Vietnam is emerging as one of the best new golf destinations with incredible weather, fascinating cultures and a brilliant range of championship golf courses. In 2012 Vietnam was named the "Undiscovered Golf Destination of the Year" by the International Association of Golf Travel Operators (IAGTO), validating that Vietnam is increasingly becoming a more popular destination for golfers.
Its superb climate brings sunshine throughout the year, with the highest temperatures coming between May and October. Hanoi is one of the oldest capitals in the world and boasts magnificent temples and local markets much like Ho Chi Minh or Saigon. Of course, near Hanoi you will find Ha Long Bay, which is one of the country’s biggest tourist attractions, notably popular with climbers and hikers.
Hanoi is home to a host of fantastic golf courses with the standout venue being the 54 holes on offer at BRG Kings Island Golf which is just under an hour from the city centre.

The unique layout plays away from the East Sea, eliminating the coastal winds you may experience at other courses in Da Nang but like many other courses in the area provides golfers with spectacular views across the rolling hills and surrounding valleys.
Faldo’s design embraces the varying landscape from the rivers to rocky crops and boasts a breathtaking backdrop of the surrounding mountains and coast, which provides a gentle sea breeze at stages on the course.
