How Hanoi and northern Vietnam packages work
Golf in the north clusters around Hanoi, where a run of modern resort courses sits within an easy drive of the city. Because caddies are effectively compulsory in Vietnam and carts and transfers add up, most visitors buy an all inclusive style package that wraps green fees, caddy fees, cart and private transfers into one price rather than paying piecemeal at each course, which keeps both the cost and the logistics under control.
Below is how the main package shapes break down for 2026, which resorts anchor a trip, and how the golf fits the season. Every figure is a planning guide rather than a quote, since rates move with season, group size and availability, and you should always confirm directly before booking.

The deals worth watching
All inclusive is the default
The standard northern Vietnam package is all inclusive in spirit, wrapping green fees, caddy fees, cart hire and private transfers into a single price across several rounds. This matters more here than in most places, because caddies are near compulsory and the extras add up quickly if booked separately. For a visiting group, the bundle is usually both cheaper and far simpler than paying course by course.
Where the marquee resorts fit
BRG Kings Island, a large resort on Dong Mo Lake around 36 kilometres from central Hanoi, anchors many trips, with its arrival by speedboat across the lake part of the experience. BRG Legend Hill, designed by Jack Nicklaus, is a notable layout that plays to two separate greens on every hole, changing the tactics with the daily pin set. Operators have run short packages such as three days at Kings Island that work well as a base.
Combine golf with the country
Because the north sits within reach of Da Nang and the central coast, and of Halong Bay, many visitors fold the Hanoi golf into a longer itinerary that mixes rounds with sightseeing and a cruise. If golf is the priority, keep the rounds tight around Hanoi; if it is a broader trip, the combined tours spread the travel and add variety beyond the fairways.
Our take
Northern Vietnam is excellent value once you accept how it is priced. The all inclusive bundle is not a luxury here, it is the practical way to play given near compulsory caddies and the cost of carts and transfers, and it usually beats paying piecemeal. Base around Hanoi, use Kings Island and Legend Hill as the anchors, and decide early whether this is a pure golf trip or a wider tour.
Our advice is to travel in the cooler, drier months, lock the all inclusive package so the extras are covered, and confirm caddy and cart terms up front. Our Hanoi and the north hub and the best golf courses in Vietnam list lay out the options, our Hanoi green fee guide sets expectations on price, and our team can assemble the rounds, caddies and transfers, costed to the head, before you commit.
