Introducing Kelab Golf Sarawak

Our new reciprocal in Malaysia

Dear Members,

We are delighted to inform you that we have signed a new reciprocal arrangement with an exciting new club in Malaysia --- Kelab Golf Sarawak.

Kelab Golf Sarawak is a golf course with a spectacular view of Sarawak. The course is the nearest golf course to the center of Kuching City and the only 36-hole golf course in Sarawak. The course consists of Matang / Santubong 18 in the south and Siol / Demak 18 in the north.

The distinctive factor of Matang / Santubong 18 is its mountain range, as the name suggests. Here is where golfers can play the game while enjoying the view of the Santubong and Matang ranges. From the golf course, the magnificent view of the mountains can be seen from a distance, giving the golfer an absolutely incredible experience that covers some of the most challenging obstacles in the game.

Meanwhile, towards the northern section, the Siol / Demak 18 is a par-72 championship course. It is not as long as the Matang / Santubong 18, which is designed to offer golfers some water hazards, narrow fairways and water ponds that will surely test their skills and techniques.

The 6,394 meter par-72 championship course is designed to test a player’s ball-striking accuracy and course management skills. It comes with a combination of undulating Paspalum grassed fairways and strategically positioned hazards to provide a significant challenge to both high handicappers and scratch players alike.

Some memorable holes include the par-3 3rd over water. A lake guards not only the front side of the green but also front and back bunkers protect the narrow green. An accurate tee shot is needed to par this hole. The 4th is a 435 yard par-4 and dogleg to the right. Water comes into play on the right and OB on the left. The second shot is over water, and while the left needs to be avoided to miss another greenside lake. Bunkers protecting both sides of the green come into play too.

The Siol/Demak 18 located in the northern side of the clubhouse. It is also a par-72 championship course but is slightly shorter in length at 6,224 meters. The New Course was re-designed by Nigel Douglas in 200 who also developed Kota Permai in Kuala Lumpur with Ross Watson. Every hole was re-routed, and all greens, tees, bunkers, and turf grass were newly built. As a result, the course is more challenging in that there are numerous hazards, with a good mix of bunkers, and lakes. Seasoned players and single handicappers tend to regard it as a less challenging course. Nevertheless, its narrow fairways and numerous water hazards at every bend fringing the fairways down the stretch require precision ball striking skills and accurate placement game. Wayward shots off the tee would invariably result in the balls rolling or diving direct into the many ponds guarding the par-3 holes, as exemplified by hole-6 at Siol 9.

In addition to golf, KGS is complete with lighted driving range and clubhouse catering to every golfer needs. The clubhouse with its highly unusual architecture bears a resemblance of an outstanding pyramid from the ancient land of the Pharaoh. There is nothing old about what one can find within this unique building though. The F&B outlets provide a wide range of Chinese, Western, Japanese, and Thai cuisines. While enjoying the food at the Pavilion and the Golfer’s Terrace, one could have a breathtaking view of the finishing holes at Matang and Santubong nines.

Kelab Golf Sarawak is only 50 inutes from Kuching International Airport.
