The Sam Tuyen Lam golf and resort complex is nestled between a valley and the primeval pine forest of the Lam Vien plateau, within the Ho Tuyen Lam national tourist area in Da Lat Ward, Lam Dong. Operating since 2014, the venue is praised for its fresh, green environment.
The 18-hole golf course (par 72, 7,035 yards long) is embraced by the valley and primeval pine forest. Designed by CT Ekistics (Canada), it follows the natural terrain to create a unique identity. Specifically, the golf holes wind along pine hillsides, with many elevated positions offering golfers panoramic views of Ho Tuyen Lam and its pine ridges.
"We preserved most of the natural landscape, making each round of golf a journey through nature, challenging skills while providing the distinctive visual impressions of the vast forest", a company representative shared.

On digital platforms, many visitors commend Sam Tuyen Lam for its integrated ecosystem, combining golf with accommodation, dining, and relaxation activities in one journey. The company collaborates with the international hotel management brand Swiss-Belhotel International, operating the Swiss-Belresort Tuyen Lam section with over 150 rooms.
Additionally, the Sam Tuyen Lam Resort section offers resort choices with lakeside villas, focusing on privacy and closeness to nature.
"This combined model extends the golfer's journey of discovery – from playing golf to a complete vacation, adding options for families and friends who do not play the sport", the representative noted. This approach aligns with the prevailing trend in golf tourism, which focuses on destinations that integrate accommodation, relaxation, and local experiences.
