Sample Day-by-Day Golf Itinerary

Day 1: Arrive at Noi Bai International Airport (HAN) & Hanoi French Quarter Check-In

Private pickup at Noi Bai International Airport (HAN) and transfer 40 minutes into central Hanoi. We select golfer-friendly 4-star and 5-star hotels with wide coach driveways near Hoan Kiem Lake and the French Quarter so your group can walk to evening pho, bun cha, and craft beer restaurants.

Day 2: Round 1 at Sky Lake Resort & Golf Club (18 Holes)

Drive 55 minutes southwest of Hanoi to Sky Lake Resort & Golf Club. Winding around natural Van Son Lake beneath steep limestone cliffs, the Sky Course features the famous par-4 15th hole ('Dien Bien Phu') and fast championship greens. Return to Hanoi for an evening in the Old Quarter.

Day 3: Expressway to Ninh Binh & Round 2 at Trang An Golf & Resort

Depart Hanoi after breakfast for a 90-minute expressway drive south to Ninh Binh. Play 18 holes at Trang An Golf & Resort (or Nicklaus Design's Legend Valley Country Club), where fairways weave through mature pine forests, karst pinnacles, and emerald lakes. Optional late-afternoon sampan boat ride through the Trang An UNESCO grottoes.

Day 4: Transfer to Ha Long Bay & Overnight UNESCO Heritage Bay Cruise

Travel east via the modern highway to Ha Long Bay. Board a 5-star overnight cruise vessel at noon, sailing past thousands of limestone islets with afternoon kayaking, sunset deck cocktails, and a fresh seafood dinner on the calm bay waters.

Day 5: Disembark & Round 3 at FLC Ha Long Bay Golf Club

After morning tai chi and brunch on board, disembark at 11:00 AM and drive 15 minutes up the coastal hill to FLC Ha Long Bay Golf Club.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What are the best months for a Hanoi, Ninh Binh, and Ha Long Bay golf holiday?

October, November, March, and April deliver the best dry weather in Northern Vietnam (20°C to 26°C with clear skies). December through February is cooler (14°C to 20°C), which suits golfers from Europe or southern Australia who prefer sweater weather over tropical heat.

Q: Can we stay in Hanoi the entire trip and skip the overnight Ha Long Bay cruise?

Yes. If your group prefers a pure golf schedule based out of a single hotel in Hanoi, we replace the cruise night with local Hanoi rounds at Long Bien Golf Course (27 floodlit holes inside the city), Heron Lake (Dam Vac), or BRG Kings Island.

Q: How isBRG Legend Hill's twin-green layout different from a standard 18-hole course?

Every hole at BRG Legend Hill has two completely separate putting surfaces (36 greens across 18 fairways), guarded by different bunker and water angles. If your group plays 36 holes there, you play the left greens in the morning and the right greens in the afternoon.

Q: How long are the highway transfers between Hanoi, Ninh Binh, and Ha Long Bay?

Thanks to the modern Hanoi-Ninh Binh and Hanoi-Haiphong-Ha Long expressways, Hanoi to Ninh Binh takes 90 minutes, and Hanoi to Ha Long Bay takes just 2 hours in a private limousine van.
