Dalat Palace Golf Club
Đà Lạt
Dalat Palace Golf Club is one of Vietnam’s most historic and atmospheric golf courses, set in the cool Central Highlands city of Da Lat. Positioned close to Xuan Huong Lake and surrounded by pine-covered hills, it offers a completely different feel from Vietnam’s coastal golf destinations. The club’s factsheet places the course right in Da Lat city centre, along Xuan Huong Lake, which makes it very convenient for golfers staying locally.
The course dates back to 1922 and was later reopened in 1994 after design improvements, giving it a rare heritage feel within Vietnam golf. Its history is closely linked with Da Lat’s early city planning and Emperor Bao Dai, who helped bring the game to the area after discovering golf in France.
For golfers, Dalat Palace is an 18-hole, par-72 course with a classic parkland character, lake features on many holes and views across the surrounding hills. It is also notable for its Bentgrass playing surfaces, which are unusual in Vietnam and suit Da Lat’s cooler climate.
As part of a Vietnam golf holiday, Dalat Palace works well for golfers who want contrast. It pairs beautifully with coastal destinations such as Nha Trang, Cam Ranh, Da Nang or Phú Quốc, but brings cooler air, French-influenced architecture, lakeside scenery and a more relaxed mountain-city feel. Hashtag Golf Travel can help plan the right flights, hotels, internal transfers and tee times, creating a Vietnam itinerary with real variety rather than just another beach resort stay.

About The Area
Đà Lạt is one of Vietnam’s most distinctive golf destinations, offering a cooler, greener alternative to the country’s beach resorts. Set in the Central Highlands, it is known for pine forests, lakes, waterfalls, mountain views and a gentler climate, which makes it especially appealing for golfers who prefer fresh air over tropical heat. Vietnam’s tourism board highlights the area’s forests, mirror-like lakes and cloud-covered scenery, giving the destination a completely different feel from Nha Trang, Cam Ranh or Phú Quốc.
The headline course is Dalat Palace Golf Club, one of Vietnam’s most historic golf venues. The club’s own information lists the course at 6,596 yards, with a Bent grass layout that attracts international golfers. Independent course-history sources also note that golf in Đà Lạt dates back to the early 20th century, giving it a rare heritage angle for Vietnam golf holidays.
Another strong option is SAM Tuyền Lâm Golf Club, set in the valley of Tuyền Lâm Lake National Tourist Area. The club describes it as an 18-hole international-standard course of more than 7,200 yards, surrounded by hills, pine forest and lakeside scenery. It gives golfers a more modern highland resort feel, with Swiss-Belresort nearby for a stay-and-play style setup.
Away from golf, Đà Lạt works brilliantly for a longer Vietnam itinerary. Travellers can add coffee farms, flower gardens, waterfalls, cable-car rides, hiking, canyoning, lake trips and relaxed evenings in the town centre. For Hashtag Golf Travel customers, Đà Lạt is best suited to a scenic Vietnam golf holiday, a cooler-climate escape, or a twin-centre trip with Nha Trang, Cam Ranh or Ho Chi Minh City.
