5. MONTHLY TEMPERATURE AND WEATHER GUIDE
Understanding the weather variations in the northern highlands and coastal regions is the golden key to preparing your best physical condition and ensuring a perfect Northern Vietnam Golf Tour journey.
| Month | Temperature (°C) | Course Conditions & Practical Tips |
|---|---|---|
| February - March | 15 - 20 | Light drizzle characteristic of Northern winter-spring, making the turf soft and moist. Golfers should bring extra waterproof gloves and note that the ball will roll less on the Fairway than usual. |
| April - May | 22 - 28 | Golden Season: Dry and crystal-clear skies offer the most perfect 360-degree panoramic view from the hilltop of FLC Ha Long. |
| June - August | 32 - 38 | Intense summer heat. An excellent solution is to take advantage of the night lighting systems at Tuan Chau or Sky Lake to enjoy a relaxing round of golf under the cool evening sea breeze. |
| September - November | 18 - 25 | Extremely pleasant and cool autumn weather. Monsoons from Do Son sea begin to blow strongly, requiring golfers to control their ball spin exceptionally well. |
| December - January | 10 - 15 | Dry and piercingly cold weather. The dense winter air causes the ball to fly 10 - 15 yards shorter than your standard distance. |
