Golf is a very favorite sport in Malaysia. Malaysia has many of Asia's finest golf courses. There are nearly 200 golf courses in Malaysia. Kuala Lumpur has established itself as a golf capital with nearly 40 fine courses. The 'Cobra' and 'Crocodile' layouts at the acclaimed Saujana Golf and Country Club in Subang figure in the list of best 100 Golf Resorts in the world. Another enjoyable course is at the Templer Park Country Club. Accented with two limestone pinnacles and abundant rainforest, it is a beautiful, spectacular and challenging course.
The Mutiara Pedu Golf and Lake Resort is an isolated golf gem located 90 km from the Kedah state, capital of Alor Setar.
In Langkawi there is the Datai Bay Golf Club, situated in a placid valley within the Gunung Mat Cinchang Forest Reserve.
Penang has the popular, hilly, 5763-meter course at the Bukit Jambul Country Club. The course features trees surrounded by so much bushes that players cannot see the next tee box or adjacent greens.
Johor can be said to be the country's golf state. The Palm Resort Golf and Country Club is a mere three-minute drive from Johor Bahru's Senai Airport. Located amid palm-dotted acres, the low-rise resort has three 18-hole championship courses. Another memorable course lies off the east coast in the exquisite Tioman Island is the Tioman Island Golf Course.
In Sabah on the island of Borneo, there are courses of international standards with names like Jack Nicklaus, Graham Marsh, Ronald Fream and Muir Graves. At the Borneo Golf and Country Club nearly 70 km south of the Sabah state capital of Kota Kinabalu, the championship 6,546-meter course by Jack Nicklaus has been cited as the best new course in the country for its set and preservation.
