Founded in the late 19th century, Dalat was the preferred cool-weather retreat of French colonials and Vietnamese royals; the last emperor of Vietnam, Bao Dai, built his summer retreat here. You will enjoy the picturesque, panoramic view from the Tudor style clubhouse and one of the few bent grass in South East Asia. « less

Natural, tough, challenging.. this course has all the right elements for a reasonably player. I stress reasonable because there are some serious hazards and lies which would frustrate the beginner. Mostly, Greg Norman has done an amazing job to make you think as you play - giving you plenty of chances to reward yourself with good shots. One of the... More

Not a very long course overall but the hilly terrain makes the course quite challenging and yet scenic. Strong winds make some holes longer when playing against winds and shorter when wind assisted. Par 3s are longer than 140m; up to 200m. Caddies are quite experienced. 5-10 mins drive from hotels like Dalat Palace and Du Parc. Locker room and... More

The club house is small but adequate but the course is a gem, great layout and was in good condition when we played. Only draw back is that the practice fairway is on the opposite side of the course to the club house and takes a bumpy ride by cart to get there.

Originally built as a 9 hole track in the 1920s, the course was forgotten and overgrown with weeds for several decades until being acquired in the 1990s by an American who had the course restored and expanded to 18 holes. And a beauty it is - an ‘old style’ course that combines parkland and mountain styles. Water and OB come... More

I play off 12 and my wife 19 so we class ourselves as average golfers. We thoroughly enjoyed this course and as the headline indicates, it was challenging but fair - a good mix of holes with plenty of water and bunkers. The greens are great. We walked on both days we played it, which was easy with caddies pulling... More

Handicap 14 golfer here - I played under my handicap as fairway trouble was avoided with most of my drives going 280-300 yards. Course was in good condition...unfortunately the greens were scarred the day I was there :( so I can't really comment on them. Decent size greens. I walked the course with a female caddy who's English was limited... More
