Things to do in Johor Bahru District, Johor: The Best Golf Courses
A bargain shopper’s delight is just across the causeway in Malaysia, with numerous bus and train services available to ferry travelers across the border. The largest and most popular malls are easily accessible from the checkpoint and offer a blend of name-brand and knockoff shopping. Dig deeper and you’ll appreciate the city’s differences, good and bad, from Singapore, though rumors of rampant crime are overblown. Museums and places of worship abound, along with good dining for any budget. A new premium outlet mall opened just outside the city in December 2011, and keep an eye on the new Legoland Malaysia, slated to open at the end of 2012.

We visited Putt N Glow on Sun 3 Nov with my kids (aged 6 and 7). The staff there were very patient in explaining how the game is played and clearly enjoyed interacting with kids. The inside decor was well maintained and very professionally done. The kids enjoyed the fact that their light coloured clothes glowed in the dark and quickly figured out how to play as the course was well marked. Some of the holes were challenging and the adults enjoyed it more than expected. We had a great time as a family and it was extremely affordable as well. This may also be good for team building/corporate events as most people would find this an enjoyable indoor activity. The area around Putt N Glow also has a lot of new restaurants and a nice bakery. Highly recommended!

The method of construction for this golf course must have been unlike any other Malaysian courses, or the reclaimed land where the course sits on, its sand base is so well suited to drain out rain falls. Any decent golfers from both sides of the Tebrau Straits must give it a try. This is decidedly 5 star. The 'stay & play' package currently on offer also worked very well. Starters station is just at the hotel's ground floor. So you comfortably play, eat and sleep at pretty much the same place. The fairways are very well manicured, literally. You'll hardly see any divot marks anywhere on the 36 holes. The plants landscape are pristine. Cart paths are pieces of jointed concrete slabs without kerbs on either sides .. so, unlike typical Malaysian courses, golf carts move seamlessly between cart paths and fairways! Since both Classic & Legacy courses seemed to be built on reclaimed areas, the golf courses aren't surrounded by unkempt areas but instead, sandy 'wasteland' which envelops the courses provides a very tidy atmosphere. However, the lack of mature leafy trees can make it very hot at midday. Golf carts are allowed on the fairways.. which made it more bearable.

Par-72 36-hole golf course established in 1995, following the design by Peter Dalkeith Scott. Its two courses, Hill Course and Austin Course, lie on different planes. Water hazards are well featured, especially on the Austin Course, where the par-3 17th is the signature hole, with an island green. Other facilities include a hotel and swimming pool.
