Two countries. Six championship rounds. One of Asia's great golf journeys. The Vietnam + Thailand dual-destination circuit is the trip serious golfers plan for years — and the itinerary AGS designs more than any other single request.
What follows is our benchmark 10-day blueprint: 5 nights in Da Nang / Hoi An anchored by Hoiana Shores and Ba Na Hills, connecting through Bangkok, then 4 nights in Hua Hin at Black Mountain and Pineapple Valley. Every element is adjustable.
The Routing
Day 6 (Transit): Morning flight Da Nang → Bangkok Suvarnabhumi → Private transfer to Hua Hin (2.5 hours) → Resort check-in, welcome dinner
Day 7–9 (Thailand): Golf: Black Mountain (Day 7), Pineapple Valley golf club (Day 8), Springfield Royal or rest day (Day 9)
Day 10 (Departure): Transfer to Bangkok → International departure to Australia
Vietnam Leg: Da Nang 5-Night Circuit
Day 1: Arrival at Da Nang
Arrive Da Nang International Airport. Private transfer to An Bang villa. Check-in, pool time, settle in. Welcome dinner at the An Bang beach strip — The Beach Bar or Streets Restaurant for the freshest produce Vietnam has to offer.
Day 2: Round 1 — Hoiana Shores Golf Club
7:00am tee time at Hoiana Shores — Vietnam's undisputed number one and the centrepiece of any Da Nang trip. Trust the caddies on this course; local knowledge is essential on the links-influenced layout. Lunch at the Hoiana clubhouse, afternoon at the villa, dinner in Hoi An Ancient Town.
Day 3: Round 2 — BRG Norman Course
Greg Norman's accessible resort layout offers the contrast to Hoiana Shores' demanding links challenge. Wide fairways, excellent conditioning, strong caddie service. Afternoon: optional spa at the Four Seasons Nam Hai or Banyan Tree.
Day 4: Cultural Day
Hoi An Ancient Town sunrise, Red Bridge Cooking School, Thu Bon River boat trip, or My Son morning tour. The cultural day ensures the group arrives in Thailand refreshed rather than fatigued from 5 consecutive golf days.
Day 5: Ba Na Hills Night Golf (Farewell Vietnam)
Morning: villa pool. Afternoon: private transfer to Ba Na Hills. 5:30pm tee time — the Vietnam finale under floodlights at 1,500m elevation. Return to villa. Farewell Vietnam dinner.
Thailand Leg: Hua Hin 4-Night Circuit
Day 6: Transit — Da Nang → Bangkok → Hua Hin
Morning flight to Bangkok (typically 2 hours). AGS private transfer meets you at Suvarnabhumi for the 2.5-hour coach to Hua Hin. Check in to your Hua Hin resort (Chiva-Som, Intercontinental, or Evason recommended). Evening: Hua Hin Night Market for local seafood.
Day 7: Round 4 — Black Mountain Golf Club
Black Mountain is Thailand's finest course and the anchor of every AGS Hua Hin circuit. The Black Mountain backdrop, undulating fairways, and exceptional caddie team make this a week-highlight contender even after Hoiana Shores. Morning round, clubhouse lunch, afternoon recovery at the resort spa.
Day 8: Round 5 — Pineapple Valley golf club
Pineapple Valley provides the natural Black Mountain pairing — elevated tee boxes, Gulf of Thailand views, and Schmidt-Curley design that rewards the strategic player. Morning round, afternoon at leisure. Farewell dinner: Hua Hin waterfront.
Day 9: Rest / Optional Round 6 — Springfield Royal
Jack Nicklaus design — the third piece of the Hua Hin championship triple. Or: morning at the Hua Hin beach, afternoon transfer to Bangkok for the final night before departure.
Day 10: Departure
Private transfer Bangkok → Suvarnabhumi → International departure. Melbourne, Sydney, or Perth direct with Thai Airways or Qantas codeshare.
