We started our tour in Kuala Lumpur at a leisurely pace, visiting obligatory iconic sceneries and places around the city, including to the top of the famous Petronas Twin Towers. This 88 story structure was completed in 1998 and was the tallest building in the world until 2004.
No golf tour to Malaysia is complete without playing the Kuala Lumpur Golf & Country Club (KLGCC). This 36 hole facility remains as one of the most prestigious golf club in Asia and has hosted many word class events including those from the US PGA Tour, European Tour and LPGA. We were amazed by service and the exclusivity - the West Course we played was quite long but the fairways were fairly generous. Bunkers cleverly positioned to protect the greens and well manicured surroundings.
Being so close to the festive Thaipusam date, we got to witness the colourful & exciting processions that took place early in Batu Caves. We spent half the day soaking in the sights and sounds of this once-in-a-lifetime experience, our cameras bursting with memories.
In Melaka, we got our bearings via the River Cruise ride, then proceeded to go on a walking historical tour to discover how Melaka got it's UNESCO World Heritage status.
Golf at Ayer Keroh Country Club was the selected course due to its attractive layout and buggy on fairway. This 27 hole golf club has some of the best natural landscape facility in Melaka.
Cameron Highlands was next, and it felt asthough we have walked back in time to a colonial period of Malaya as we play our golf, enjoyed some scones and breathe in the cool, crisp mountain air. The golf course there is a walking course and hiring a caddy is a must.
A drive up to Penang to explore the gastronomy and wonders of the island has to offer. The UNESCO Heritage sites were very charming - the Cheong Fatt Tse (Blue Mansion), the famous street arts in Armenian Street, clan houses of Khoo Kongsi and sea villages Clan Jetties.
There is only one golf course on the island while others are on the mainland side of Penang. The Penang Golf Club is a nice resort course located some 20 minutes from town center.
The last stop was Langkawi where a quick 30 minutes flight from Penang got us into an amazing island holiday. Here we played one of the most spectacular courses in South East Asia, the 18 hole Els Club Teluk Datai. There was no bunkers (yes ZERO sand traps). The course was so pristine as the views were unimaginable beautiful looking across the Andaman Sea. The sightseeing was also a nice treat with visits to the Langkawi Cable Car, Sky Bridge and Eagle Square.
