14 kilometres east of Melaka

Tiara Melaka Golf & Country Club offers a captivating 27-hole experience, skillfully designed to cater to golfers of all skill levels. Nestled within a lush rainforest, the Woodlands-nine stands out with its undulating terrain and scenic beauty. As you navigate through the dense jungle, you might catch a glimpse of local wildlife, adding to the charm of this picturesque course. A highlight is the par-4 3rd hole, where strategic choices are key—either lay up for a longer approach or take on the challenge of driving over a diagonal stream.

The Meadow-nine complements the Woodlands with its well-considered design. While it may not match the Woodlands' natural allure, it offers its own challenges, particularly in the final three holes. Here, water hazards and towering trees demand precision, especially on the fairway of the 17th and alongside the lake on the 18th.

The Lakes-nine adds another layer of variety, featuring enjoyable and challenging holes. While not as renowned as its counterparts, it completes a well-rounded golfing experience. The course is well-maintained, with immaculate greens and varying fairway widths to test your skills. Tiara Melaka is conveniently located, making it an attractive choice for those seeking a memorable golfing holiday in Malaysia.

12 kilometers South-West of Georgetown

Penang Golf Club, formerly known as Bukit Jambul Country Club, invites you to experience a truly unique golfing journey on the beautiful island of Penang. Established in 1984 on a once rugged jungle terrain, this esteemed club has consistently held its position as one of Malaysia's premier golfing destinations. Through continuous enhancements and meticulous renovations, Penang Golf Club has not only maintained its leadership but also attracted prestigious events, including the 31st Malaysian Open in 1992, where the legendary Vijay Singh emerged victorious. This championship pedigree, coupled with its breathtaking panoramic views of the island and the distant mainland, makes it a must-play for discerning golfers. The club's commitment to excellence ensures a memorable and rewarding experience for every visitor.

Designed by the renowned golf course architect Robert Trent Jones Jr., the 18-hole, 5,763-meter, par-72 layout offers a captivating challenge for players of all skill levels. While often described as compact, the course presents a technically demanding and dramatically undulating parkland experience. Robert Trent Jones Jr. has artfully incorporated strategically placed bunkers, subtly integrated into the landscape with grassy faces, demanding precision and thoughtful shot-making rather than brute force. The layout encourages accuracy from the tee, with sharply doglegging fairways and significant elevation changes, such as the memorable downhill opening par-4 and the stunning signature 10th hole, where the tee box is perched 100 feet above the fairway. These features promise an engaging and stimulating game that will test your golfing acumen.

For those who appreciate a course that rewards thoughtful play and offers picturesque vistas, Penang Golf Club is an unparalleled choice. The blend of lush tropical jungle elements with the vibrant city backdrop, featuring views of the impressive Penang Bridge, creates a visually stunning and distinctive golfing environment. The undulating terrain adds another layer of excitement to each shot.

45 minutes from Penang International Airport

Bukit Jawi Golf Resort, nestled in the lush tropical landscape of Peninsula Malaysia, offers an unforgettable golfing escape just a scenic 45-minute drive from Penang International Airport. This acclaimed 36-hole resort, consistently ranked among Malaysia's top 20 golf destinations, was thoughtfully sculpted from a former hilly oil palm plantation, artfully incorporating large, contoured lakes to create a truly unique playing experience. Set just 20 kilometers from the vibrant shores of Penang Island, Bukit Jawi presents a captivating blend of natural beauty and challenging golf, promising a rewarding adventure for every visitor. Its undulating terrain and breathtaking countryside views from nearly every tee create an idyllic setting that will captivate golfers of all levels.

At Bukit Jawi, golfers can choose from two distinct and absorbing championship layouts designed to test every aspect of their game. The longer Hill Course, a par-72, 6,385-meter challenge, features long, undulating fairways and strategically placed hazards that demand precision and thoughtful course management. While generous in width, some uphill blind drives will keep you on your toes. The Lake Course, a par-72, 6,165-meter track, lives up to its name with abundant water hazards and sand bunkers, placing a premium on accuracy and a sharp short game. With numerous elevation changes, water threatening over half the holes, and some sharp dog-legs, strategic play is key to conquering this visually stunning parkland-style course. Both courses are grassed with Japanese Zoysia on fairways and tee boxes, and feature fast-rolling Bermuda greens.

For those seeking a true test of skill and a memorable golf holiday, Bukit Jawi Golf Resort is the ideal destination. Imagine the thrill of tackling the signature 15th island green on the Lake Course, surrounded by water and guarded by well-placed bunkers, or the challenge of the often-elevated greens on the Hill Course, like the notoriously tricky 17th that has humbled even seasoned professionals. Beyond the exceptional golfing, the resort boasts a 48-bay driving range for honing your swing and a welcoming clubhouse complete with all the amenities and dining options you'd expect from a premier Malaysian golf resort. Come experience the exceptional beauty and challenging play that makes Bukit Jawi a truly special place for golfers.

15 minutes from Kuah Town, 30 minutes from Datai

Gunung Raya Golf Resort is located at the foothills of the majestic Gunung Raya Mountain. The Max Wexler designed Langkawi golf course covers 300 acres of former rubber plantation land. Gunung Raya has beautiful panoramic views and an impressive landscape. The Langkawi golf course opened for play in 1998 and hosted key amateur golf tournaments over the years.

Constant renovation keeps the course in good order, and almost everywhere there are signs of on-going maintenance. Even the golf cart path is lined with yellow trumpet flowers and wild grasses. Most of the Gunung Raya holes offer a scenic view of rolling hills and distant mountains. For example, the first hole from its elevated tee is a slight dogleg right with a great view of Gunung Raya and the whole golf course.

The fairways are wide, which makes it easy to keep the ball in play. Bermuda grass ensures balls sit nicely. There’s not much OB or hazards. The back nine has more water.

Some of the most notable holes include the 10th, a 500 meter par-5. The dogleg right hole has water running the entire length on the left while a hill serves as an obstacle to choose the tiger line towards the right. Littered with bunkers the fairway leads to a large, relatively flat green.

Hole 7 is a 207 meter par-3. Watch out for wind conditions and pin position for a good score on this long par three. The bunkers flanking the green, and the two-tiered layout can pose problems to high handicappers. The challenging closing hole, a long 423 meter par-4, is tough to hit on regulation because of its uphill design while two bunkers side by side on the right can add to the strokes. The elevated green calls for a lofted shot to seek the pin.

The clubhouse and practice facilities are adequate for the visiting Langkawi golfer. Overall Gunung Raya Golf Resort is a beautiful course to play in combination with other Langkawi golf courses. It won’t win any awards but makes for a good day out.
