Golf in Malaysia

Malaysia Golf: 9 Courses Near the Airports, in the Highlands and Beyond

A Malaysia golf trip can mean a round in the highlands, a stay near Malacca's historic centre or golf by the coast in Kuantan. Resorts World Awana sits around 950 metres above sea level, while the Malacca area offers former tournament venues and Kuantan brings the sea breeze into play. Compare these 9 courses by setting, layout and travel plans. For a round on a flight day, check that your arrival or departure leaves enough time for the golf and airport formalities.

MALAYSIA GOLF GUIDE

Planning your trip by region

Flight days: Saujana is around 5 km from Subang Airport, with a quoted drive of 40–50 minutes from KLIA. Palm Garden is listed as 30–40 minutes from KLIA. Treat these as estimates, and allow for immigration, baggage collection, the full round and airline check-in before choosing a tee time.

Highland golf: Awana is in the Genting Highlands, while Berjaya Hills is at Bukit Tinggi off the Karak Highway. They are separate destinations, so check the journey from your hotel to each club if you plan to play both. Awana is listed as around 1 hour 30 minutes by car from KLIA.

Malacca: Tiara Melaka and Orna are both about 20 minutes by car from Malacca International Airport, and Ayer Keroh Country Club is in the same Ayer Keroh area. A'Famosa is further north in Alor Gajah. From KLIA it is a 1.5 to 2-hour drive, so staying in Malacca keeps the transfers short.

Kuantan: Royal Pahang is near Teluk Chempedak Beach on the east coast, about 30 minutes from Sultan Haji Ahmad Shah Airport. It is a long way from Kuala Lumpur, so it works best as a separate beach-and-golf stay.

COURSE PLANNING

Before you book

  • Highland weather

    Resorts World Awana is about 950 metres above sea level, so conditions can differ from Kuala Lumpur. Check the local forecast before you go and pack a light layer.

  • Last tee times and caddie requirements

    The A'Famosa listing gives 3 pm as the last tee time for 18 holes, and the Tiara Melaka listing requires a caddie. Confirm the rules for your date before planning transfers or an afternoon round.

  • Small groups and dress code

    If you book for one or two players, the starter may put you in a group with other golfers. Wear a collared golf shirt with golf trousers or tailored shorts, and check the individual club's restrictions on clothing such as jeans and T-shirts.

  • Submit your MDAC before arrival

    Most foreign visitors must complete Malaysia's Digital Arrival Card (MDAC) within three days before arrival, while Singapore citizens and some other travellers are exempt. Submit it free of charge on the official immigration website.
