Johor Golf Courses | Golf in Johor, Malaysia

Back in the early 1990s, at the start of the golf boom, Johor took to developing golf resorts by the dozen. It therefore boasts the largest number of courses in the country, some of the best golf courses in Malaysia are lined up within less than an hour drive of each other. Retaining much of its natural splendour, Johor has miles of golden sandy beaches, and beautiful offshore islands with clear waters which are excellent for diving, snorkelling and deep-sea fishing. The state is also endowed with several internationally-acclaimed forest reserves for non-golf days.

Golf Holidays in Johor are a great way to spend some days, as it offers many different sights and tour options.
