For a country with a total land area of only
330,000 sq.km., Malaysia has an incredible number of almost
200 golf courses. Malaysia is blessed with a diverse landscape
and has the opportunity to build golf courses in the cool
highlands, by the beach, nestled in the lush jungle or surrounded
by gleaming skyscrapers. These beautiful courses are designed
by pros and offer the latest in luxury amenities.
Many of these international-class courses have
been designed by the likes of Jack Nicklaus, Robert Trent-Jones,
Max Wexler, Ted Parslow and other golfing greats. Much thought
and care has been taken in providing world-class conveniences,
great scenery and surrounding holiday attractions for a well-rounded
holiday. Most of these courses are built as part of 5-star
resorts and luxury clubs for the pleasure of the most discerning
golfer. Equipment is never a problem as there is a plethora
of sports shops in the cities, all of which provide the best
of golfing equipment and accessories, and all at reasonable
prices. Most courses offer night golfing so that visitors
can golf to their hearts' content.
There are tournaments of all levels held in
the country and a huge community of golfing aficionados. There
are also a few Malaysian golfing magazines and websites available.
For a challenging yet relaxing golfing holiday, the time is
now, the place is Malaysia.
