Tips for a perfect golf trip to Malaysia
Choose the right golf course and tee times

Some famous Malaysia golf courses include TPC Kuala Lumpur Golf & Country Club, Saujana Golf Country Club, The Els Club Teluk Datai, etc. When choosing a golf course in Malaysia, consider your playing level, location, facilities and budget. With options ranging from championship-level courses to beginner-friendly fairways, Malaysia has something to suit every golfer.
For the best playing conditions, plan your rounds in the early morning and late afternoon. These two times offer cooler temperatures and suitable lighting conditions, and the courses are also less crowded, providing a more private and comfortable experience. Don’t forget to book your tee times in advance, especially during peak seasons or at popular golf courses, to ensure a smooth trip.

Book accommodations and transportation
Malaysia offers a wide range of accommodation options, from luxury resorts near top golf courses to hotels in the city center for golfing adventures. Choosing accommodation near or on the golf course for ease and speed, you can maximize your golfing time while still being able to return to your room to relax or enjoy other activities such as sightseeing and exploring. Book in advance for special discounts and more accommodation options.
Arranging airport transfers in advance ensures a smooth start to your journey, with many hotels offering private transfers for added convenience. If you are traveling between cities, domestic flights are the quickest option. However, you can also use private car or train services to enjoy the scenery along the way at a more reasonable price. For golf course transfers, coordinate with your hotel or local tour operator to ensure timely and hassle-free transportation, allowing you to focus on enjoying your game.
