Golf Card offers great discounts in Dalat

The Dalat Palace Golf Club is promoting a recently-launched benefit card scheme to allow customers to enjoy a range of deals and discounts to play golf and enjoy accommodation and services at the 5-star Dalat Palace Hotel and the 4-star Dalat Hotel Du Parc. 

The holder of the Dalat Benefit Card, which retails at US$399 and is valid for a year, will receive big golf discounts, 20% off on rooms and 10% on massage/spa at both hotels, 10% on food and beverage at the golf club, and 10% on merchandise in the golf club pro shop.

“It’s a way of luring people back to Dalat,” said Lan Duong, general manager of the Dalat Palace Golf Club. “The thinking behind the Benefit Card was to offer visitors a value incentive to come up here and discover, or rediscover, what an experience we offer both in terms of the golf course and the hotels.”

The Dalat Palace Golf Club said golf had a presence in the area since the late 1920s, when a 9-hole course was laid out at the behest of Bao Dai, the country’s last emperor and an avid golfer. The course was completely renovated and expanded in 1995, when a new generation of golfers began falling for its mix of holes, landscaping and bent grass greens.

The benefit card has been introduced to encourage people to play and re-play their games. “Not only does the Card offer great value, it also encourages holders to really get acquainted with the place, something that is easier to do over 12 rounds rather than just the occasional visit,” Lan Duong said.
