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.
