Despite its position as a small city in Vietnam’s Southern Central Highlands Dalat remains unrecognized among top golfing destinations. The history of golf in Dalat extends back to 1922 when French colonialists constructed the Dalat Palace Golf Club which now stands as one of Asia’s most renowned golf courses.
As a hill station established by the French the city enabled them to construct villas to avoid Saigon’s oppressive heat and coastal humidity. The area now features hills blanketed with pine trees alongside lakes while larger mountains stand behind it. The climate features pleasant warm days alongside cool nights. Summer months bring daily rain which usually clears up rapidly.
Dalat functions as an ideal stopover for golfers traveling north or south while also being suitable for one or two-day excursions from Ho Chi Minh City. Dalat provides visitors with cooler temperatures along with clear mountain air and beautiful scenery while showcasing French colonial architectural designs.
Dalat features three golf courses with the Dalat Palace Golf Club standing out as the most famous among them. The Second World War and the Vietnam War both led to its abandonment before its renovation in 1994. Experts rank this course among Vietnam’s finest. SAM Tuyen Lam Golf Resort represents the latest golfing destination in Dalat which combines stunning landscapes with refreshing mountain breezes to deliver an exciting golfing experience.
