#1[Laos] Long Vien Golf ClubView course Vientiane suits golfers who want a calmer local setting than Thailand’s resort-heavy golf circuit. Mekong-side scenery, tropical palms and an easy city rhythm make it possible to combine golf with temples, cafés and a slower Laos holiday. If it is your first Vientiane golf trip, compare the hotel transfer, tee time and caddie or cart inclusions as carefully as the course name. Golfers adding Laos after Thailand should treat border or airport travel as its own journey rather than promising a same-day 18-hole start.
For a budget-friendly Laos golf holiday, choose between a longer 27-hole day at Long Vien and convenient 18-hole rounds closer to the city, then plan morning golf around transfer time and leave room for the city or Mekong area. Green fees, caddie, cart, club rental, transfers, tee times and operating conditions can change by date and product, so confirm the latest booking terms on each detail page before finalizing your budget.
The list helps budget-conscious travelers compare more than a green fee, including caddie, cart, club rental and transfer conditions.
Hotel location, tee time and transport can shape the real cost of a golf day, so check the route and inclusions before booking.
Mekong scenery, tropical gardens and a relaxed local rhythm give Vientiane a character distinct from Thailand’s large resort courses.

Vientiane Golf
Best forA balanced first round in Vientiane
Long Vien Golf Club is a 27-hole option about 20 km from Vientiane, with a lake-and-forest character on the East nine and more open fairways and bunkers on the West side. It works well as a first Laos round or a varied 9-hole combination; confirm tee times, any floodlit operation, transport and inclusions.

Vientiane Golf
Best forLocal atmosphere and value-focused golf
An 18-hole parkland round over gentle terrain, closer to an easygoing local course than a polished resort layout. Caddie, cart and practice-ground operation can shift with the season, so settle on your budget and hotel route first, then verify the course's current condition.

Vientiane Golf
Best forA sports-course feel and a different Laos round
Built for the 25th Southeast Asian Games, this 27-hole venue is a different scale from Vientiane's typical 18-hole rounds. Because it was purpose-built for the Games, the operating hole combination and course condition can vary by season - confirm the tee time and transport arrangements before booking.

Vientiane Golf
Best forResort-style golf paired with a Mekong itinerary
An 18-hole resort round set against the Mekong's slower scenery, better suited to a trip built around downtime than city sightseeing. Weigh whether the round, accommodation and meals are bundled together and how long the pick-up transfer runs before deciding.

Rank6
Vientiane Golf
Best forA quieter itinerary and practical Laos golf value
An outer-city option for golfers who want a quieter, less crowded 18 holes than the central-Vientiane courses. The drive from a city hotel can run long, so check the transfer time from your starting point, the green fee, caddie and cart, and current local operation on the detail page before adding it to your itinerary.
