The undulating slopes of a former oil palm field were used to build Saujana. The two golf courses, Palm and Bunga Raya, have lakes, ponds, ridges, mounds, and bunkers that all contribute to their undulating fairways. Both of the Saujana courses are year-round championship-condition and equally difficult.
In addition to hosting the esteemed Malaysia Open seven times, the Saujana Palm Course had the distinction of being the first golf course in Asia to hold the first-ever European & Asia PGA Tour tournament. The Palm Course, sometimes known as “the Cobra,” is renowned for having the fastest, trickiest greens in the nation and narrow, palm-lined fairways.
Located in the Kota Kemuning municipality, Kota Permai Golf & Country Club has garnered praise from Malaysian golfers ever since it opened for play in 1998. One of the best golf courses in Asia is the 18-hole Kota Permai championship course, which was created by renowned international architect Ross Watson.
The Mines Golf Course, the focal point of a resort complex spanning 1,000 acres and five million square feet of internal space, was constructed on the site of the world’s largest open cast tin mine. The Mines golf course was designed by Robert Trent Jones, Jr. since the property was in such terrible shape that many people believed development was not feasible. In order to stabilize the land and rehabilitate the soil, Trent Jones had to undertake extensive re-engineering. Because of this, the fairways have a foot of sand lining them, which acts as a buffer against contaminated soil and offers superior drainage, particularly during the periodic monsoon rains.
