Golf Course Design & Architecture
The Dalat at 1200 is the result of a collaboration between Peter Rousseau (P&Z Design) and Kyi Hla Han — a Myanmar golf legend and former Chairman of the Asian Tour. This partnership created a golf course that is both breathtakingly beautiful and strategically challenging.
Peter Rousseau brings a design philosophy that respects the natural landscape: preserving streams, waterfalls, ancient pine forests, and the characteristic terraced rice fields of the highlands. Meanwhile, Kyi Hla Han incorporated the most rigorous technical standards of a Championship course, with dramatic elevation changes between holes.
The steep pine hill terrain requires mandatory buggy for all players. Many holes feature tee boxes at very high elevations, allowing for spectacular downhill tee shots (drop shots) but demanding precise calculations of wind and air density.

Golf Tips for The Dalat at 1200
Here are some tips from golfers who have experienced The Dalat at 1200, to help you have a smoother round:
1. Prepare for the ultra-fast Bent Grass greens
The Bent Grass greens here are rated the fastest in Vietnam. Practice putting beforehand at the academy's practice area to get used to the speed. Read your line carefully — one putt too firm and the ball can roll off the green.
2. Account for highland air density
At 1,200m elevation, the ball flies 10–15% farther than at sea level. Adjust your club selection — you may need one less club than usual for the same distance.
3. Choose an early morning tee time
Tee times from 6:30–8:00 AM are ideal. The cool air, light mist, and poetic scenery make for a memorable round, and the greens are at their most consistent before temperatures rise.
4. Bring enough balls — the terrain is challenging
With streams, waterfalls, pine forests, and constant elevation changes, it is recommended to bring at least 9–12 balls. Par 3 holes like hole 3 and hole 8 are particularly "ball-hungry" if you don't control your shots well.
5. Make the most of the buggy and caddie
Buggies are mandatory due to the steep terrain. The caddies here are professionally trained, knowledgeable about slopes and green speed — listen to their advice on club selection and line reading.
6. Combine with a 3-course Dalat golf tour
To maximize your trip, consider a 3-day 2-night Dalat golf tour combining all three courses: Dalat 1200, Dalat Palace, and SAM Tuyen Lam.
