The jewel in Vietnam's golf crown

SINCE breaking ground in December 2013, the 800-hectare The Dàlat at 1200 Country Club and Private Estate (www.dalat1200.com) has developed into a superb lifestyle destination offering first-class golf, accommodation and outdoor activities. It has also had international recognition - Dà Lat was named in the Top 30 of The New York Times' "52 Places to Go in 2016" wherein The Dàlat at 1200 was recommended as one of the must-visit places.

Set in the South Central Highlands of Vietnam, The Dàlat at 1200 is named after the location's altitude at 1,200 metres above sea level. The "eternal spring" climate with a dry, mean temperature of 22 degrees Celsius in Dà Lat makes it suited to year-round golf, outdoor activities and designer hill-station living.

The 18-hole championship course was designer Kyi Hla Han's first creation and is also the first and flagship Asian Tour Destination. The Dàlat at 1200 also features an Asian Tour Performance Golf Institute, the first Asian Tour Players' Academy which was completed last month.
