Penang Golf Resort, West Course Description:
(exciting layout that rewards strategy over distance)

Penang Golf Resort is a 36-hole golf resort nestled within the master plan of a new township located in Seberang Perai Utara, Penang and 21 kilometers from Penang city center.

Designed by Graham Marsh, this large and expansive tract of former palm oil plantation has been transformed into two very similar championship layouts - the East and West Courses - promoted as Malaysia's Jewel in the North.

Plenty of earth mounding, numerous stylishly designed bunkers, a handful of water hazards, contoured fairways and a light scattering of trees breaks up the essential flatness of the terrain. As you look across the open parkland, there are golf holes just about as far as the eye can see, although once on the course you'll be surprised how much space there is between them, and how 'intrusions' from other fairways are rare.

The good-width fairways (sometimes generously wide) and light semi-rough give the course an easy-going feel from the tee, but care will be needed on the approach shots, particularly with water present at the close of both the front and back nine.

This course is an impressive display of fairways, roughs and tees turfed with fresh Zoysia, and Bermuda for greens. High playability is guaranteed at all times with the installation of a special drainage system on the course.

The par 72 West Course threatens the back nine as there are a number of lakes present. The short par 3, 8th hole at only 164 meters looks easy but teeing shot may prove a watery problem. As on the East course, a bit of traffic noise can be heard from the North-South highway, especially when it skirts alongside the par-5 13th. The heavily bunkered 17th is an excellent par-3, also protected by water on the right. Water also poses most of the questions on the left to right dog-legging par-5 18th.

The Penang Golf Resort West Course offers an overall good golfing experience in Penang. The shared clubhouse includes a well-stocked pro shop as well as two restaurants. The local Penang food dishes and traditional Chinese fare are highly recommended.

    • This is the 2nd time i engaged GolfAsia for the HCM package. What impressed me much was they archived my last record and was able to recommend me 'new' courses to play this time. As was the last trip, they were organised and reliable. The arrangements (including a golf game that required speedboat transfer) were seamless and hassle-free.
      Well done, GolfAsia. Looking forward to another trip by you.

    • GolfAsian was for us the perfect organization. The ease in which we could plan the trip. The selected golfcourses were of good quality and tailored to our wishes. The services like pick-up from the hotel and assistance of the driver in the clubhouse were perfect and always on-time! We really felt taken care of.
      We will use GolfAsian next time again, for sure!

    • First golfing trip to Thailand, and Golfasian were amazing! From the initial emails queries right through to meeting me for a round of golf in Bangkok, Golfasian were invested in making my trip memorable and they completely excelled my expectations. The team took the time to fully understand my interests and structured a tour across Thailand that was incredible. The drivers, the caddies, tte ournament staff, and the support staff all do an awesome job to make things as seamless as possible for you. They really know their stuff, they know the courses, the caddies, and the accomodation which ensures you gain the eperience you are truly looking for. Thanks to AJ, Richard, Brian and the extended team in Chiang Mai (two ball tournament) for a magical Thai golfing experience, I'm absolutely hooked and I'm already preparing my next adventure with Golfasian after being home for two days! If you are looking for the ultimate golfing experience in Thailand (or anywhere in SE Asia for that matter), be sure to book it through Golfasian.

    • We have just returned from our 2018 Hua Hin Classic golf trip and I have nothing but praise for Golfasian, from the pick up at Bangkok airport to the drop off it ran like a Swiss watch - we all know that managing 20 lads is like herding cats but Golfasian did a perfect job - special thanks to Thanita and Jinny.
