99 East Golf Club

One of the best new courses in Malaysia, 99 East Golf Club offers a one-of-a-kind golfing experience with design influences from Australian and even Scottish links courses.

Crafted by renowned Aussie architect Ross Watson, the sweeping nine-hole course measures 3,665 yards from the tips with wild grasses and reeds dominating the out of play areas. The layout meanders through native forest, wetlands and an orchard valley, offering great views of Mount Mat Cincang in the west and Kuah Bay in the east - especially from the tees of the par five sixth hole, which is the highest point of the course.

Green fees (including buggy) are RM145 per nine and RM190 per 18 for Malaysians. Non-citizens are charged RM225 and RM290 respectively.

The temporary but well-designed clubhouse offers comfortable changing rooms and a proshop. The stand-alone al fresco restaurant, The Yard Arm, serves an excellent mix of local and Western fare.
