Introducing Horizon Hills Golf & Country Club

News Archive|2024-04-12
Introducing Horizon Hills Golf & Country Club 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 ---Horizon Hills Golf & Country Club. Within such a short time since our opening in 2008, Horizon Hills Golf & Country Club has become a household name in the golf industry in this region. Horizon Hills is a breath-taking, challenging piece of art within a 1,200-acre freehold township development in the heart of Nusajaya which itself is a key flagship zone within the Iskandar Development Region. Located in the southern state of Johor, Horizon Hills is one of the top golf clubs in Malaysia and was the venue for three editions of the Iskandar Johor Open from 2010 to 2012, won by Ireland’s Padraig Harrington, Dutchman Joost Luiten and Spaniard Sergio Garcia respectively. Owned and operated by leading property developer Gamuda Land, Horizon Hills offers a stunning 18-hole course crafted by Ross Watson and one of the best clubhouses in the country. Unlike many courses, the opening hole at Horizon Hills is anything but easy. The tee shot is played blind onto a wide-looking elevated landing area heavily guarded on the left by fairway bunkers. This is one of several holes at Horizon Hills where the green is not visible from the tee. The biggest obstacle is the fairway bunkers and mounds that actually sit on a straight path towards the green. Big hitters should be able to carry the bunkers but for the first-timer, playing to the right is the safer route. The green is slightly elevated and well guarded with bunkers on both sides. The surface is well contoured and as is the case with most of the greens here, full concentration is needed to avoid three putts or more. This has got to be one of Watson’s finer creations. From the elevated teebox, the golfer will spend a little more time taking in the dramatic view down towards a fairway that doglegs right with water lurking all the way past a relatively small green. A typical risk-reward hole, long hitters will attempt to cut as much of the hazard in order to afford a wedge onto a green that is not too receptive to long irons. Pot bunkers on three sides of the green make this hole that much tougher, belying its high index of 17. This is one of Horizon Hill’s signature holes. This Par Five boasts of possibly the only hole in the region with an island fairway that sits on the lake alongside the main fairway. The tee shot has to be very accurate instead of long, if playing this as a three-shot Par Five as water guards the right all the way to the green. The long hitter who opts to attack the island fairway will be rewarded with a long iron or rescue wood second shot to the green. But again, it is another full carry over water. This is a typical risk-reward hole, a feature that Watson understands only too well and subscribes with relish. The 18th here is well justified as Horizon Hill’s finish to a golfing adventure. Horizon Hills Golf & Country Club is only 30 minutes from Senai International Airport.

Introducing Kelab Golf Sarawak

News Archive|2024-04-07
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.

Thank you for your attention and we hope you are able to make use of our new reciprocal club soon. Happy travels!
