Vietnam’s last Emperor Vietnam, Bao Dai used to play frequently on the Dalat Palace Golf Course in the centre of this highland course in southern Central Vietnam. It was once rated Vietnam’s premium course, but more recently, newer courses designed by international golfing luminaries have surpassed this heritage course. What the course lacks in celebrity golf design is well and truly made up in its heritage layout dating back to 1922. Golfers enjoy a round of golf here in the crispy cool mountain air.
