Song Be Golf Resort's Desert-Lotus course, designed by Barry Humphrey, occupies a transitional landscape in Binh Duong Province north of Ho Chi Minh City. The course operates from temporary tees while permanent infrastructure develops, a common phase in Vietnam's golf expansion. Humphrey's design responds to the region's flat to gently rolling terrain and tropical climate, incorporating water features typical of Southeast Asian resort layouts. The routing navigates through a mix of open fairways and tree-lined corridors, with strategic bunkering and water hazards defining play. The course reflects Humphrey's approach to resort design—balancing accessibility for recreational golfers with sufficient challenge for competitive play. Holes are arranged to take advantage of natural drainage patterns and existing vegetation, minimizing earthwork while establishing distinct character across the eighteen. Song Be Golf Resort serves the growing golf market in Vietnam's industrial heartland, offering an alternative to courses closer to Ho Chi Minh City. The temporary tee setup allows flexibility in course management and maintenance while the resort develops its full amenities. The Desert-Lotus course name suggests the designer's intent to evoke both the arid aesthetic and resilience of desert flora adapted to challenging conditions—a conceptual framing common in resort courses across Southeast Asia.
