Featured Golf Hotels Malaysia
MALAYSIA is truly unique as a golfing destination, the
diversity of its courses is unrivalled in the world. Numbering more than 190
throughout the country, they can be found high in the mountains, along the
seashore, on tropical islands, amidst towering rain forests and in the heart
of the city. As well as offering spectacular scenery, many of these courses
are equipped with the best facilities and amenities to be found anywhere, to
make your golfing a complete and unforgettable experience.
A number of courses have been designed by some of golf's top names.
Designers and golfers alike, including Jack Nicklaus, Arnold Palmer, Gary
Player, Greg Norman, Peter Thomson, Ronald Fream, Robert Trent Jones, Ross
Watson, J Michael Poellot, and Max Wexler, et al, have brought out the best
features of the environment whilst incorporating their own special signature
skills.
This accounts for the tremendous variety of courses throughout Malaysia,
each with its own special features, for a range that no true golfing
aficionado can resist. And with Malaysia's excellent road system and
transportation, including frequent flights between all major cities, it is
easy to get to the best of the country's courses for a typically Malaysian
golfing experience par excellence.
The visiting golfer will find a variety of grasses to play on. The older
courses will feature Cowgrass or broad-leaf indigenous grass on the fairways
and rough, with Serangoon or Bermuda Tifway covering the greens.
Most of the newer courses will have the popular warm weather favourite
Bermuda Tifway on the fairways and rough and Bermuda Tifdwarf on the greens.
Some courses prefer the resilient Zoysia Martrellia species, while the Sea
Shore Paspalum variety is the grass used for seaside courses. The temperate
climate Bent grass can be found in one of the mountain courses. The average
speed of Malaysian greens is between 6-8 on the Stimpmeter. But in a small
number of courses, the speed can rise to as high as 10. However, the golf
courses in Malaysia generally do not have fast greens.
Tourism Malaysia organises the highly successful World Amateur Inter-Team
Golf Championship. This annual tournament brings together amateur golfers
from all over the world to play in some of the best courses in Malaysia as
well as to savour the sights and sounds of this fascinating country.
To avoid disappointment, you are advised to call the club concerned to
make your bookings early. Also bear in mind that green fees may change from
time to time, so do check with the clubs. The greater majority of golf clubs
in Malaysia insist on the use of rubber-studded shoes. Happy golfing!
