find it.

Addresses come from each shop's own Google Maps listing, and the Open map button opens that shop's pin rather than running a search. 18 shops on the site have no listing we could confirm, so they have no button: the address lookup returned a different business, and a button that points at the wrong place is worse than none. A Google score appears only when Maps carries both the score and the number of reviews — a bare average cannot be weighed, so this page leaves it out. Street-food stalls change hours and close without telling anyone; call ahead if you are travelling across town.

Before you book

  • Vinpearl Golf on Hòn Tre island — the one course with deer on the fairway
  • KN Golf Links Cam Ranh is a true links: dunes, scrub and a green in the water
  • Diamond Sea is a range you hit out over the bay, floodlit after dark
  • Three indoor simulator bays inside the city, one open until midnight

Practical tips

  • Ask the price in the booking call: the three courses post no green fee
  • Vinpearl Golf adds a cable car or boat leg across to Hòn Tre
  • Ask how Diamond Bay is playing before you go: the fairway has worn patches
  • No transport and only an evening free: take an indoor bay in the centre

Frequently asked

What does a round of golf cost in Nha Trang?

None of the three real courses publishes a green fee on Maps, because it moves with the day, the weekend, whether you are a resort guest, and the season. Each one's number is under its name at the foot of this page. Ask the price and book in the same call. The simulators do post rates: around 300,000đ for nine holes at GOLFZON SKY, and that figure is indicative.

Can we hire clubs?

The three courses and the simulator rooms all keep clubs for customers. Costa Golf, GOLFZON SKY and Friends Screen each have a rack beside the bays. How many and what sizes is worth asking beforehand, especially if you play left-handed.

One evening in the centre: where can we play?

The three indoor bays in the city: GOLFZON SKY on the second floor at 30B Nguyễn Thiện Thuật until midnight, Costa Golf at 32-34 Trần Phú until 22:00, and Friends Screen in the Hà Quang 2 estate until 23:30. All three are a short walk or taxi from the central hotels, with no need to hire transport.

How do we get to Vinpearl Golf?

The course is on Hòn Tre island, so you cross by cable car or boat. It opens 05:30–18:30, the earliest of the three courses, which makes a morning round the sensible one once the crossing is counted in.
