My buddy from San Jose brought his wife, two kids (8 and 12), and his mother-in-law on what he called a “golf trip.” Three rounds at Montgomerie Links for him — and somehow everyone else had the best week of their lives. That’s the secret of Vietnam golf travel: the family activities near Vietnam golf courses are so good, nobody cares that you’re on the course for five hours.

⛳ Dave’s Family Hack: Book your tee time at 6:30 AM. You’ll finish by 11:30. Your family takes a Hoi An morning tour (starting 8 AM) — you all meet for lunch at Cargo Club in Hoi An at noon. Nobody waits, nobody compromises. I’ve done this exact play four times.
