Paul personally responds to all enquiries within 24 hours.
Vietnam is the destination I send Australian golfers to when they want exceptional courses without the European price tag. Da Nang in particular has Greg Norman, Luke Donald, and Colin Montgomerie designs within an hour of each other.
I have escorted groups across all three regions. Every course in our packages is one I have either played myself or had a Golf Corner team member assess on the ground.
We negotiate directly with hotels and courses. You will not find these packages cheaper elsewhere.
Tee times, accommodation, caddies, carts, and transfers are all pre-arranged. You just bring your clubs.
Paul and the team are available throughout your trip. If anything changes on the ground, we sort it.
Vietnam Golf Courses at a Glance
The standout championship courses across Vietnam's three golf regions, with the headline designer or accolade for each.
BRG Da Nang Golf Resort
Norman's signature links-style layout along the central coast. The original course that established Da Nang as Vietnam's premier golf region.
Ba Na Hills Golf Club
A mountain layout cut through tropical jungle. Voted Vietnam's best course in multiple industry awards.
Montgomerie Links
Montgomerie's only design in Asia. A genuine links experience set between Da Nang and Hoi An.
Kings Island Golf Resort
A 36-hole resort 45 minutes from central Hanoi. Long the flagship of northern Vietnamese golf.
Sky Lake Resort and Golf Club
A 36-hole layout (Sky and Lake courses) set against rolling hills and water features. Genuinely scenic and challenging.
Long Thanh Golf Club
A 36-hole championship venue near Ho Chi Minh City. The most established golf venue in southern Vietnam.
Golf in Vietnam
Vietnam has quickly become one of Asia’s most exciting golf destinations. The country combines spectacular coastal scenery, rich culture, and world-class course design across three distinct regions. From the beaches of Da Nang to the bustling streets of Ho Chi Minh City, Australian golfers are spoiled for choice.
Vietnam offers some of the best value golf in Southeast Asia. Green fees at championship courses run from approximately AUD $90 to $200 per round when booked independently. Golf Corner’s packages bundle accommodation, transfers, caddies, and rounds into one upfront price, which delivers stronger value than booking each element separately.
Central Vietnam: Da Nang and Hoi An
The central coast around Da Nang and Hoi An is Vietnam’s golfing jewel. Greg Norman’s BRG Da Nang Golf Resort, Ba Na Hills, and Montgomerie Links offer championship layouts beside golden beaches. This region blends luxury beachfront resorts with UNESCO heritage sites and exceptional Vietnamese cuisine.
Da Nang itself has emerged as Asia’s most concentrated luxury golf destination. Within an hour’s drive you can play four world-ranked courses, then return to a five-star resort on China Beach. The pairing of championship golf and Hoi An’s lantern-lit old town makes this region the standout choice for couples and groups.
Northern Vietnam: Hanoi
Hanoi boasts a fast-growing golf scene with lush, rolling layouts set against scenic mountain backdrops. Kings Island Golf Resort and Sky Lake Resort and Golf Club are the standout venues. Both offer 36 holes and are within an hour of central Hanoi.
The northern climate is markedly cooler than the south, particularly between November and February. This makes Hanoi ideal for Australian golfers escaping summer heat or wanting a more temperate playing condition. Pair golf with a Halong Bay cruise and a day touring the Old Quarter for a complete northern itinerary.
Southern Vietnam: Ho Chi Minh City
The south around Ho Chi Minh City delivers variety, nightlife, and accessibility. Top courses include Long Thanh Golf Club and Twin Doves Golf Club, both within easy reach of the city. The Bluffs Grand Ho Tram Strip is also accessible as a 2-hour transfer for golfers wanting a beach extension.
Saigon is the easiest entry point for first-time visitors. The city’s energy, food scene, and history make for excellent off-course days. Combine 4 to 6 rounds with a Mekong Delta day trip for a culturally complete tour.
Getting to Vietnam from Australia
Vietjet, Vietnam Airlines, and Jetstar operate direct flights between major Australian cities and Vietnam. From Perth, expect approximately 9 hours direct to Ho Chi Minh City. From Sydney and Melbourne, direct flights to Ho Chi Minh City run 8 to 9 hours.
Da Nang is reached either via direct services from Sydney and Melbourne, or with a short connecting flight from Ho Chi Minh City or Hanoi. Vietnam is 3 hours behind Sydney AEST and 1 hour behind Perth AWST. The minimal time difference makes Vietnam one of the easiest long-haul golf trips for Australian travellers.
Best time to play golf in Vietnam
The optimal season for Australian visitors is February to August in central Vietnam (Da Nang and Hoi An). Northern Vietnam (Hanoi) plays best from October to April when temperatures are cooler. Southern Vietnam (Ho Chi Minh City) is playable year-round but driest from December to April.
Most Golf Corner clients travel between March and September, balancing weather, availability, and value across all three regions. Avoid the central coast during October and November when typhoon risk peaks. Always check current weather patterns before locking dates.
Beyond the fairways
Vietnam captivates with authentic cuisine, historic towns, stunning coastlines, and warm hospitality. Halong Bay cruises, ancient temples, vibrant night markets, and spa retreats give non-golfers plenty to do. The country’s blend of championship golf, incredible value, and unforgettable cultural experiences has made Vietnam a rising star on the global golf travel map.

Is Vietnam or Thailand better for golf?
Both are exceptional Asian golf destinations and we recommend Australian golfers visit each at least once. Thailand has more total courses (over 250) and longer-established golf infrastructure.
Vietnam has newer championship-pedigree courses (Greg Norman, Luke Donald, Colin Montgomerie designs) and tends to offer better value per round, particularly in Da Nang.
Where is the best place to play golf in Vietnam?
Da Nang on the central coast is widely regarded as Vietnam's premier golf destination. Within an hour you can play BRG Da Nang Golf Resort (Greg Norman), Ba Na Hills (Luke Donald), and Montgomerie Links (Colin Montgomerie).
Hanoi in the north and Ho Chi Minh City in the south offer strong supporting golf scenes. Many Australian groups combine two regions across a 10 to 14 day trip.
When is the best time to play golf in Vietnam?
The best time depends on which region you visit. Central Vietnam (Da Nang, Hoi An) is best February to August. Northern Vietnam (Hanoi) plays best October to April. Southern Vietnam (Ho Chi Minh City) is playable year-round, with December to April being the driest.
Avoid central Vietnam during October and November when typhoon risk peaks. Most Golf Corner clients travel between March and September.
