Tam Dao is a good choice for an unhurried round with mountain views outside Hanoi. Ridges stretch behind the course, and the red-roofed clubhouse appears between lakes and bunkers. You can come for 18 holes and a meal, or stay in a room or villa and make golf the focus of your trip.

An 18-hole course in the mountain foothills
Tam Dao is an IMG-designed, 18-hole, par-72 course. Lakes, streams and bunkers sit beneath a mountain backdrop. Even on an open fairway, there is pleasure in choosing a position that leaves you a good next shot.
There are several tee positions, so playing partners with different distances can start where they feel comfortable. You do not have to insist on the back tees. Where water or a bunker lies ahead, leaving a comfortable next shot can be more enjoyable than forcing the carry.
The red-roofed clubhouse, rooms and villas
The red-roofed clubhouse has a restaurant, so your group can eat after the round without heading elsewhere. There is also a driving range and pro shop, and clubs can be rented if you are travelling without your own. Mention whether you need right- or left-handed clubs when booking.
Rooms and villas make it possible to stay at the golf property. That can save trips into the city if you are starting early or playing on consecutive days. The cost depends on whether you book a room alone or a package with breakfast and golf.
A day trip from Hanoi or a night in Tam Dao?
The course is in Tam Dao, northwest of Hanoi. The current province is Phu Tho, although older guides say Vinh Phuc. Send your driver the map location for Tam Dao Golf & Resort. The golf course and the town up in the mountains are different destinations.
If you have evening plans in Hanoi, it is convenient to keep your city hotel and make a day trip. If you would rather spend a few days playing and resting, staying in Tam Dao makes sense. Let the amount of city sightseeing in your trip guide where you sleep.
Thinking about an evening round?
Tam Dao has floodlights on all 18 holes, so you can consider a later round after other daytime plans. Ask how late you can play on your chosen date when booking, and arrange your ride back for after the round.
When asking for a price, first check whether it includes a cart and caddie. Weekdays, weekends and tee times can be priced differently. Once you know whether meals, rental clubs and caddie tips are extra, the budget becomes easier to work out.
