Golf and Culture: Combining Tee Time with Sightseeing in Vietnam

Vietnam has quickly become one of Asia’s most exciting destinations for golf lovers. With stunning landscapes, world-class golf courses, and rich cultural experiences around every corner, Vietnam offers the perfect combination of golf and sightseeing — a dream trip for anyone who wants more than just a game.

Whether you’re teeing off along the coastline of Da Nang, surrounded by misty mountains in Dalat, or exploring Hanoi’s timeless charm after a round, Vietnam’s golf holidays promise both luxury and adventure.


World-Class Golf in Breathtaking Settings

Vietnam’s golf scene has blossomed in recent years, with several courses ranked among Asia’s best. Here are some of the top destinations where golf and natural beauty blend seamlessly:

1. Da Nang – Vietnam’s Golfing Capital

Often called the “Golf Coast” of Vietnam, Da Nang is home to several world-class golf courses designed by legends like Greg Norman and Luke Donald.

  • Ba Na Hills Golf Club: Nestled in the mountains, this course offers cool temperatures and panoramic views.
  • BRG Da Nang Golf Resort: Featuring both Norman and Nicklaus-designed courses, it’s a must-play for serious golfers.

After your game, unwind at My Khe Beach, explore the Marble Mountains, or take a short drive to Hoi An Ancient Town, a UNESCO World Heritage site famous for its lanterns and riverside charm.


2. Hanoi – Golf Meets History

In northern Vietnam, Hanoi combines traditional culture with top-notch golfing experiences.

  • Sky Lake Resort & Golf Club and BRG Kings Island Golf Resort are popular choices, offering championship-level facilities surrounded by lakes and rolling hills.

After golf, explore Hanoi’s Old Quarter, Ho Chi Minh Mausoleum, or enjoy a bowl of pho on a street corner. The city’s mix of French colonial architecture, temples, and street food creates an unforgettable cultural contrast to your time on the greens.


3. Dalat – The City of Eternal Spring

Located in Vietnam’s Central Highlands, Dalat offers cool weather and stunning scenery, making it a perfect golf retreat.

  • Dalat Palace Golf Club is one of Asia’s oldest and most charming courses, with pine forests, flower gardens, and rolling hills.

When you’re not golfing, take time to visit Xuan Huong Lake, Bao Dai Summer Palace, or enjoy a cup of Dalat’s locally grown coffee at a lakeside café.


4. Ho Chi Minh City – Tee Off and Taste the Energy

In the south, Ho Chi Minh City (Saigon) is a vibrant hub of culture, cuisine, and nightlife.

  • Tan Son Nhat Golf Course, located just minutes from the airport, offers convenience and top facilities.
  • A short drive away, Twin Doves Golf Club and Vietnam Golf & Country Club deliver championship experiences.

After golf, immerse yourself in the city’s energy — visit the War Remnants Museum, Ben Thanh Market, or take a sunset cruise along the Saigon River.


Beyond the Fairways: Vietnam’s Cultural Riches

A golf trip to Vietnam isn’t just about playing — it’s about discovering the heart of the country.
From ancient temples and floating markets to vibrant cities and pristine beaches, Vietnam’s culture is deeply woven into everyday life.

  • Experience traditional water puppet shows in Hanoi.
  • Take a cooking class in Hoi An.
  • Cruise through the limestone karsts of Ha Long Bay.
  • Explore ethnic villages in Sapa for a glimpse into local traditions.

Each stop between golf rounds adds a layer of cultural depth to your trip.
