Penang Golf Resort, West Course Description:
(exciting layout that rewards strategy over distance)

Penang Golf Resort is a 36-hole golf resort nestled within the master plan of a new township located in Seberang Perai Utara, Penang and 21 kilometers from Penang city center.

Designed by Graham Marsh, this large and expansive tract of former palm oil plantation has been transformed into two very similar championship layouts - the East and West Courses - promoted as Malaysia's Jewel in the North.

Plenty of earth mounding, numerous stylishly designed bunkers, a handful of water hazards, contoured fairways and a light scattering of trees breaks up the essential flatness of the terrain. As you look across the open parkland, there are golf holes just about as far as the eye can see, although once on the course you'll be surprised how much space there is between them, and how 'intrusions' from other fairways are rare.

The good-width fairways (sometimes generously wide) and light semi-rough give the course an easy-going feel from the tee, but care will be needed on the approach shots, particularly with water present at the close of both the front and back nine.

This course is an impressive display of fairways, roughs and tees turfed with fresh Zoysia, and Bermuda for greens. High playability is guaranteed at all times with the installation of a special drainage system on the course.

The par 72 West Course threatens the back nine as there are a number of lakes present. The short par 3, 8th hole at only 164 meters looks easy but teeing shot may prove a watery problem. As on the East course, a bit of traffic noise can be heard from the North-South highway, especially when it skirts alongside the par-5 13th. The heavily bunkered 17th is an excellent par-3, also protected by water on the right. Water also poses most of the questions on the left to right dog-legging par-5 18th.

The Penang Golf Resort West Course offers an overall good golfing experience in Penang. The shared clubhouse includes a well-stocked pro shop as well as two restaurants. The local Penang food dishes and traditional Chinese fare are highly recommended.

    • Great service from beginning to end. The fast lane at the airport started our trip wonderfully and the organisation throughout was faultless. Hua His was a delightful surprise. Black Mountain golf course was great. The trip to the National Park was fantastic. Pukky was brilliant. Second trip we have done through you and will be doing more.

    • This is my second or third time using Golfasian, and I think it is a high-quality firm that you can use with confidence, not only for golf knowledge but also for travel planning. If I had arranged it myself like before, I think it would be very difficult to have the same experience.

      今回で2回か3度目の利用になるのですが、ゴルフの知識だけでなく、旅行のプランニングなども相談できる安心して利用できる高品質な代理店だと思います。以前のように自分で手配していたら、同じような経験をするのはとても大変だと思います。

    • GolfAsian was for us the perfect organization. The ease in which we could plan the trip. The selected golfcourses were of good quality and tailored to our wishes. The services like pick-up from the hotel and assistance of the driver in the clubhouse were perfect and always on-time! We really felt taken care of.
      We will use GolfAsian next time again, for sure!

    • We just had a 5 days and 4 rounds golf tour at Danang city. It is a beautiful city with white &long beach, delicious food, attractions and kind people.

      The links golf courses are magnificent and challenge. We really enjoyed the game and Golfasian well arranged all the related. We strongly recommend visiting and golfing in Vietnam through Golfasian.

    • After our fantastic vacation, I wanted to take a moment to thank you. It was purely by chance that I stumbled upon GolfAsian during my internet search, but I couldn't imagine a better organization. The service and follow-up were excellent, and the selection of golf clubs and excursions was perfect. This definitely deserves a repeat. I will wholeheartedly recommend your organization within our golf circles here in Belgium.
      If there's any way I can be of assistance to GolfAsia in Europe, please let me know.

    • Our recent trip to the Pattaya area for 6 rounds of golf was excellent, and went very smoothly. Golfasian's itinerary was well executed, and everything worked like clockwork. Their drivers were exceptional in their service, and would register us at the golf club while we went straight to the locker room or driving range.

      All this at very reasonable price levels makes Golfasian the number one choice for our group, and this is confirmed by us planning our golf holiday through Golfasian for the 8th year in a row.

      Thank you Ian Morgan, and see you guys next year.
