Ten years ago, Vietnam barely registered as a golf destination. Today, it hosts courses designed by Colin Montgomerie, Luke Donald, Sir Nick Faldo, and Lee Schmidt — championship designers who have delivered some of the most visually spectacular layouts in the world. The green fees are still a fraction of equivalent courses in Japan, South Korea, or the UK. The facilities have reached international standard. And the settings — limestone karst mountains, UNESCO lagoons, tropical coastlines — are completely without equivalent in the golfing world.

Frequently Asked Questions
Which is Vietnam's best golf course?
＋BRG Kings Island Mountain Course near Hanoi is consistently ranked first in Vietnam and among the best 10 in Southeast Asia. The Montgomerie Links in Da Nang is the most popular with visiting golfers who want a genuine coastal links experience. Ba Na Hills is the most visually spectacular. The correct answer depends on what type of course you prefer.
Can I play golf and see Vietnam's cultural highlights in the same trip?
＋Yes — this is precisely how we design our golf tours. Play Kings Island on the afternoon after arriving in Hanoi; spend the following day sightseeing in the Old Quarter. Halong Bay cruise before flying south to Da Nang; Montgomerie Links and Ba Na Hills over two days; Hoi An Ancient Town on the rest day; Laguna Lang Co on the way to Hue.
What is the dress code at Vietnamese golf courses?
＋Smart casual is the standard at all major courses: collared shirt, tailored shorts or trousers. Denim is generally not permitted on the course. All courses have pro shops with clothing available if required. Dress codes are enforced at the clubhouse but are generally more relaxed on the course itself.
Are caddies available in Vietnam?
＋Yes, and they are excellent. Caddies are mandatory at most major Vietnamese courses and cost between £15-25 for 18 holes (tip additional). Vietnamese caddies are well-trained, knowledgeable about their courses, and provide accurate yardage and reading advice. Using a caddy is highly recommended even for experienced golfers.
Can we arrange a golf tournament for a corporate group?
＋Yes. We organise private corporate golf events at major Vietnamese courses for groups of 8-40 players, including tournament organisation, scoring, prizes, and post-round dining. All logistical elements — accommodation, transfers, tee time blocks — are arranged as part of a single programme.
