Best Golfing Places In Malaysia

Imagine playing golf from the roost of a mountain, across a forest filled valley next to the ocean.

Just you, nature and a piece of land so fantastically cultivated that your challenge of hitting that small white ball in that little opening is not any longer a part of golf, but an unforgettable adventure.
