This news article covers the 2022 edition of Hanoi Golf Tourism Week. Dates and hotel offers below applied to that event only; for current golf holidays, see the section on how Metta Voyage can help at the end.

The Hanoi Department of Tourism cooperates with the organizers of the Hanoi Golf Tourism Week 2022 Deployment Conference to create opportunities for the Capital’s tourism industry to build quality products and attract high-end customers.

From 20th Sep to 30 Oct, according to plan, Hanoi Golf Tourism Week will take place at golf courses and tourism destinations in Hanoi, Hung Yen, Ha Nam, Vinh Phuc, and Hoa Binh. The event will welcome participants from all around the country as well as some major nations like as Europe, Singapore, Malaysia, Korea, etc., in this particular month.

Golfers will be able to explore nearby tourist attractions in addition to completing. The purpose of establishing this presence is to draw all high-spending foreign tourists.

In addition to the city’s exceptional qualities in gastronomy, culture, and history, the deputy director of the Hanoi Department of Tourism stated. The development of golf tourism products, a high-end sport tourism category that combines golfing and golf course exploration, or vacationing in this region, will also be given priority by the tourism industry.

In order to boost tourists’ purchasing power and support the expansion of overall tourism revenue, golf tourism will be viewed as one of the key tourism goods in the next years.

Above all, representatives of Hanoi’s hotel chains—including InterContinental Westlake Hanoi, Lotte Hanoi, Pullman Hanoi—are dedicated to providing a 20–30% room discount to visitors who book golf excursions through travel agencies.

What Hanoi Golf Tourism Week was about

Golf Tourism Week was held in 2022, the year Vietnam fully reopened to international visitors. The idea was simple: bring together golf courses, hotels, travel agencies and the city’s tourism department to package golf with sightseeing, so that visiting golfers stay longer and see more of northern Vietnam. For the 2022 edition, courses in Hanoi and neighbouring provinces took part; note that several of those provinces have since been merged under Vietnam’s 2025 administrative reform, so their names may look different on a map today.

Why golf around Hanoi is worth a trip

Northern Vietnam offers a very different golf experience from the beach courses of Da Nang or Phan Thiet. Within one to two hours of the capital you can play lakeside courses, rolling layouts in the foothills and mountain courses with cooler air, and finish the day with dinner in the Old Quarter. Rounds are easy to combine with the rest of a classic itinerary: a cruise in Ha Long Bay, the limestone scenery of Ninh Binh or a few days in the hills.

The most comfortable time to play in the north is from about October to April, when days are dry and mild; December to February can be cool and misty in the mornings. From May to September it is hot and humid, with summer storms, so early tee times are best.

Practical tips for golfers

  • Book tee times in advance, especially at weekends, when local players fill the courses.
  • Caddies are standard on Vietnamese courses and many speak some English; tipping your caddie is customary.
  • Bring your own clubs or ask about quality rental sets; airlines have their own rules for golf bags, so check before you fly.
  • Allow for traffic: a private car with driver makes it much easier to reach courses outside the city on time.
