If you tend to spend your next golf holiday in this stunning destination, this golf guide is absolutely what you need because it provides all you need to know before visiting Hoi An for a golf holiday. Let’s find out!
Hoi An is a well-known tourist destination due to its world-famous cultural heritage. In recent years, this place has invested a lot of resources in developing golf facilities, drawing thousands of golf enthusiasts. In this part, we will provide you with a general perspective on golf experience in Hoi An.
First of all, let’s take a look at the geography of Hoi An. Located in central Vietnam, Hoi An has diverse terrains, including coastal areas, deltas, and river systems. Making use of these geographical characteristics, architects designed some golf masterpieces that are the combination of modern facilities and stunning natural landscapes. Most golf courses in Hoi An have links-style, offering exciting challenges for golfers who want to test their skills. One of the most illustrative examples is Vinpearl Golf Nam Hoi An, an 18-hole course with a large fairway and strategic bunkers.

Coming to Hoi An, every customer’s needs are catered to and satisfied, ensuring a good mood and an unforgettable experience. In addition, there are other facilities such as a clubhouse, driving range, pro shop, and restaurant.
Another factor making the golf experience in Hoi An become more special compared to others is the ability to combine golf with cultural tourism and high-class resorts. Not only possessing beautiful golf courses, Hoi An also has a series of attractive tourist activities that golfers can experience after their golf game. We recommend you visit Hoi An ancient town for a nostalgic immersion in beautiful cafes and unique cuisine. If you love the salt air of beaches, come to An Bang Beach and Cua Dai Beach.

Finally, the decisive factor is the competitive golf costs. Despite having world-class golf courses, golf prices in Hoi An are affordable, with green fees ranging from $60 to $120 per round, significantly lower than other neighboring courses in Da Nang, such as BRG Da Nang or Laguna Lang Co. With reasonable golf prices and the ability to combine golf with relaxation and exploration, who can miss a chance to spend a golf holiday in Hoi An?
Because golf is an outdoor activity, choosing the right time to visit is crucial. In this part, we provide detailed information about Hoi An weather conditions and their main characteristics so that you can decide when is the best time to pack your luggage.
Hoi An belongs to a tropical monsoon climate with two distinct seasons: dry season and rainy season. Regarding the dry season (February to August), this is the ideal time to visit Hoi An for a golf holiday. During this time of the year, Hoi An experiences mild temperatures, ranging from 24 to 32°C, minimal rainfalls, and clear blue skies, making it ideal for a golf round without worrying about the weather change or excessive heat. In the early morning and late afternoon, you can enjoy the breeze from the beaches, which helps to regulate the air on the golf course. We recommend visiting Hoi An from March to June for a perfect golf holiday when the weather is stable and the golf courses are at their best.

For the rainy season (September to January), it could not be the must-go timer, but visitors can still enjoy the unique golf experience. Hoi An witnesses occasional rainfalls during these months, especially from October to December. There may be long-term heavy rain, but there may also be short-term showers with little impact on your game. The humidity is high, while the temperature is low, about 20-28°C. If you spend your golf holiday in Hoi An during this season, please check the weather forecast and bring a raincoat or waterproof boot to ensure a smooth golf round.
In conclusion, the best time to visit the golf holiday in Hoi An is from March to June, when the weather is dry and not too hot. From July to August, a golf round is recommended to happen except for midday when the temperature is high. You can play golf from September to January, but the weather is unstable, and sudden rainfalls may affect your game.
