Hanoi Golf Booking Guide (2026) — Green Fee Structure, Course Features, Practical Booking & Travel Tips

Hanoi is a prime golf destination with over 10 championship courses located within an hour's drive from the city. This guide covers everything from the green fee structure and price variations by day and season, to the unique characteristics of major courses like Kings Island, Phoenix, and Tam Dao, as well as practical tips for tee time reservations and transportation.

Hanoi is an underrated gem among Southeast Asian golf destinations. With over 10 championship courses located within an hour's drive from the city, the cost for course maintenance level is less than half that of Korea. However, the booking process differs from Korea, which can be confusing at first. This article will help you navigate the entire practical booking process.

Green Fee Structure — What's Different from Korea

Hanoi golf costs typically consist of a basic 3-part set: green fee + cart fee + caddie fee. Additionally, a caddie tip is given separately on-site after the round. Unlike Korea, where a "total per person" price is often quoted, these items are separated, which can make the total cost seem different in various reviews.

• Day of the Week: There's a significant difference in green fees between weekdays and weekends. If your schedule is flexible, you can save considerably by playing on weekdays.
• Season: The summer rainy season (June-August) is relatively off-peak and offers price advantages. The peak season is from October to April when the weather is good.
• Package: It's usually more advantageous to get a package quote including green fee + cart + caddie (+ transportation) for a set date and number of people, rather than walking in on-site.

Golf Course Characteristics — Where to Play

Renowned & Premium Courses

Practical Booking Steps

• Confirm Date & Number of Players → 2-3 days in advance for weekdays, up to 1 week in advance for weekends.
• Select Your Course → Based on the categories above, match it to your schedule and preferences. If unsure for your first visit, Kings Island or Skylake are safe bets.
• Request a Package Quote → Include green fee + cart + caddie, and specify if city round-trip transportation is needed.
• Confirm Tee Time → Receive and keep the confirmation (tee time & price) via chat.
• On the Day of Play → Arrive 40 minutes before your tee time, prepare cash for the caddie tip.

Transportation — Why You Should Book a Car Package

Most golf courses are located 40 minutes to an hour away from the city center, so while a one-way Grab might be possible, securing a return vehicle can be problematic. It's standard to include a chauffeured vehicle (with round-trip waiting) in your package, which also conveniently handles vehicle selection for 2-4 golf bags — Hanoi Car Rental & Transportation Guide
