Hoi An Golf Holidays: Championship Courses, Coastal Links & Cultural Golf Packages 2026/2027

Fewer Courses Than Da Nang, but That Is Partly the Point

Hoi An has three championship courses: Hoiana Shores Golf Club, Vinpearl Golf Nam Hoi An, and Montgomerie Links. If you are counting courses and comparing numbers, Da Nang has more options. But the golfers who choose Hoi An as their base are usually not making a volume decision. They are making a pacing decision.

Hoiana Shores, designed by Robert Trent Jones II, is the most recent addition and the one that has generated the most attention. Publicly available course information describes it as a links-influenced layout built into coastal dunes facing the East Sea, with wide fairways that channel sea breezes directly across the playing lines. The course plays as part of the broader Hoiana Resort complex, which means the facilities around it match the quality of the golf. Vinpearl Golf Nam Hoi An sits further south along the same coastline, with a more resort-oriented layout that suits golfers who want a scenic round without the exposure of a pure links experience. Montgomerie Links, about 15 kilometers north toward Da Nang, is a Colin Montgomerie design that is also accessible to guests staying in Hoi An and frequently included in packages that run across both destinations.

Two or three rounds across these courses in four to five days gives you enough variety without repetition. That is the right format for this destination. Hoi An is not a place you come to play five rounds in a week. It is a place you come to play well, eat well, and spend an evening in the Ancient Town without feeling like you are rushing between activities.

Extend Your Trip: Da Nang Is 30 Minutes Away and Worth the Drive

Hoi An and Da Nang share an airport and a coastline, and the road between them is a 30-minute drive. That proximity means a Hoi An golf holiday can access the full range of Da Nang courses without requiring a hotel change or a domestic flight.

In practical terms, this makes Hoi An an effective base for the entire central Vietnam golf zone. You stay in a quieter resort town, use the Ancient Town and beaches in the evenings, and drive north for rounds at BRG Da Nang, Ba Na Hills, or Laguna Lang Co when you want more variety. Several packages on this page already follow this pattern, combining a Hoi An base with courses on both sides of the Da Nang corridor.

For the full Da Nang course selection from a Hoi An base, the Hue to Da Nang Golf Package 5 Days covers the widest range, running from Laguna Lang Co near Hue all the way through the central coast. The Cua Dai Da Nang Golf Package 3 Days is the shorter version for golfers who want two strong rounds and a cleaner itinerary.

Who a Hoi An Golf Holiday Is Best For

Hoi An suits golfers who want the cultural side of the trip to carry equal weight with the golf. The Ancient Town is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and genuinely worth more than a single afternoon. The food scene in Hoi An is one of the better ones in Vietnam, with a concentration of good restaurants within walking distance of the central hotels. Non-golfers have enough to fill three or four days without needing a structured itinerary.

Couples tend to find the Hoi An format more comfortable than Da Nang because the town itself is more compact and easier to navigate on foot. The pace is slower. If your travel partner plays golf occasionally but is not a committed golfer, a mixed itinerary with two rounds and two days of sightseeing works naturally here without anyone feeling like they are compromising.

It also suits golfers visiting Vietnam for the first time who want to experience both the golf and the culture without committing to a multi-city itinerary. Flying into Da Nang, staying in Hoi An, and playing three rounds across the central coast is a clean four to five day trip that covers the main reasons people come to central Vietnam in the first place.
