Hanoi & Ninh Binh Golf trip: A journey where golf meets heritage

Immerse yourself in a golfing experience enriched with cultural discovery, authentic northern Vietnamese cuisine and historical landmarks while playing on top-rated courses. This carefully curated itinerary brings together championship golf, breathtaking UNESCO heritage sites, immersive local experiences, and culinary delights.

Golf among mountains and lakes: three unique courses

Northern Vietnam is home to some of the region’s most scenic and thoughtfully designed golf courses and this journey includes three of the very best.

Thanh Lanh Golf Resort 

Thanh Lanh Golf Resort offers an alpine-like experience, nestled in a quiet valley between the Tam Dao mountains and Thanh Lanh Lake. Known for its elegant clubhouse and heart-shaped island green at Hole 14, the course is both visually striking and player-friendly.

Trang An Golf & Resort

Trang An Golf & Resort features the most scenic 36-hole golf complexes in Northern Vietnam. The golf course is built next to the Dong Chuong ecological lake, surrounded by pine forests, allowing players to immerse themselves in nature throughout the course. In addition to the standard 18-hole, par-72 course, there is another 18-hole technical course with par-3 holes, perfect for beginners to both practice and fully enjoy the game.

Royal Golf Club 

Royal Golf Club offers two contrasting 18-hole courses. The King Course plays along Yen Thang Lake with dramatic water features, while the Queen Course runs through rocky terrain, offering elevation changes and challenging layouts surrounded by Tam Diep’s natural beauty.

UNESCO landscapes: Trang An and Tam Coc

Beyond the fairways, this itinerary brings travelers into the heart of Ninh Binh’s UNESCO-recognized scenery. The Trang An Landscape Complex, a World Heritage Site, showcases dramatic limestone karsts, ancient temples, and tranquil waterways, best explored by traditional sampan boat.

Meanwhile, Tam Coc offers equally stunning views, with rice paddies and caves set beneath steep limestone cliffs. These sites, often referred to as “Halong Bay on land,” reveal Vietnam’s deep cultural and geological heritage.

Cultural encounters: Village crafts and local life

Golfers seeking meaningful local connections will enjoy visits to Van Lam embroidery village, where artisans maintain generations-old techniques of hand embroidery. Set near Tam Coc, the village also offers insight into rural life in the Red River Delta.

A taste of Northern Vietnam

No journey is complete without savoring local cuisine. Along the way, guests enjoy a blend of countryside hospitality, including garden house lunches in Tam Coc and vibrant urban flavor through a guided street food tour in Hanoi.

From freshly poured bia hoi to bowls of authentic pho, grilled fish rolls, and northern-style nom salad, the trip offers curated tastings that reflect the region’s culinary depth. The experience ends at a traditional rice wine tavern which serves traditional ethnic dishes from the mountains of North Vietnam, an iconic establishment in Hanoi’s food scene.
