Bangi Golf Resort

Fun because the first nine has three par 5s. The first is a reachable one with a sharp dogleg almost 90 degrees to the left. In one mighty stroke, you can cut the entire dogleg over the trees and land with an 8 – 9 iron distance for eagle. The second par five is also reachable with a good drive and roll, and wood or long iron into the green guarded by two front bunkers. Finally, the par-5 9th plays the easiest. A comfortable cut of the dogleg left will catch the hill and roll down.

The second and third nines play more like traditional courses. Possibly the most memorable par 4 is the 13th. It's 260m to cross the pond onto the green. Bangi welcomes all golfers, especially those who are playing with beginners.

Course conditioning and the on-site golf resort could be of a better standard. Nevertheless, green fees are reasonable and golfing at Bangi Golf Resort has the makings of a pleasant day for most.
