Tips for Planning Your Vietnam Golf Trip

To ensure your holiday is a “hole-in-one”, keep these expert tips in mind:

     ▪️ Book 6-9 months ahead: The “Golf Coast” (Danang) is in high demand. For peak season, securing priority tee times requires early planning.

     ▪️ Pack for Humidity: Even in the “cool” season, Vietnam is humid. Bring moisture-wicking golf apparel and plenty of high-SPF sunscreen.

     ▪️ Respect the Caddie: In Vietnam, caddies are mandatory and highly skilled. They are the “secret weapon” for navigating unfamiliar greens—trust their lines!

     ▪️ Mix Your Play Styles: Don’t just play links courses. Vietnam offers unique “parkland” and “mountain” layouts. Ask us to mix your itinerary to experience the full variety of Vietnam terrain.
