For Longer Corporate Golf Events
If your golf outing takes place in 2 or 3 days, the accommodation should be an important aspect to consider. It is not a good idea to play in one place and travel to another to stay.

Depending on the Difficulty of the Course
Selecting a suitable golf course for a corporate golf event should take into account the players’ professions. Golf courses have varying levels of difficulty, and selecting the appropriate one can enhance players’ enjoyment. If the participants are seasoned professional golfers, opting for a more challenging course can be a suitable choice. On the other hand, if the players are amateurs or beginners, selecting an easier course might be more appropriate.
If your event gets together seasoned pro golfers, you can choose from the following golf courses in Hanoi:

- FLC Ha Long Bay Golf Club
- FLC Sam Son Golf Links
- Thanh Lanh Valley Golf & Resort
- BRG Kings Island Golf Club – Kings Course

Thanh Lanh Valley Golf Resort

Whatever the purpose of your event, it is highly recommended to assign the organizing task to a corporate golf event organizer. Arranging such a golf outing is a complicated job that needs the engagement of a professional team. From choosing the right golf course to setting the game’s rules, arranging accommodations and transportation, managing the day of the event, etc., everything will be simpler with the help of a professional event organizer. If it is a leisure golf outing to strengthen the business relationship, your whole team can enjoy the event to the fullest without worrying about any unforeseen situations. When it comes to enhancing your corporate brand name or social responsibilities, using a corporate golf event operator is much more important as you won’t want any unwanting situations to occur on this significant day.
