A'Famosa Golf Resort
Everything
about the state-of-the-art A'Famosa Resort is extraordinary. You'll realise
that when you see its magnificent 3-6 hole golf course. Designed by the
world renowned Ross C. Watson, it is uniquely crafted to take advantage of
the terrain's nature contours - so that, in a setting of lakes, tropical
flora and beautiful landscaping, you are faced with the delightful prospect
of challenging yourself as never before.
The Golfers' Paradise is affiliated with Saujana Golf & Country Club,
the Senior Golfer's Association and the SAFRA Resort Country Club in
Singapore.
Rocky Nine
Named for the prolific presence of boulder outcrops which serve both
aesthetic and penal functions, this 3,182-metre grouping of holes plays
outwards from the clubhouse up to the resort's boundary with the North-South
Highway, then back to the clubhouse. The signature fourth hole is a
boulder-strewn par 5 which plays parallel to the highway on the left.
Palm Nine
The palm nine is thus named due to the prolific presence of tall coconut
trees which line the fairway perimeters. Picturesque and challenging, this
nine hole tract is the longest of the trio, measuring 3,215 metres from the
back markers. The signature hole is the par 5 fourth, which demands a
spectacular water carry for the approach to a diagonally angled greensite.
Crocodile Nine
A' Famosa's shortest and newest nine-hole loop plays towards the "Water
World" theme park, which provides a stunning backdrop to the fourth green.
The highlight of this spectacular nine is the hole from which it gets its
monicker - the par four seventh, which demands one of the most unnerving
approaches known to golf; over a narrow strait to a peninsula greensite,
built next to a crocodile pit.

Tiara Melaka Golf & Country Club
Tiara Melaka Golf & Country Club is situated in the heart of the popular Ayer
Keroh tourist district and lies just 13km to the northeast of the historical
city of Malacca.
It is also 2 hours plus drive from Singapore and a one and a half hour
drive from Kuala Lumpur. And from the Ayer Keroh toll booth, it is only a
seven-minute drive to the Club.
The golf course, designed by renowed golf course architects
Nelson-Wright-Haworth has three nine-hole layouts namely the Lake Course,
the Meadow Course and the Woodland Course.
Sculpted from approximately 360 acres of pristine land, golfers can tee
off alongside towering stands of trees and play across shimmering natural
lakes.
Each nine will pose a formidable challenge to both the discerning as well
as the average golfer.
The clubhouse boasts a full range of facilities such as swimming pool,
jacuzzi, tennis, squash, gymnasium, karaoke, pro-shops plus a driving range
and of course the golfers’ terrace where you will relax in extreme comfort
after your round of golf.
It is often said that at Tiara Melaka, you decide on the challenge amidst
shimmering lakes and natural surroundings.

Air Keroh Country Club
Air
Keroh Country Club is located a mere 10-minutes from the Ayer Keroh
Interchange of the main North - South Highway. Located beside the course is
the zoo and "Dataran Merdeka" (Independence Square) - both popular tourist
spots.
The golf course carved out of virgin jungle and ready for play in 1964
was designed by a team led by Tun Dr. Ghaffar Baba, the then Chief Minister
of Malacca, and a golfing aficionado. The designers of the course very
wisely maintained a large part of the virgin jungle so as to limit as much
as possible the negative ecological impact the golf course would have on the
area. Today golfers share the course with a varied species of birds, monkeys
and squirrels, and monitor lizards that live in the jungle lining the
fairways of the course.

Orna Golf & Country Club
Orna
Golf & Country Club, belonging to Ornaresort Bhd., is the latest addition to
the list of golf courses in Melaka. It is a related company to Ornasteel
Enterprise Corporation (M) Sdn. Bhd. in Melaka, Malaysia, who is the
beneficial owner. It's imposing club house is situated on top of a hill. One
can have a panoramic view of the entire golf course from here. If one is
approaching from the North South Expressway, it is only a 5 minutes drive
from the Ayer Keroh toll gate to the Orna Golf & Country Resort. It has 27
holes, out of which 9 holes are lighted for night golfing.
Do not be deceived by the appearance of the course. The East and theh
West courses are especially tricky as the fairways are undulating and narrow
towards the greens.
