I flew to Phu Quoc last month specifically for golf — two rounds at Vinpearl and one at the newer resort course near Long Beach. This Phu Quoc golf guide covers everything an island golf trip needs: courses, green fees, timing, and why this tropical island deserves a spot on your Vietnam golf itinerary.
Phu Quoc’s golf scene is small but premium. Three courses serve the island, with Vinpearl Golf Phu Quoc as the clear standout — an IMG-designed championship layout that plays through cashew orchards and coconut groves with glimpses of the East Sea from elevated tees. At $80-140 per round, it’s not the cheapest in Vietnam, but the island-golf-plus-beach combination is unbeatable.

When to Play Golf on Phu Quoc
This Phu Quoc golf guide window is November through April — dry season with 26-32°C and light ocean breezes. May through October brings monsoon rain (heavy afternoon showers) that can close courses 2-3 days per month. Green fees drop 20-30% in wet season, so budget-conscious golfers can still play — just book morning tee times.

Where to Stay for Phu Quoc Golf
Long Beach has the best hotel density and beach access. Budget: Phu Quoc Ocean Pearl ($40/night). Mid-range: Sol by Melia ($80/night, beachfront). Premium: JW Marriott ($200/night, private beach, golf concierge). Vinpearl Resort offers stay-and-play packages starting from $150/night including green fees.
⛳ Dave’s Practical Tip: Phu Quoc is a beach-and-golf paradise. Book a snorkeling trip via Klook for the afternoon — your non-golfing companions will thank you. Viator’s sunset fishing tours are also excellent.
