OPEN FOR BOOKINGS

Vietnam is the emerging golf destination in the world!

From north to south, world class courses are opening- all designed by top architects in magnificent sandy terrain along the coast.

On this escorted tour, you will play on the newest and most acclaimed courses in Vietnam.

There will be time to do the "bucket list experiences" of Vietnam - an overnight junk cruise in the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Halong Bay, a private guided tour of the palaces, shrines and citadels in the Imperial city of Hue and free time to explore the graceful and historic town of Hoi An.

As a combined golf and sightseeing tour we believe this to be a truly unique offering and great value.

Join us for this special tour - places are limited.

Overview

The tour begins with a brief stop in the capital city of Hanoi before heading off to Halong Bay for an overnight cruise with "Indochina Sails Boutique" aboard a luxury replica junk boat. We explore this magnificent Bay, famous for its pinnacle shaped limestone islands and dolomite outcrops. The cruise includes island tours, activities and all meals.

The next day we disembark to play nearby FLC Ha Long Bay GC (completed in 2017), which overlooks the spectacular limestone Karsts of Halong Bay. The following day we play golf at Stone Valley Golf Resort (opened in 2018), a course that weaves its way through spectaular valleys and forested mountains of "King Kong" fame.

A short flight takes us to the ancient city of Hue where we enjoy a private tour of the palaces, shrines and temples of this Imperial City. Two nights are spent at the luxurious beach side resort of Angsana Lang Co, and we play the recently renovated Laguna Lang Co Golf Course.

We travel south to Danang and play the impressive mountain course of BaNa Hills. After golf, we continue onto the historic town of Hoi An, and stay 2 nights in a Royal Hoi An hotel, beautifully located on the banks of the Thu Bon River. We explore the town and play the new Nicklaus course at BRG Danang Golf Club (opened 2018) and the Robert Trent Jones Hoiana Shores Golf Club (opened 2019). Both courses have opened to much excitement and high acclaim.

A flight south takes us to Cam Ranh where we play KN Can Ranh Golf Links, a Greg Norman signature course located in spectacular white dunes overlooking the blue waters of the South China Sea.

The escorted tour ends here, but you have the option to continue onto Dalat or Siem Reap in Cambodia.

Dalat is known as the city of "Eternal Spring" due to its temperate climate. This former colonial resort town, is full of beautiful French-era buildings and the golf courses have a mountainous Alpine feel to them.

Siem Reap is famous as the gateway to the temple ruins of Angkor (one of the 7 ancient wonders of the world). It is also home to the best courses in Cambodia.

There is also a pre tour option to visit Quang Binh, north of Hanoi.
