Dalat Palace Golf Club
Da Lat, Vietnam
Dalat Palace Golf Club
Dalat Palace Golf Club is Vietnam's oldest and most renowned golf course, with its origins dating back to the 1920s when it was built as a 9-hole layout with support from Bao Dai, the last emperor of Vietnam. The course was originally conceived by the acclaimed design team of Colt and Alison (Charles H. Alison and Harry S. Colt), though it was significantly redesigned by IMG Golf Course Design Services in 1994. Overlooking the famous Xuan Huong Lake, Dalat Palace offers an optimal golfing environment in the charming and nostalgic city of Dalat. Due to the colder climate in the mountains (1,500 meters elevation), this is the only golf course in Southeast Asia featuring bent grass tees, fairways, and greens - the same grass species used at courses like Augusta National. The 18 inventive holes wind through mature pine forests with the colonial-era Dalat Palace Hotel providing a stunning backdrop. The combination of historic significance, unique grass conditions, and scenic beauty makes this a bucket-list course for golf enthusiasts visiting Vietnam.

SAM Tuyen Lam Golf Club
Da Lat, Vietnam
SAM Tuyen Lam Golf Club
SAM Tuyen Lam Golf Club, formerly known as Sacom Tuyen Lam Golf Course, has been in operation since May 2014. The 18-hole course spans over 7,200 yards and is designed to international standards, being the first in the region to feature a fully integrated service system. Located in the east of Tuyen Lam Lake tourist area, the course benefits from valley topography surrounded by sloping hills and primeval pine forests. The 18 holes serve as the center and heart of the valley, creating a dramatic and secluded golf setting unique to the Da Lat highlands. The cool highland climate (similar to Dalat Palace) provides comfortable playing conditions year-round, particularly appealing during Vietnam's hot summer months. The combination of modern course design within pristine natural surroundings has made SAM Tuyen Lam a popular addition to Da Lat's golf offerings.

The Dalat at 1200 Country Club
Da Lat, Vietnam
The Dalat at 1200 Country Club
The Dalat at 1200 Country Club opened in November 2015 as the third golf course in Da Lat, designed as a par-73 championship course by Kyi Hla Han, renowned Myanmar-born designer and current Chairman of the Asian Tour. Peter Rousseau (P&Z Design) also contributed to the project. The alpine course sprawls across 2,100 acres of hilly pine tree forest with a 450-acre natural spring-fed lake at its center. Located between 1,050 and 1,500 meters above sea level, the climate is ideal for Bentgrass greens and Bermuda fairways. Kyi Hla Han created a beautiful layout using natural elevations, pine trees, and streams as features and obstacles. The Dalat at 1200 holds the distinction of being the first officially sanctioned Asian Tour destination. The course features Bent Grass aprons and greens with Bermuda 419 fairways and rough, providing excellent year-round playing conditions in the cool highland climate.
