Green Fees in Hanoi and the North: What It Costs to Play in 2026
Northern Vietnam delivers championship golf at numbers most destinations cannot touch: weekday rounds from about $80, weekend peaks around $200, and stay and play packages that bundle the lot. Here is what each of the courses that matter costs in 2026, and how to pay less.

How pricing works here
Green fees around Hanoi follow a simple pattern: weekdays are the bargain, weekends and holidays jump by roughly half, and the flagship resort courses charge a premium over the city tracks. As an indicative 2026 frame, expect about $80 to $150 for a weekday round at the championship courses and about $120 to $200 on weekends. Caddies are standard and carts are widely used; budget for both plus a caddie tip on top of the headline fee.
The other lever is the package. The golf resorts west and north of the city sell stay and play deals from roughly $200 to $400 per night including lodging and green fees, which beats paying rack rates round by round. For where these courses sit on the map and how a week fits together, start with our Hanoi and the North destination guide and the companion piece on how to play golf in Hanoi.

How to pay less
Play midweek and the north is one of golf's great bargains. Tee sheets are quietest Monday to Thursday, which is when the $80 to $120 windows appear at courses that charge half as much again on Saturday. October to April is the comfortable season; the hot, stormy summer months bring the year's lowest rates for golfers who can take a 6 am tee time.
Packages beat rack rates. The resorts at Dong Mo and Sky Lake bundle lodging and unlimited or twice daily golf at numbers that undercut booking each round separately, and a trip planner holding trade rates can usually improve on both, which is exactly what we do on a Vietnam golf holiday.
