Golf in Vietnam
Victories on green fields among jungles and seascapes
What it is and why
Golf in Vietnam is experiencing a real boom. World-class courses are being built here that harmoniously fit into the natural landscape: from white sand dunes in Phan Thiet to high-altitude courses in Da Lat with views of lakes and evergreen pines.
Infrastructure is developed at the highest level: almost every golf club has professional caddies, modern clubhouses, restaurants, and rental of quality equipment. This is a comfortable way to spend a day in the fresh air away from city bustle, enjoying impeccable lawns and refined service.

Tips

- Book tee time a week before arrival, especially on weekends when popular courses are overcrowded.
- Choose morning time (before 08:30) to complete 18 holes before the peak of midday heat.
- Observe dress code: polo with collar and special shoes are mandatory at all prestigious courses.
Caution
- Be careful with strong humid sun: use SPF 50+ cream even in cloudy weather.
- Rainy season can lead to temporary closure of individual holes due to drainage works.
