Optimal Seasons for Golf in Vietnam

Vietnam’s climate varies significantly between the North, Central, and South, making it essential to time your Vietnam golf holidays according to the regional weather.

North Vietnam (Hanoi & Surroundings):

Best Time: March – April & September – November

• Spring (March–April): Mild temperatures and low humidity make this season ideal for outdoor sports. Expect lush greens and clear visibility across Northern golf courses such as BRG Kings Island Golf Resort and Sky Lake Resort & Golf Club.

• Autumn (September–November): Cooler temperatures and golden foliage provide scenic backdrops and comfortable play. October and November are particularly favored by international golf travelers.

Avoid:

• Summer (May–August): Hot and humid with frequent tropical downpours.

• Winter (December–February): Cold snaps and fog may affect visibility and comfort.

Central Vietnam (Da Nang, Hue, Hoi An):

Best Time: February – May

Central Vietnam boasts some of the country’s most iconic golf destinations, including Ba Na Hills Golf Club and Laguna Lang Co Golf Resort.

• Late Winter to Early Summer (Feb–May): Dry conditions and warm but not oppressive temperatures create ideal golfing conditions. The coastal breeze adds to the charm of early morning tee-offs.

Avoid:

• June – August: Sweltering heat can reach up to 38°C.

• September – Early November: The rainy season brings potential storms, especially along the coast.

South Vietnam (Ho Chi Minh City & Mekong Delta):

Best Time: November – April

• The dry season in the South is perfect for luxury golf holidays in Vietnam. Courses like Tan Son Nhat Golf Course, Vietnam Golf & Country Club, and Long Thanh Golf Resort remain lush and accessible.

• Expect consistent temperatures around 30–32°C with minimal rainfall, making it possible to schedule multiple rounds per day.

Avoid:

• May – October: Sudden afternoon showers are common, though short. Early tee times are recommended for those golfing during this period.
