| Although many palm trees are planted all over the course creating
a tropical atmosphere, the course has a modern and refined layout. Since
it is challenging as well as beautiful, you like to come here to play over
and over again. A lot of water hazards and 77 bunkers in total are strategically
and artistically placed. The course was chosen the best course excluding
Saujana CC – Palm Course in Malaysia out of 2000’s golfers poll. |

| The hole was chosen as the most beautiful hole in Malaysia
in the 2002 poll. A lake running along the left side of the fairway crosses
in front of the green. This is a very beautiful hole with a lot of palm
trees and merits its high reputation. |

This hole is beautiful, too, with a natural flavor. A lake extends from
the tee to the left of the green. 3 bunkers guard the green. The two-tiered
green is narrow and 45 yards deep, so if the ball is far away from the flag,
the putt will be difficult. |
| |
|
|
|
A long par 3 over a river. The river runs along the left side of the green
which are protected by bunkers on the right and in the front. The bunker
in the front comes into play. |
| |
|
|
| A creek runs on the right side of the fairway and crosses
in front of the green. This is an excellent par 5 with a well-positioned
lake and bunkers. |
| |
|
|
| |
|
|
| An almost straight hole with a slihgtly uphill tee shot and
a downhill second shot. Two bunkers on the right come into play off the
tee. The green is double-tiered with steep undulation. |
|
|
| |
|
|
| A slihgt dogleg to the left, long par 4. A long and accurate
tee shot is required as water on the left and an OB and bunkers on the right.
The second shot needs to be precise, too, as the deep & narrow green
is protected by steep slopes and concave rough. |
| |
|
|
| |
|
|
|
The green is elevated and protected by 4 bunkers, so the right club selection
directly to reach the green is needed. The green is deep and steeply undulated.
|
| |
|
|
| A double dogleg par 5 with a slight dogleg to the left first
followed by a slight dogleg to the right. Off the tee, you get pressure
from a lake on the right and bunkers on the left. This is a long and tough
par 5 with a gentle uphill on the second shot. You will be impressed by
the sweeping view of the hole, the palms and the clubhouse, which you can
see when you are in the tee. |

|
| It is a 40-minute drive from both Kuala Lumpur and KL International
Airport. Vistiors can book tee-times. Tees to be played from were free to
choose.
