Author:newsAmidst declining golf course availability in Singapore due to land reclamation for housing and infrastructure, Johor's golf courses are gaining attention. Just a bridge away from Singapore, these courses offer better value due to favorable exchange rates. Ponderosa Golf & Country Club, Daiman 18 Golf Club along the Johor Bahru Expressway, and Starhill Golf & Country Club in Kempas offer convenient, top-notch facilities and frequent events at attractive prices. Pulai Springs Resort features an 18-hole course and unique night golfing options.
TheForest CityGolf Resort, located ideally in the Special Financial Zone, epitomizes the seamless blend of urban panorama and golfing spirit. Forest City includes a five-star hotel and two 18-hole golf courses, one of which, the Legacy Course is designed by golfing legend Jack Nicklaus and his son, Jack Nicklaus II. The Legacy Course, launched in September 2018, offers a less challenging but visually striking layout. Winding through mangrove forests along the Pulai River, its desert-like sands reminiscent of Middle Eastern courses, the 18-hole Legacy Course is a beauty to behold. It also features top-tier practice facilities, including a 27-bay driving range and two large practice greens.
The second course, the Classic Course, designed by renowned architect Liang Guokun, opened in August 2019. This year,Forest City's Classic Course was once again ranked among Asia's Top 100 Courses, marking its fifth consecutive listing since 2020 and earning the Johor Tourism Board's designation as Johor’s Best Golf Destination. It challenges golfers with varied elevations and scenic vistas, creating a pleasurable yet challenging round. With expansive fairways and well-conditioned greens across a 7,386-yard layout, it combines aesthetic beauty with strategic play, ensuring a memorable experience for golfers of all levels.
