Kota Permai Golf & Country Club
|
 Kota Permai Golf and Country Club was opened for play in 1998 and was the home of the previous Volvo Masters of Malaysia for four years, and its forerunner the Volvo Masters of Asia in 2002 and 2004. Designed by Australian architect Ross Watson, the championship layout has a challenging mix of holes to test the very best of golfers. The course was the stage for the Fortis International Challenge in 2007 as it will now serve as the platform for the 2008 Maybank Malaysian Open.This course is all about superb layout and excellent facilities. This immaculately Watson-designed is stimulating and challenging, and has been the venue for the prestigious Volvo Masters of Malaysia for the last few years. Kota Permai is easily accessible via the KESAS highway and just a 10 minute drive from Subang Jaya as it is part of the new township of Kota Kemuning. Take note of its interesting mix of grasses - the greens are typically Tifdwarf, while the fairways are turffed with "Matrella", a strain of Zoysia. The 6896 yards, par 72 Valley Course features a tremendous amount of water, especially at the 549 yard downhill par 5, fourth where crossing a diagonal stream with your second shot is of utmost importance in order to approach an island green. Expect some nightmarish putting as most of the greens are tricky slopes and surprising breaks, with aesthetic value added by the railway sleepers shoring up the sides of a number pf greenside bunkers. |
