Meru Valley Golf & Country Club
Meru Valley Golf & Country Club has some great holes. The fourth hole is an absolute cracker. It's like Augusta 12th, water fronting the green, just about 130 metres from elevated tee box. The signature hole is the 6th. There's an opening in the foliage for golfers to peek through to see the par 3 green guarded by water in the front. It's a nice course for Malaysia standards and the greens are absolutely a delight to putt on. This, plus the fact that the course is really a beautiful course, makes it one of the favourites for Malaysai golfers.
Some people might find it challenging enough, but the scenery is beautiful and the experience more exhilarating. The shorter course makes it easier for higher handicap golfers to putt for pars, instead of saving bogeys.
