Bukit Jawi Golf Resort Description:
(challenging 36-hole layout with emphasis on shot making)

Bukit Jawi Golf Resort on Peninsula Malaysia is about a 45 minutes’ drive from Penang International Airport. The 36-hole Penang golf resort is set in a lush tropical landscape and was built on a former hilly oil palm plantation and around large bodies of contoured lakes. Bukit Jawi is 20 kilometers from Penang Island and consistently ranks among the 20 best golf resorts in Malaysia.

Bukit Jawi is a scenic course and the surrounding countryside from almost every tee. Laid out on pleasantly and continually undulating terrain, Bukit Jawi boasts two excellent, challenging and very absorbing championship layouts. The Hill Course and Lake Course offer golfers of varying handicaps a challenging and rewarding experience through with carefully landscaped greens and strategically placed hazards. The fairways and tee boxes grassed with Japanese Zoysia and the putting surfaces turfed with fast-rolling Bermuda grass.

The longer Hill Course, at 6,385 meters, is an 18-hole par-72 championship course. The course’s long and undulating fairways coupled with strategically placed hazards present a challenge to every aspect of the golfer’s game from stroke accuracy and distance to course management. The Hill Course will encourage big-hitters with its usually good-width fairways, even if six or seven of them require blind, uphill drives from the tee. Good bunkering and a line of palms and other tree varieties, ensure every fairway benefits from the definition.

Among many memorable holes, the excellent downhill par-3 12th is seriously defended by a small lake in front of the green. The long par-3 16th, heading in the opposite direction, also utilizes the same lake. Elevation changes and substantive greenside bunkering are more significant factors here than water hazards, although the 9th and 18th holes have threatening water hazards are crossing the fairways, both warranting a clear strategy from tee-to-green.

If you've navigated your way around the course and putt well on its often elevated greens, prepare yourself for a severe putting challenge at the seemingly innocuous par-4 17th. Your approach shot should factor in a putting surface that shelves steeply from right to left. The green that's seen several top golfers struggling to get down in four or more, the 'victims' claiming it is too sloping and too unfair! This course is a real test of skills to even the most seasoned golfer.

As its name suggests, the Lake Course features more water hazards and sand bunkers. The signature 15th island green is surrounded by water and guarded by bunkers at the most strategic place. This course puts a premium on the golfer’s accuracy and short game.

The Lake Course is also an 18-hole par-72 track covering 6,163 meters. The Lake Course will challenge your shot-making and course management in equal measure, while also serving up many of Bukit Jawi's most visually impressive holes. With plenty of elevation changes, water menacingly present on over half the course and a few sharp dog-legs to negotiate, accuracy rather than length is often at a premium here.

On several occasions you may need to keep the driver in the bag and play well-positioned irons or three-woods, setting up your approach shots to the undulating and never easy to read greens. Especially on the back nine, there are some beautiful views across the course from its higher elevations, as well as lily-filled water hazards and a liberal scattering of palms and other tree varieties, all contributing to the Lake's very pleasant, parkland credentials.

Some of the best holes include the par-4 5th. The 5th is probably one of the best and most exciting holes on the course. It’s an L-shaped dogleg right, covered by forests on all sides. If brave enough, you can tackle the one-on by driving over the woods, which many a golfer has tried and failed. But it’s possible. The elevation change here is so high your ears can pop just walking down the fairway. The par-4 14th is also another beauty, with the ravaging lake on the left and a thin strip of fairway to drive.

However, among many scenic holes, the attractive par-3 island green 15th steals the show. Played from an elevated tee, you'll get an excellent view of the green's rocky frontage and its seriously protective bunkering. The finishing par-4 18th, rather than an island green, has a water enclosed section of 'island' fairway, onto which you may need to lay-up before playing a long second shot uphill towards the green.

Both courses at Bukit Jawi are an enjoyable test of golf, and the idyllic setting of the resort guarantees the golfer a genuinely memorable round. Bukit Jawi Golf Resort also has a 48-bay driving range available for golfers to practice their swing and the clubhouse has all facilities and restaurants expected of a Malaysia golf resort.

    • My wife and I booked a golf weekend to Yogyakarta (Indonesia). We wanted to play golf and visit the historic (UNESCO) temples. Golfasian created a custom tour package for us. All we had to do was show up at the airport. Everything else was taken care of. Very professional. We were able to relax, play 2 different courses (Merapi and Borobudur) and visited the Prambanan and Borobudur temples. We are already looking to use Golfasian for our next golf weekend getaway.

    • We have used Golf Asian for 7 years in a row for our ASIAN Golf Trips, we have played Thailand 4 times, Vietnam, and Indonesia twice

      Their service is of the highest quality, their knowledge of the market is second to none, and most importantly their staff, we have dealt with Lit extensively and she is amazing, and so are all the other staff, including the drivers, and airport meet and greet staff

      Most importantly the value for money you get is second to none

      Keep up the good work

      Will use them again next year

    • Recent trip to Phuket, everything organised by Golfasian, except flights. 3 courses in 3 days, all went without a hitch, from Pick up at Airport straight to the 1st course with plenty of time to spare till our Tee off thanks to their timely pick up and suggested Tee time. All on ground from then on went like clockwork, pick up at hotels, drop off at the courses and then back to the hotel. All the courses were expecting us and were well prepared, which made things extremely easy. Well organised, on time and stress free...what more can you wish for?

    • Just returned from a great 2 week golf break in Vietnam (Hanoi, Ha Long, Danang, Ho Tram and HCMC) and generally the logistics etc were excellent with great attention to detail by GA. I've just completed the survey and made a few comments about what did go wrong and how perhaps a few things could be improved such as transport routings, driver wayfinding, caddie expertise, hotel ratings, etc. but generally an excellently organised trip and can't wait for the next one!!
