18 holes par 72 (6271 meters)

since 2008
20 kilometers from the Singapore's Tuas Checkpoint

Horizon Hills Golf & Country Club, nestled in the heart of Nusajaya, Johor, offers a captivating golfing experience on its 6,271-meter par-72 championship course. Designed by the acclaimed Ross Watson, this course seamlessly integrates the natural landscape with strategic design, providing a challenging yet rewarding round for golfers of all skill levels. The course gained recognition by hosting the Asian Tour's Iskandar Johor Open shortly after its opening in 2008.

The course is renowned for its 'risk-reward' layout, featuring significant elevation changes and striking bunkers with full sand faces. Water features, including waterfalls, lakes, and ponds, add both beauty and challenge to the game. Notably, the 500-meter second hole is a strategic par-5 that tests players with a creek bisecting the fairway, demanding careful shot planning.

The final holes at Horizon Hills provide a memorable finish. The 17th, a 135-meter par-3, challenges with its large, undulating green and winds that can affect play. The 18th hole, a par-5, offers multiple strategic options, with water hazards and bunkers influencing club selection and shot execution.

Beyond the course, Horizon Hills boasts excellent facilities, including an Olympic-sized swimming pool, gym, tennis courts, and dining options, ensuring a complete and enjoyable visit for all golfers. With its engaging design and top-tier amenities, Horizon Hills is a must-visit destination for golfers in Johor.

25 minutes from Johor Bahru city center

Forest City Golf Resort, Legacy Course, is a golfer's paradise that gracefully blends strategic design with breathtaking natural beauty. Opened in 2018 and conveniently located just 25 minutes from Johor city center, and less than an hour from Singapore, this course is an exceptional destination for those seeking a world-class golfing experience. Situated on four reclaimed islands amidst the picturesque straits, the Legacy Course offers a truly unique setting. It is an integral part of the magnificent Forest City Golf Resort (FCGR), a grand real estate development overlooking the waters that connect Malaysia and Singapore. The course itself is ingeniously constructed using 2.5 million cubic meters of dredged ocean sand, forming a protective barrier against tidal influences, thus creating a remarkable desert-like landscape.

What truly sets the Legacy Course apart is its thoughtful infusion of a tropical ambiance, replacing traditional cacti with hundreds of vibrant palm trees. This lush greenery provides a stunning contrast to the sandy expanses, creating a visually captivating environment. The masterful design, a collaborative effort by the legendary Jack Nicklaus Sr. and his son, Jack Nicklaus Jr., ensures a challenging yet rewarding experience for all skill levels. The course features expansive signature waste areas, offering a sense of freedom for golfers, allowing them to play aggressively without the constant fear of out-of-bounds penalties. The fairways and greens are meticulously maintained with Paspalum Platinum, a salt-tolerant grass that thrives in high humidity, guaranteeing excellent playing conditions year-round, a testament to the thoughtful planning and execution of this exceptional course.

From a player's perspective, the Legacy Course promises an unforgettable golfing journey. The challenging terrain is expertly balanced with considerations for amateur golfers, low handicappers, and seasoned professionals alike, ensuring everyone can find their rhythm and enjoyment. The presence of the 5-star Forest City Golf Hotel as the clubhouse adds to the unparalleled luxury and convenience. For those looking to refine their game, a full-length driving range and a dedicated short-game practice area are available. Furthermore, to enhance accessibility and pace of play, golf carts are permitted on fairways, and the provision of female caddies as standard is a delightful touch. We warmly invite you to discover the unique charm and superior playability of the Legacy Course at Forest City Golf Resort.
