Water from the first tee shot, hills behind every green.
Dai Lai sits at the foot of the Ngoc Thanh hills beside Dai Lai Lake, less than 40 km north of Hanoi and about half an hour from Noi Bai airport. Older listings call it Dai Lai Star Golf & Country Club; the club now trades as Dai Lai Golf Club, and the old website address forwards to the new one. It has 27 holes, a range, its own hotel and lights that keep the course open until 22:30, and it has long been a weekend favourite for Hanoi players who want lakeside golf without a long drive.
Dai Lai Star Golf & Country Club green fees and tee times.
Visitors book directly. The website has a booking form where you choose date, time, number of players and 9, 18, 27 or 36 holes, and the team calls back to confirm; the hotlines are +84 211 629 2222 and +84 869 388 388 and the email booking@dailaigolf.com.vn. Under the club rules, non-members can book weekend and holiday tee times up to seven days ahead, while guests of the club hotel can book 30 days ahead through hotel reservations. Cancel at least 48 hours ahead for weekdays and five days ahead for weekends. Travel agents with contracts must book 15 days ahead. The monthly price list is posted as an image; the November 2026 sheet is summarised below. KKday also sells the green fee as a prepaid package.

The round, in perspective.
Where2Golf dates the club to 2010 and credits LinksShape with the design. It now plays as three nines, A, B and C, and water is everywhere. On the club’s own notes for the B nine, the first tee shot must carry 140 to 160 yards of lake; a hook that crosses the road is almost certainly lost, and a slice finds more water. The second is stroke index one, a 451-yard par four from the black tees. The sixth is blind, played from a hilltop tee about 40 metres up over an orchard to a steeply sloping green. The eighth is a 192-yard par three to an island green, and the ninth is the longest hole at 584 yards with water down the whole right side.

Make the trip work.
Ask for the B nine if you want the holes described above, and carry a spare ball or two for the water-ringed first and the island eighth. The November 2026 sheet also lists a ladies’ rate on Tuesdays and Fridays (₫1,550,000 for 18 holes) and a rate for players aged 60 and over on Thursdays (₫1,650,000). The meal coupon covers a lunch buffet from 10:15 to 14:30 or a dinner buffet from 17:30 to 20:30 in the clubhouse.
The club is in Xuan Hoa ward, Phu Tho province (formerly Phuc Yen), less than 40 km north of central Hanoi and close to National Highway 2; allow around an hour from the Old Quarter. Noi Bai International Airport (HAN) is roughly 30 minutes away. Hire a car and driver; public transport does not reach the gate.
The Dai Lai Golf Club Hotel, opened in November 2019, has 30 rooms on the property. Its rate sheet lists deluxe doubles at ₫700,000 a night, weekday or weekend, and premier suites from ₫2,900,000, with breakfast noodles or pho and bottled water included for overnight guests. Larger lakeside resorts line Dai Lai Lake for families, and Hanoi is close enough for a day trip.
Make a trip of it.
Legend Hill in Soc Son is about 30 minutes east and makes a strong two-course weekend with Dai Lai. Off the course, Dai Lai Lake has a sandy swimming beach and boat hire, and the Tam Dao hill station, a cooler French-era retreat, is about an hour’s drive further north.
Find your season.
October to December offers the steadiest weather around the lake, with clear mornings and low humidity. January to March is cooler and can be misty, with drizzle that softens the course. Summer is hot and wet, and the club itself publishes advice on avoiding heat stroke on its fairways; the 15:00 rates and the lights suit an evening round then.
The club’s former address, dailaistargolf.com.vn, now forwards to dailaigolf.com.vn, which describes the same 27-hole course beside Dai Lai Lake. Most international directories still use the Dai Lai Star name.
