Senibong Golf Club

Originally known as Poresia Golf Club , it was established in 1990 , within a panoramic natural landscape of a former palm-oil plantation and boasted a championship golf course designed by Pete Dye , the renowned international golf course designer . The original layout contained four interchangeable 9-hole loops ; presenting a challenging course to cater to both amateur and professional golfers . In 2018 , the club was acquired by Walker Corporation , one of the Australia ’ s largest private development companies . The golf course has since undergone an extensive reconfiguration and refurbishment programme to transform it into a spectacular 18-hole golf course that retains the traits of the original design . In 2020 , the golf club was renamed Senibong Golf Club . This 18-hole golf course presents a perfect golf experience for players of all abilities , with natural environs of palm-oil trees , flowers , flowing streams , and tropical birds .
The front nine is challenging from the start to finish , extracting every ounce of skill from the golfers . It offers the golfer a wide fairway to hit off the drives and challenges the approach with uneven contours . The back nine sets its style with its undulating terrain lined with palm-oil trees . The fairways are flanked by large sand bunkers and deep troughs beyond the first cut . Its terrain surprises with more water hazards that test the golfer ’ s judgment . A few of the holes have creeks crossing the fairways twice ; setting up some excellent risk-reward opportunities for long hitters . The wonderfully elevated tee boxes provide excellent views of the long downhill and surrounding natural landscape .
