Best time to play golf in Malaysia
Malaysia’s tropical climate makes it a great golfing destination all year round, but different months and times of day bring different playing conditions. Malaysia has an average temperature of 25–35°C (77–95°F) with seasonal variations. The west coast, including Kuala Lumpur, Penang and Langkawi, is dry and best for golf from November to February, while the east coast, including scenic spots like Desaru Coast and Tioman Island, is best from March to September.
The best time of day to play golf is early morning or late afternoon, although there is occasional light rain, the weather is cooler, avoiding the heat of the day and offering a more private playing experience with fewer people on the course. Also, avoid golfing during festivals such as Hari Raya Aidilfitri and Chinese New Year as these times can lead to increased traffic on golf courses and reduced accessibility. For a smooth experience, book your tee times and accommodation in advance, especially if your trip coincides with these holidays.
