Bringing your own clubs to Vietnam means paying $50-100 in airline baggage fees each way, risking damage, and lugging a travel bag through airports. Or — you can rent a full set at any major Vietnamese course for $15-40 per round. This golf club rental Vietnam guide covers costs, quality, availability, and when renting makes more sense than bringing your own.
Quick answer: Every championship course in Vietnam offers club rental ($15-40/set). Quality ranges from decent to excellent. For trips under 7 days, renting saves money and hassle.

How to Rent Golf Clubs in Vietnam
Step 1: Contact the course pro shop 24-48 hours before your tee time (email or phone).
Step 2: Specify: right/left-handed, men’s/women’s, and preferred brand if available.
Step 3: Pay at the pro shop on arrival — cash (VND) or card accepted at championship courses.
Step 4: Test the clubs on the practice range before your round — swap out any clubs that don’t feel right.
What About Golf Shoes?
Most courses don’t rent shoes. Bring your own or buy a pair in Vietnam — Adidas and Nike golf shoes are available at Vincom Mall in Da Nang/Hanoi for $60-100 (cheaper than home). In a pinch, clean sneakers with good grip are accepted at 80% of courses.

Rental Club Quality by Brand & Course
Not all golf club rental Vietnam options are equal. Premium courses stock current-generation clubs; budget courses may have 2-3 year old models. Here’s what to expect at each major course — this matters because a 3-year-old driver versus a current model is 10-15 yards of distance.
| Course | Rental Brand | Model Year | Quality | Cost |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Hoiana Shores | Callaway Rogue ST / TaylorMade Stealth | 2023-2024 | 9/10 | $35-40 |
| BRG Da Nang | TaylorMade SIM2 / Callaway Epic | 2022-2023 | 8.5/10 | $30-35 |
| Montgomerie Links | Callaway Mavrik / TaylorMade M6 | 2021-2022 | 7.5/10 | $25-30 |
| Ba Na Hills | TaylorMade Stealth / Titleist TSi | 2022-2024 | 8.5/10 | $30-40 |
| BRG Kings Island | Callaway Epic / TaylorMade SIM | 2021-2022 | 7.5/10 | $25-35 |
| Van Tri | Mixed brands | 2020-2022 | 7/10 | $20-25 |
| FLC Ha Long | TaylorMade / Callaway (basic) | 2020-2022 | 6.5/10 | $20-30 |
Bring vs Rent: The Break-Even Calculation
Airlines charge $50-100 each way for golf bag luggage. That’s $100-200 round-trip. Golf club rental Vietnam costs $20-40 per round. The math: if you’re playing 4+ rounds, bring your clubs (break-even at $100 airline fee ÷ $25 avg rental = 4 rounds). Under 4 rounds? Rent every time. Factor in the convenience of no heavy bag at airports and the answer is even clearer.
⛳ Dave’s Practical Tip: Flying to Vietnam? Get a travel eSIM from Klook ($5-8, unlimited data) so you can call the pro shop and check rental availability before you arrive. Also book your airport transfer via Klook — way easier with luggage.
