(27-hole resort course located between Kuala Lumpur and Malacca)
A'Famosa Golf Resort is a Malaysia golf course with full resort facilities. This Malaysia golf course is located 1 hour south of Kuala Lumpur and is within easy reach of Kuala Lumpur and Malacca. The 27-hole parkland-style golf course comprises three excellent quality nine-hole loops, with a unique Ross Watson design. A’Famosa hosted the Malaysian Amateur Open Golf Championship in 2011.
Each of the three nines is uniquely crafted to take advantage of the terrain’s natural contours. An environment of lakes, tropical flora, and beautiful landscaping provide a delightful yet challenging layout. A'Famosa Golf Resort consists of the Rockies, Crocodile and Palm nines.
The Rockies nine has attractive boulder outcrops. As expected, there are plenty of coconut palms on the Palm Course, and the Crocodile nine has its very own crocodile home. With constant but gentle elevation changes, high-quality bunkering, and strategically contoured fairways, this is an enjoyable yet challenging Malacca golf course. A’Famosa is usually well maintained and in decent condition for Malaysia golf enthusiasts.
The Palm golf course is arguably the most attractive and scenic nine, with a beautiful array of impressively designed holes. The tree-lined earth mounding that flank the fairways is frequently home to clusters of pot bunkers, complementing the bunkering around the often elevated greens of this Malaysia golf course.
The Rockies and Crocodile nines share the same impressive design characteristics, although with less water in play on the Rockies course. There is a slightly more open aspect on some of the Crocodile holes, from which you can inspect several of the other resort activities along the way. Just beyond the island green of the par-4 7th, is the pit where a couple of hungry crocs hang-out. The Rockies and Palm combine for Malaysia tournament play at A'Famosa Resort.
This Malaysia golf course clubhouse has a spacious changing room, a business center, a pro shop, and excellent food and beverage outlets like Golfer's Terrace and Bonus Café. The Clubhouse also boasts a well-stocked pro shop.
