Vietnam Golf Planning Guide for Travel Professionals (2026)
This is a B2B reference for travel agencies, corporate travel teams, and incentive planners building golf-led programs in Vietnam. It focuses on practical course selection by city, transfer logic, seasonality, group handling considerations, and how to position golf within MICE, incentive, and VIP itineraries.
Non-promotional reference for itinerary design and operations planning.
How to use this guide
- Choose courses by city hub (Hanoi / Da Nang–Hoi An / Ho Chi Minh City).
- Validate tee time windows, transfers, and group pace-of-play assumptions.
- Separate core program (meetings / gala / transfers) from optional golf modules.
Why Vietnam is rising as a golf destination (2026 lens)
For travel professionals, Vietnam’s golf appeal is not only the variety of course styles (coastal, mountain, resort) but also how easily golf can be integrated into multi-purpose trips: incentive programs, executive delegations, partner summits, and high-end leisure extensions. Vietnam’s major hubs—Hanoi, Da Nang–Hoi An, and Ho Chi Minh City— provide year-round golf options with strong hotel inventory and reliable service ecosystems.
Program versatility
Golf can be used as a standalone theme or a controlled add-on within MICE and incentive agendas.
City-hub efficiency
Multiple quality courses within transfer distance allows itinerary flexibility and contingency planning.
Value vs. experience
Vietnam remains competitive for premium golf programs compared to many regional alternatives.
Planning notes for agencies & corporate groups
Tee time & pace-of-play assumptions
- Group pace is typically slower than individual play; plan buffers between golf and dinner functions.
- For incentive groups, consider staggered waves + on-ground coordinators.
- Confirm course policies on caddies, carts, dress code, and handicap requirements.
Transfers & logistics
- Transfers are the hidden cost driver: plan by hub and avoid backtracking across cities.
- For VIPs: prioritize fast access + reliable service flow (arrival, check-in, tee time, return).
- For groups: allocate bag handling, water breaks, and weather contingency (rain protocols).
How golf fits MICE & incentives
Golf works best as a controlled module inside corporate programs: a VIP leisure window, a partner bonding session, or an incentive highlight day. Keep golf clearly separated from meeting deliverables in the run-of-show to avoid schedule risk. For broader corporate travel context, see: MICE & Corporate Travel Solutions.
Best time to play (by region)
| Region |
General best windows |
Planning note for groups |
| North (Hanoi & nearby) |
Autumn–Spring (generally cooler) |
Cooler weather supports longer playing days; watch fog/cold snaps seasonally. |
| Central (Da Nang–Hoi An) |
Dry months typically offer the smoothest operations |
Storm/rain season can disrupt tee times; plan alternative indoor / cultural modules. |
| South (HCMC & nearby) |
Year-round feasible |
Heat/rain impacts afternoon play; morning tee times reduce risk and improve pace. |

Vietnam Golf FAQs (2026) — for travel professionals
Vietnam combines growing course inventory, diverse layouts (coastal, mountain, resort), and strong hospitality. For planners, the key advantage is hub efficiency: Hanoi, Da Nang–Hoi An, and Ho Chi Minh City allow golf to be integrated into MICE and incentive programs with reliable hotel ecosystems and predictable service flows.
For itinerary design, build shortlists by hub. In Hanoi: BRG Legend Hill, BRG King’s Island, Sky Lake. In Central Vietnam: Ba Na Hills, Montgomerie Links, BRG Danang. In Ho Chi Minh City: Tan Son Nhat, Saigon South. Final selection should follow hotel location, transfer time, and tee time availability for the group.
New course pipelines and openings can be market-specific and time-sensitive. For agency planning, validate with current operations and tee time supply before publishing or quoting. If needed, keep such updates inside
Market & Policy Updates rather than this evergreen planning guide.
It varies by region. North is often most comfortable in cooler months; Central Vietnam is most stable in dry periods; the South is generally year-round but benefits from morning tee times to reduce heat and rain risk. For corporate groups, plan weather buffers and indoor alternatives to protect the main program schedule.
For premium itineraries, “off-course” experiences should remain controlled and program-aligned: private dining, spa recovery windows, cultural showcases, and resort-based leisure that fits incentive objectives. The goal is to enhance participant experience without introducing uncontrolled free time that creates operational risk.
Costs vary by hub, course tier, season, tee time demand, and inclusions (caddie, cart, range balls). For B2B quoting, the correct approach is to price as a module with clear assumptions: tee time, inclusions, transfer, coordinator support, and cancellation terms.
Yes—when golf is designed as a controlled module with proper logistics: wave tee times, transfer buffers, on-ground coordination, and a clear boundary between corporate-mode and optional extensions. This keeps program integrity while still delivering a high-impact incentive component.
Professional note
Golf in Vietnam can serve multiple program types—from executive leisure windows to incentive highlights and partner networking rounds—when planned with clear assumptions and operational control. Keep golf selection hub-based, protect meeting schedules with buffers, and quote golf as a defined module to avoid scope creep.
