The wait is finally over. After years of rumours about the 15-time Major champion bringing his architectural vision to Asia, Tiger Woods is officially making his mark on Vietnam’s golfing landscape.
In a historic announcement for luxury golf travel in Southeast Asia, Woods and his TGR Design team have unveiled the Sunset Course, a new layout within the groundbreaking Vinhomes Green Paradise in Can Gio, just south of Ho Chi Minh City.
A new Tiger “wonder” in Asia
The Sunset Course is Tiger Woods’ first-ever design in Asia, a region that holds special meaning as his mother’s birthplace. Woods has called the project a “perfect opportunity” and describes his vision as rooted in a deep emotional connection to the land.
The design takes its cues from the light, wind, and terrain of Can Gio. The area’s dramatic sunset colours—orange, yellow, and burgundy red—shaped the routing, with holes that shift character as the light changes. Golfers can expect a layout that plays with light and shadow, turning the golden hour into a genuine part of course strategy rather than just a photo opportunity.
Vinhomes Green Paradise, Can Gio
The Sunset Course sits at the heart of Vinhomes Green Paradise, a development promoted as a “New Urban Revolution.” Unlike conventional resorts, the project is built on ESG++ principles (Environmental, Social, and Governance), putting sustainability and long-term liveability at the core of the masterplan.
Can Gio itself is a UNESCO-recognised biosphere reserve, famed for its mangrove forests and rich biodiversity. For golfers, that means playing in a pristine, nature-forward environment where the landscape is as memorable as the scorecard.
Why this matters for your next golf break
Vietnam has already emerged as a premier golf destination, with headline designs by Greg Norman, Jack Nicklaus, and other legends. Adding a Tiger Woods signature course pushes the country into a new league on the global golfing map.
True to TGR Design’s philosophy, the Sunset Course is built for playability and variety. It promises to be fun and accessible for amateurs while still offering strategic options that will test low-handicappers and professionals. Paired with the energy, food, and culture of nearby Ho Chi Minh City, this is a bucket-list golf experience in the making.
