Malaysia boasts an array of expansive golf resorts and courses, sure to provide golf enthusiasts with the challenging and diverse greens they love. The exotic Southeast Asian country features more than 200 professional-standard courses, many of which were design by golf greats like Jack Nicklaus, Arnold Palmer, Robert Trent Jones, Max Wexler and Ted Parslow. These fairways have also been graced by the likes of Tiger Woods and Mark O’Meara. Great care has been put into the design and facilities of these golf courses to provide visitors with a unique, well-rounded, world-class experience. The courses can be found high in the mountains, along the sea-sides, on tropical islands, amidst verdant rainforests and in the heart of cities — there is something to treat every golfer’s tastes. In 2007, Malaysia will play host to the World Amateur Inter-Team Golf Champion-ships, a popular annual tournament for non-professional golfers from around the world. The event brings together more than 900 international amateur golfers to play in some of Malaysia’s best courses. Beyond its unique cultural mix and its variety of golfing experiences, Malaysia offers an abundance of attractions for every kind of traveler. City-lovers can take in the shopping, sites and nightlife in Kuala Lumpur, the country’s bustling capital and home to the world’s tallest twin structures, the Petronas Twin Towers. Eco-tourists can explore the lush rainforests of Sabah, go diving off world-famous Sipadan Island, or climb the peaks of Mount Kinabalu, Southeast Asia’s tallest mountain. Malaysia is a genuine golfing haven that attracts tourists from near and far each year. With 2007’s festivities, Malaysia’s golfing scene is a must-see and must-play destination for golfers worldwide. There is no better time to visit Malaysia then now. |
