King Island Golf

Day 1,  
Welcome to Vietnam! Vietnam is lucky in so far as it possesses tropical year round golf weather, an expansive coastal shore, and temperate central and northern regions. Arrival in Hanoi after being welcomed by our staff you will be transported to your hotel.
After freshening up take a half day ‘Best of Hanoi’ sightseeing tour. Steep yourself in history, tradition, and legend in a capital that has been inhabited continuously for almost a millennium.

Visit the famous Old Quarter, Museum of Ethnology, Ho Chi Minh Mausoleum, and “Hanoi Hilton” (POW prison). After the tour you will be transported back to your hotel.

Day 2,   (B)
After breakfast at your hotel you will be transported to Kings Island Golf Club, arguably the most scenic course in North Vietnam. The golf resort lies on the shores of the Dong Mo reservoir 36 kilometers from Hanoi. In a uniquely Vietnamese touch, access to the course is by boat. As might be expected, water plays a central role in the course design and comes into play on 13 of the 18 holes. Many of the hidden greens require accurate carries over the lake or swampy terrain. A favorite hole among players of the course is the par five thirteenth, with the tee shot having to clear a gorge. Probably the most extraordinary hole is the fourteenth, the highest point on the course affording a spectacular view of Ba Vi Mountains. After golf you will be transported back to your hotel.

Halong Bay

 Day 4   (B, L, D)
After breakfast at your hotel you will be transported to Ha Long Bay. In 1991 a scene of the French movie INDOCHINE was filmed on the Bay. The film was about the life of a French woman who lived in Vietnam during the French domination in Indochina from mid-19th to mid-20th century. Ha Long, a World Heritage site recognized by UNESCO, attracts around 90% of the visitors coming to Vietnam. It covers 1,500 square kilometers and has nearly 2,000 limestone islands and islets.

Moving boldly over wispy Casuarina pines and sand dunes the Montgomerie Links Vietnam gives you the feeling of being in Scotland without the cold temperatures you find in the British Isles!

Kochkurs

Day 8,  (B)
After breakfast at your hotel you will be transported to the Danang Golf Club. Reminiscent of both Scottish links golf and Carolina sand hills golf, Australia's Great White Shark Greg Norman has created arguably Vietnam’s best course. Built on the sandy loam soil of China Beach, fairways are generous and there is restrained use of water. However shots must be carefully placed to give players a chance to go for the pins on the well bunkered and undulating greens. The fairways are lined and well defined by long needle pines, so miss into the trees and you will be forced to punch off the sand and pine needles along a safe line just to get back into play. More so than other areas of Vietnam, the wind can play be a major factor on the central coast. After golf you will transfer back to your hotel

Danang Golf

 Day 9,   (B)

Vietnam Golf & Country Club

 Day 11,  (B, L)
After breakfast at your hotel you will be transported to Vietnam Golf & Country Club.

The 7,106-yard course features narrow tree-lined fairways, fast smooth greens and hosted the Vietnam Open (Asian PGA Tour Event) in both 1995 and 1997.

After golf you will be transported back to your hotel.

Day 12,   (B)
After breakfast at your hotel you will travel to Song Be Golf Resort, Vietnam’s first international championship golf course and widely regarded as one of the most challenging layouts in the country. The golf resort was built out of the natural landscape of fruit orchards and coconut palms. The resort style layout features 10 lakes. As Song Be translates as "little river", a tributary of the Mekong, it is unsurprising that water comes into play in eight of the 18 holes. Mature tree lined fairways with undulating greens add to the overall golf course difficulty. A fully equipped and modern club house provides golfers with excellent ocean and sand dune views to enjoy the golf course and facilities after their round. After golf you will be transported back to your hotel.

Long Thanh Golf

Day 13,  (B)

Fairways and tees are constructed from Paspalum grass and greens use the latest variety of dwarf Bermuda. After golf you will be transported back to your hotel.

 Day 14,   (B)

Since the turn of the century, Dalat has been the vacation spot for well-to-do Vietnamese and foreigners due to its weather for its attraction and romance. Dalat is the city of eternal spring; each day in Dalat includes splendid spring in the morning, bright summer at noon, cool in the afternoon and comfortable at night.

Golfers are reminded of the days when the pursuit of leisure was the norm for the French colonialists. Local Vietnamese staff greets guests with warm, friendly smiles. The course crosses through stately pine trees to oversized and delicately manicured bent grass greens. In fact, due to the cooler climate in the mountains of Dalat the course is the only one in Indochina with bent grass tees, fairways and greens. The large, undulating greens are maintained to impeccable standards and present a good challenge. After golf you will be transported back to your hotel.
