ITINERARY: HANOI & CENTRAL COAST
Introduction
On this 8-night, golf-and-culture extravaganza, you’ll go from Vietnam's capital, Hanoi, up to the scenic Central Coast, where you'll tee it up at three of the best courses in all of Asia including links-style gems designed by Sir Nick Faldo, Greg Norman and Robert Trent Jones, Jr.
Between rounds, you’ll experience the finest in Vietnamese hospitality (in the form of hotels and resorts that have been hailed by some of the world’s leading authorities on travel) and cuisine (through custom tours and private dinners you'll never forget).
Day 1: Arrive Hanoi
Fly into Hanoi (HAN) and, if arriving in the morning, enjoying a leisurely day getting acclimated to the time difference. If arriving in the evening, get a good night's rest so you're ready to explore Vietnam's vibrant capital the next day.
