Da Lat (Highland Golf Experience)
— CENTRAL HIGHLANDS OF VIETNAM —
Da Lat
A city wrapped in pine mist and French memory — where the fairways climb
above the clouds, and time keeps a slower, gentler hour.
— ♦ —
Perched at over fifteen hundred metres above sea level, Da Lat has long been Vietnam’s quiet retreat — a place of cool air, alpine pine, and colonial villas softened by morning mist. For the discerning golfer, it offers something rarer still: three distinct championship courses set against the country’s most poetic terrain, each a different chapter in the highland story.
CHAPTER ONE
The Highland Fairways
01
THE HERITAGE COURSE
Dalat Palace Golf Club
Established 1922 — the soul of Vietnamese golf
Originally built for Emperor Bao Dai, Dalat Palace remains the most historic golf course in Vietnam. An 18-hole, Par 72 layout stretching 7,009 yards, it is the only course in the country featuring premium Bentgrass from tees to greens — a perfect, glass-smooth putting surface. The design follows the natural contours of the hills and pine forests, offering a classic French Established 1922 — the soul of Vietnamese golf colonial atmosphere with a direct view of Xuan Huong Lake. The clubhouse is world-renowned for its aristocratic, vintage style.

THE SERENE VALLEY
SAM Tuyen Lam Golf Club
A private valley, hidden in mist
Set in the heart of the Tuyen Lam Lake tourism area, this 18-hole, Par 72 layout covers 7,035 yards across a deep, sheltered valley — a private and quiet environment, completely separated from the city’s hum. The terrain is highly undulating, with strategic bunkers and water hazards that test a golfer’s accuracy. The cool mountain air and morning mist often create a poetic scenery, and a luxury Swiss-style resort sits on the property itself, ideal for unhurried, high-end relaxation.

CHAPTER THREE
The Streams of Da Lat
A Highland Symphony — three movements of water, woven into the soul of the mountains.

Peaceful,minimalist, and perfect for a soulful retreat where one listens more than speaks.
