Malaysia - Forest City Golf Resort
Established in 2018 by world renowned Nicklaus Design, this new
course is sure to rapidly grow in stature. Located between Singapore
and Malaysia, 25-minutes from Johor Bahru city centre, the course is
uniquely built as part of a wider complex on four reclaimed islands,
so every little detail has been carefully thought out and build from
scratch. The 18-hole desert style course with many waste areas,
course plays to a 7012 yards and a par-72. According to Nicklaus, they
had to “work the ninth and 18th greens around a hill, and the golf
course has beautiful river views. From a player’s standpoint, the golf
course we have designed is unique as golfers cannot find anything
like it in Singapore or Malaysia”. After your game, you can enjoy the
onsite Forest City Golf Hotel.

- Royal Selangor
Golf Club
Established in 1892 and located in the heart of Kuala Lumpur
city, it is often regarded as the premier golf club in Malaysia, and
the beginning of golf in Malaysia. The course is accessible as its
only located 30-mintutes drive from Kuala Lumpur International
Airport, but as a member/guest course, only the lucky ones will
get an opportunity to play. However, individual hotels can book
tee times for their guests. The Old and New courses are parkland,
flat, relatively spacious and not too technical. That said, the holes
are well protected by an abundance of mature tree and some
holes can play quite long, so forward tees could be the best
option. The course has received much investment over the years
and hosted many professional events over the years such as the
Malaysian Open, Dunhill Malaysian Masters, and the 2016 Maybank
Championship.
