Batu Pahat Golf Club is one of Malaysia's hidden golfing gems, offering a scenic and challenging nine-hole course that was originally built on the present site by the British in 1935.
The par 36 layout features Cowgrass fairways and well-kept Serangoon greens next to a hilly forest reserve. Some holes climb up to elevated greens or play down from hillside tees and, in the mornings or after a heavy rainfall, mist often lends a surreal look to the surroundings.
Four holes, le 1, 3, 8 and 9, have separate teeboxes for the first and second nines, and the par five opening hole actually plays to two different greens for each nine.
Green fees are RM42 on weekdays and RM63 on weekends, regardless of whether you play nine or 18 holes. Caddie fee is RM15 per nine.
