GOLF IN HANOI,VIETNAM

October was hot and warm in Vietnam, both in Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh and great for golf. I was tempted to have a few rounds during my recent trip to both cities in October, 2014. In Hanoi, I played the Hanoi Golf Club located close to the airport so that we could play immediately after arriving at the airport.

A sweet thing waited for us at the airport with a Mercedes Commuter van and after loading our tools, off we went to the club which was nearly 45 minutes drive from the airport, GOD blessed Vietnam drivers for going so slow, not allowed to exceed 60 km/hour they said, Communist country loved their population.


Arriving at Hanoi golf Club and booked our tee-off times with the help of our golf agent, very little English was spoken. As we were hungry after the flight from KL, we entered the restaurant only to find nothing 'halal' there so we bought some bread instead and bottled drinks.


I did not take many photos of the golf course but it surely a great course to play,




The journey to the city and our hotel in Hanoi was tiring and we reached about 8 pm. We have a group dinner at the Hanoi Club where they have a driving range and people hit balls into the lake, the food was nice as the master chef was from Johore Bahru, so did have a great halal food there.
