We planned a 13 day golf trip across Bangkok, Hua Hin, and Phuket through Golfasian. The entire process was extremely smooth and we deeply appreciate the support provided by Ms Jaja both before and during our trip.

Great experience from Golfasian

Pak Bagus took my booking and inquiries, then reverted with an itinenary. After a small tweak, confirmation was send, and a pament link came which was easy to execute

Upon arrival, we were greeted by Pak Bob who took care us throughout our stay.
From the daiyly pick-up, the golf registrations and taking some photos, he did it all

Even on our departure, Pak Bob checked us in at the airline counter and took us all the way to Security check/Immigration

Totally pleased with their service

Will definitely book more golf trips soon with them

Ho Chi Minh, 3 days of golf - This was a five-star experience from start to finish. The communication throughout the booking process for our golf, accommodation, and any questions we had was excellent. Tyler was always responsive, professional, and happy to help.

While the accommodation was great, the main reason for our trip was the golf, and all three courses exceeded expectations. My personal favourite was Tan Son Nhat Golf Course, which was absolutely immaculate and a pleasure to play.

From the tour guide and driver to the caddies at each course, everything was organised seamlessly. It really is the best way to arrange a golf trip and took all the stress out of planning.

The lads and I thoroughly enjoyed the entire experience, and we'll definitely be booking with Golfasian again, hopefully in the not-too-distant future.

A big thank you to Tyler, Kieron, Khoa and Bao and the whole team at Golfasian for delivering such a memorable golf trip. Highly recommended! ⛳🏌️‍♂️

My wife and I recently visited Vietnam and had time to just one round of golf. Mery from Golfasian made sure every detail was taken care of and checked in multiple times leading up to our round at Silk Path Dong Trieu (which was incredible). After planning a complicated two week holiday in Vietnam, Mery’s support and expertise was so appreciated and eased our minds knowing that everything was taken care of. Thank you, Mery!

Just returned from a 10 day golf experience with a group of friends in Thailand. This was our first time using Golfasian and it will not be the last. From the initial organisation of the trip and dates with Darren, to the trip itself, everything was just simple. Everything was catered for and at a very reasonable price. Would highly recommend.

Outstanding Golf Trip to Danang with Golfasian

Our group of four recently returned from a fantastic 5-day golf trip to Danang, Vietnam, organized through Golfasian—and we couldn’t be more pleased with the experience.

Out of many tour companies we considered, Golfasian stood out right away due to their prompt and professional communication. Huy, our coordinator, was exceptional from start to finish—friendly, efficient, and extremely accommodating. He crafted a well-thought-out itinerary and quickly provided great alternative options when we wanted to make changes. Every golf course he recommended was excellent.

Our driver, Quoc Kenn, was another highlight of the trip. He was punctual, courteous, and drove us around in a clean, comfortable, and spacious van—which stayed with us for the duration of the trip, including airport transfers.

We also added a day tour, and our guide Quy was phenomenal—knowledgeable, personable, and engaging. If we’d had more time, we would’ve loved to take additional tours with him.

One major hiccup was with our visa situation—we discovered the night before our flight that, as U.S. citizens, we needed visas to enter Vietnam. Thankfully, Huy came through again, assisting us with expedited processing so we didn’t have to cancel the trip. While the cost was high and the oversight was on our end, we do wish Golfasian had highlighted this requirement again during the booking process, especially since they collect nationality details.

Despite that, the overall experience was outstanding. Huy and the Golfasian team were reliable and incredibly helpful throughout. I would absolutely recommend them and look forward to booking our next Asia golf adventure with them.

Third year in a row we used them for our trips to the Orient. Thailand, Cambodiam and Vietnam have all been amazing places to visit. We leave the cold weather in the states behind and let Darren and his team handle everything. They put us on the best courses Asia has to offer and the whole team at Golf Asia are so thoughtful, diligent and each trip has unfold seamlessly.

Just got back from a fantastic golf and touring holiday to Chiang Mai, Thailand. Golfasian worked with us to provide a terrific selection of golf courses and touring in the area. From start to finish, they were a pleasure to work with. Great communication before our tour and the dedicated staff (Thank you Vichit and Troy) on site made for a wonderful experience. Already looking forward to working with you again!

Mixed experience, though still lots of good. Guy my group first interacted with was professional and got us the courses we wanted. Very good, clear communication. The Senior Sales & Reservations Executive who we were handed off to was a bit less helpful. We had questions about airport transport due to different arrival times which was not covered in our confirmation email, which she did nothing to attempt to resolve. We felt the communicating was done in not the most polite manner. The van we were provided with was not the most comfortable and old, which seemed suboptimal given what we paid for our package. That said, the driver was a total champ and very punctual - he did a terrific job and was a nice guy. Also on the plus side, the courses were nice. So our group’s consensus - definitely some good here, but some room for improvement, particularly on the communication side.
