 12 DAYS 11 NIGHTS

Hanoi - Ho Chi Minh (Saigon), Vietnam to Phnom Penh - Siem Reap, Cambodia

DAY 1: Arrive in Hanoi & Golf

Upon arrival, your tour guide will escort you to the transport for your transfer to Hanoi Golf Club for your first golf game. Located up north and open for play in November 2006, this golfing gem has been strategically designed with trademark Japanese attention to detail over a vast 108 hectares of gentle, sloping terrain. The founding goal was to build a world-class championship golf course on the hillsides of North Hanoi, and at a lengthy 7,301 yards, what Hanoi Golf Club has today is a solid mature course beautiful to behold and a challenge to play.

Meals: N/A

DAY 2: Hanoi Golf Tour

Today’s golf is at the 36-hole King’s Island Golf Resort. Getting there is by way of boat, as the Lakeside Course spans two islands in a reservoir. No surprise then that water, in numerously varied ways, is a central feature, with many of the hidden greens requiring accurate carries over the lake or swampy terrain. On the Mountain view course, the 12th hole is an interesting dogleg right par 4 with bunkers grouped at the bend to prevent all but long hitters from cutting the corner. Big hitters hoping for a short iron in have to nail one straight over the bend, or be caught out by a fairway bunker on the left. Whichever the course, King’s Island challenges and excites all levels of players.

Included Meals: Breakfast

DAY 3: Hanoi – Ha Long

After breakfast, take 3.5-hour drive to Ha Long bay, a World Heritage Area of outstanding natural beauty. Upon arrival, transfer to a junk for a cruise around Ha Long Bay with a delicious local seafood lunch served on board. The cruise passes by many rocks and islets in many funny shapes. The cruise may stop for a while for visiting a beautiful case, if not today, you will do tomorrow according to each boat/junk’s itinerary. Again your dinner served on board. In the evening, enjoy the night fishing (optional) and later overnight on board.

DAY 5: Hanoi - Ho Chi Minh (Saigon) Golf Tour

Upon arrival, your tour guide will meet and greet you, and escort you to the transport for your transfer to Twin Doves Golf Club for your first golf game. An exclusive members club with top notch facilities, Twin Doves is three distinctly different nines in the woodlands and lakes style of design. The scenic Luna Course is characterized by numerous small hills bordered by forests, and incorporates all the natural elements of the terrain as challenging hazards. Nature’s best continues to feature in the Stella Course as creeks weave between tree-flanked holes, placing a premium on accurate shot-making if one is to return a good score. With greens mostly multi-tiered and guarded well by water hazards, the Stella Course wins praise as the most exciting of the three nines. Playing around a lake is the Sole Course, replete with an island green, beach bunkers, and of course a series of water hazards. This nine is unique in that it has only a single par three and par five.

Included Meals: Breakfast

DAY 6: Ho Chi Minh (Saigon) 

This morning, play your second round of golf at Vietnam Golf & Country Club. Widely regarded as the country’s premier golf club, Vietnam Golf has hosted Asian tour events on its two championship courses. The West Course plays long, and tee shots are challenging to narrow landing areas, some of which also feature a lone tree in the center of the fairway. Only single-digit handicap players are advised to play off the back tees. Standing out as one of the best holes, the 11th is a long 408 yard par 4-dogleg left, which demands of a drive that must carry over trees left to have sight of the green. Complicated by another large tree in the center of the fairway, the approach is then to a slightly elevated, shallow and wide green bunkered on both sides. The hillier Lee Trevino designed East Course offers more generous fairways but is protected by 110 well-positioned bunkers, water hazards and undulating fast-rolling greens which have been the undoing of many a better player. Scoring well requires smart approach shots that set up relatively straighter putts on the greens.

Included Meals: Breakfast

DAY 7: Ho Chi Minh City (Saigon) – Cu Chi Tunnels
