Best Time to Golf in Hoi An

Hoi An is a great destination for golfers with the charming old town and stunning beaches. The best time to tee off in Hoi An is during the dry season, from February to May. During these months, the weather is warm but not too hot. Average temperatures range from 22°C to 30°C (71°F to 86°F), with low humidity and almost no rain. It is the perfect setting for an enjoyable round of golf. The courses are in excellent condition, and early morning or late afternoon tee times feel particularly refreshing with the light breeze coming off the coast.

If you can’t visit Hoi An during the dry season, November and January are also good months to visit. It is cooler, with temperatures ranging from 18°C to 25°C (64°F to 77°F), making it perfect for golf. Additionally, it is off-season, so you might not be packed and enjoy more courses.
The rainy season from September to November is the least ideal time for golfing in Hoi An. Heavy rains and storms are common, and the courses may be waterlogged or temporarily closed, making it hard to plan your games.

For the best experience, it is recommended to visit between February and May. The combination of ideal weather and scenic courses ensures a memorable game, whether you are a seasoned golfer or just looking for a laid-back round during your vacation.

It is recommended to allocate some time to investigate the captivating sights surrounding Hoi An.

These five limestone and marble hills harbor hidden caves, age-old pagodas, and stunning viewpoints.

Tips for a Perfect Golf Holiday in Hoi An

Choose the Right Time to Visit

For the best golfing experience, visit Hoi An between February and May. The weather is warm but not scorching, with lots of sunshine and barely any rain. Mornings and late afternoons are ideal for teeing off since cool breezes make it feel just right. Avoid September to November if you can because that’s monsoon season, and nobody wants their game ruined by heavy rain or muddy greens. Trust me, it’s way more fun to focus on your swing than worrying about storm clouds.

Book Your Tee Times Early

Hoi An’s courses including Vinpearl Golf Nam Hoi An, are gaining popularity, especially in high season. If you wait until the last minute, you might end up with awkward tee times – or worse, no slots at all. Save yourself the headache and book ahead. Many courses make it easy to reserve online, or you can ask a local travel agent like IDC Travel to sort it out for you. Getting your tee times locked in early gives you peace of mind and makes it easier to plan the rest of your trip without rushing.

Stay Hydrated and Pack Sun Protection

Even if it’s not peak summer, Hoi An can get warm, and being on the course for a few hours can leave you drained. Bring a water bottle and sip often to stay hydrated. Also, don’t forget sunscreen, sunglasses, and a hat – you don’t want to end up sunburned after just one round. Wear lightweight, breathable clothes to keep cool. It’s the little things that make a huge difference, letting you stay comfortable and focused on your game.

Balance Golf with Local Exploration

While golf is the main event, you would be missing out if you don’t explore Hoi An’s other gems. After a game, wander through the Ancient Town – it’s magical with all the lanterns and riverside cafes. Feeling wiped? Head to An Bang Beach for a swim or just chill at a beachfront bar with some seafood. If you’re up for it, try a cooking class and learn to whip up local dishes like banh xeo. Balancing golf with a bit of exploring keeps things fun and gives you memories that go beyond the fairways.

Hope the above information will help you plan your perfect 4 days golf in Hoi An. If you still need help or want to customize your trip, don’t hesitate to reach us. Our experts at GolfLux are always eager to help you!
