Sea Links Golf Country Club — Attraction in Phan Thiết City

Here's Clint Eastwood's review of this place. Good, bad and ugly. What's so good about this place? ✅ Big, big, very big place with spectacular views. Very beautiful during sunset. Nice welcome drinks. ✅ Lots of space to swim. Many pools to choose from. ✅ Nice gym and children's play area. ✅ Great breakfast buffet selection with live piano music playing! ✅ Very clean room and washrooms. 👍 Bad stuff that made this place less than ideal: ❌ Only workers that seemed happy were the folks making the food and the cleaning staff. Everyone else seemed sad or unhappy working there. This creates an odd feeling at Sea Links compared to nearby The Cliff Resort where everyone we met looked happy. ❌ Menu items in the restaurant were subpar in taste. In contrast, the Vista restaurant at The Cliff made every item amazing. We walked there to eat instead. This restaurant at Sea Links needs to focus on better food in their menu and remove what they're not good at making. ❌ Salon worker, do they have any experience working in a salon before??? 🙈 Can't even do a simple wash/dry and facial massage as good as a random salon in the city. Was thinking of full body massage but decided against this after the poor performance of wash/dry. 🙊😕 Ugly parts of this place? 🙈 Two very, very small bottle of water for two adults. Might need to make it at least 500ml each instead. Most folks are thirsty upon arrival... ❌ They can really clean up that water area in front of the gym. Everything looks beautiful around the resort except this area....

As a golfer who's travelled a bit, Sea Links Golf & Country Club in Phan Thiet is something special. Sure, there are fancy courses everywhere, but this one has a real soul to it.

Right off the bat, the location is stunning. They weren't kidding around about the "links course" theme. You're playing these rolling hills with the South China Sea sparkling in the background. It's dramatic, for sure, but also weirdly peaceful. And challenging! Those ocean breezes can really mess with your swing. I shanked a drive or two into the sand dunes, which wasn't exactly relaxing, but hey, that's part of the game.

Speaking of challenges, the course itself is no pushover. The holes are well-designed, with a good mix of long bombs and tricky par 3s. The greens are immaculate, and let me tell you, putting with that ocean view adds a whole new layer of pressure (not always good for my score, but hey).

All in all, I left Sea Links feeling exhilarated and wanting more. It's a course that will test your skills but reward you with beauty and a true golfer's challenge. If you're ever in Phan Thiet, do yourself a favor and tee off at Sea Links. You...

Only played golf here, but it seemed a very professional outfit. Having not realised it was here I didn’t have any equipment with me, so hired clubs and shoes, and had to buy balls, a glove and some tees. The green fees were very reasonable, but all the extras did add up.

The greeting in reception was very friendly and helpful, and there are locker rooms to store your things. Caddies are mandatory, which was a new experience for me and also adds up the cost. Hanh was delightful, however, and very knowledgeable about the course and what hazards lay where. She was also very generous with praise on good shots and found nice excuses for poor ones! As someone who loses the flight of their ball easily, mainly through a very poor attention span, it was really handy having her there! I can’t praise her enough.

I’d have loved to do a full 18, but as it was only a last minute decision to play and we weren’t in the area long, I left it at 9. Course in decent nick, greens a little sandy and quite fast, but ball ran true enough on the putts. Just difficult to judge speed on the longer ones.

Would love to play again if I ever come back...
