THE challenging championship 18-hole course is located about 90 minutes’ drive from Kuantan, 30 from Cheranting from the south and 15 from Kerteh from the north. The course lies on 160 acres of beach front with water guarding the greens, especially on the signature Hole 14, a par three.

The green is guarded by a bunker which turns into a water hazard when the tide is up. Equally interesting is the par 3 Hole 4 on the front nine, the Palm, which requires a full water carry to the green. Numerous greenside bunkers left and right await wayward shorts.

However, despite its difficulties this hole is a favourite hole-in-one prospect. The golf course is a big favourite for those out for an enjoyable day’s golf amidst superb surroundings – with the sea on one side and jungle and hills on the other. For variety some holes are situated in the jungle with narrow fairways which place a premium on accuracy.
