Choose a destination by your style

How many days should you plan?

◆ 3 nights / 4 days: focus on one cluster (say Da Nang or Da Lat), play 2–3 rounds and still have time to relax — the most popular pattern for Korean golfers.
◆ 4–5 days: combine two bases (Da Nang + Hoi An, or Nha Trang + Da Lat) and play 4–5 rounds across different course types.
◆ Golf + resort: Phu Quoc or Nha Trang — golf in the morning, beach in the afternoon; ideal for families and friends.
