Diamond Bay Golf
Nha Trang
Diamond Bay Golf is an eye-catching coastal course positioned between the mountains and sea near Nha Trang. Its tropical scenery and unusual practice facilities make it a memorable addition to a golf holiday in Vietnam.
Designed by Andy Dye III and opened in 2010, the 18-hole championship course measures 7,244 yards and plays to a par of 72. The layout covers approximately 76 hectares, with holes passing through natural marshland, pine trees and sandy dunes. White bunkers stand out against the green Platinum TE Paspalum playing surfaces, while several parts of the course offer views across Nha Trang Bay.
The championship length provides a strong test from the back tees, but Diamond Bay is about more than distance. Wetlands, bunkers and coastal terrain place a premium on accuracy, sensible club selection and keeping the ball in play. The exposed setting also means the sea breeze can influence both shot shape and distance, adding another decision to approaches and longer holes.
One of the club’s most distinctive features is its “hit-to-sea” driving range. Golfers practise towards floating targets in a sheltered bay, with more than 40 indoor and outdoor hitting positions. There are also putting, chipping and pitching areas, practice bunkers, coaching and floodlights for evening sessions.
Diamond Bay Golf works particularly well alongside the other courses around Nha Trang and Cam Ranh. For UK golfers, it is best suited to a longer Vietnam golf holiday combining several rounds with beach time, sightseeing and a stay in Nha Trang.

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.
