Vietnam was one of the first countries in Asia to create high quality golf courses, including the last Emperors' private 9 hole course in Dalat in the 1920s. There are currently 14 golf courses in Vietnam, with more to come. This 10-day tour features four of the best-designed courses, including one designed by three-time U.S. Open champion, Nick Faldo. This tour also has included time to visit magnificent Halong Bay, as well as the idyllic seaside resort of Phan Thiet. |
