The West Course at Vietnam Country Club in District 9 of Ho Chi Minh City was designed by Lee Trevino, the six-time major champion who transitioned to course architecture after his playing career. Opened in the mid-1990s during Vietnam's economic liberalization period, this layout represents one of the early championship golf developments in the country and helped establish Ho Chi Minh City as a golf destination in Southeast Asia. The course occupies relatively flat terrain typical of the region surrounding Ho Chi Minh City, with design interest created through strategic bunkering, water hazards, and the incorporation of tropical vegetation. Trevino's design philosophy, influenced by his preference for playable yet challenging golf, emphasizes shot-making options and rewards accuracy over pure length. The layout features several holes where water comes into play, reflecting the natural drainage patterns and water management needs of the low-lying landscape. Vietnam Country Club serves both expatriate and local membership in Ho Chi Minh City's business community. The facility includes practice areas and clubhouse amenities that cater to both serious golfers and social members. The West Course, along with its companion East Course, provides year-round golf in the tropical climate, though the heat and humidity of the region influence playing conditions and pace of play throughout much of the year.
