This is my second time using their services and they are an awesome company. They take all the anxiety out of planning from being on the other side of the world for me, from Canada.

Very smooth experience. Booking was efficient. The agent was very responsive and offered a great recommendation for the hotel. Golf bookings were done as requested, no issue when we got to the courses. The driver was always punctual, the car was comfortable. And the price was competitive too.

Recently, had a solo trip to Danang and wanted to play two round. I needed help to arrange the trip and suggestions for solo play. I must say. The overall trip went well and the courses suggested were amazing. Can only highly recommend reaching out to GolfAsian for any type of golf trip. Big thanks to Mery for all the services.

I fully recommend Golfasian. I have used Golfasian a few times with great success and stress free organising golf trips for a small group (8) of golfers. Just returned from Hoi An Vietnam with memories and experiences to enjoy. Betty and her team at Golfasian were awesome. Nothing was to many trouble. The detail and variety of assistance helped eliminate any uncertainty and turned the experience into a comfortable and seamless process. Thank you Golfasian for another wonderful experience.
