SAM Tuyen Lam Golf & Resorts

Overview: SAM Tuyen Lam Golf & Resorts is set in the pine-covered highlands around Tuyen Lam Lake, outside Da Lat. Ekistics of Canada designed the 18-hole course, which the operator lists at par 72 and 7,035 yards. The landscape gives the routing a mountain-resort identity, with wooded slopes, open views and the lake country shaping the way holes sit on the land. Elevation and changing lies matter, but the course is not only a test of climbing and descending. Its interest comes from the contrast between broader fairways and greens that reward a precise approach.

History: SAM Tuyen Lam was established as a tourism and resort company in 2009, followed by the opening of the resort in 2013. The golf club officially began operating in 2014, making it one of the later additions to the Da Lat golf area. The surrounding Swiss-Belresort chapter followed in 2015, so the course forms part of a staged lake-district development rather than a standalone club detached from the destination.

Did You Know? The club’s own course information singles out the fourth hole as an impressive par three. That detail fits the wider character of Tuyen Lam, where the changing elevation and highland views give short holes an outsized visual presence. The course also lists 58 sand bunkers and Bermuda and Bentgrass surfaces, a combination that reflects both its mountain setting and its maintained resort presentation.
