What better place is there to unwind and chill other than Genting Highlands. Unlike other beautiful places in Malaysia, Genting Highlands is full of reserved rainforests and in-your-face nature. And unlike the common hot weather we experience on a daily basis, Genting Highlands is blessed with cold weather and crispier air. Because of that, this fantastic city in Pahang has caught the attention of Malaysians and tourists worldwide. Plus, Genting Highlands is home to one of the best golf courses in Malaysia called Awana Genting Highlands Golf & Country Resort.
Thus, in this article, we'll dive deep into the country resort and what makes it so special. Keep reading to find out!
Awana Genting Golf Course Details
The Awana Genting golf course layout is packed with nature and offers a mesmerizing environment. The course itself is located within Resorts World Awana, a prestigious resort in Genting. The designer of the course is none other than Ronald Fream who had successfully brought this masterpiece to life. The course was established in 1986 and is located 3100 feet above sea level. You don't hear that every day when it comes to golf courses. Plus, it's only an hour's drive from Kuala Lumpur so what's not to like.
For starters, Awana Genting Highlands Golf & Country Resort is an 18-hole, par-71 course with immaculate views and plenty of challenging holes. A distinct feature of the course is the gorgeous thick jungle which is to be expected from a golf course in Genting Highlands. The course is nothing but fun and challenging as you would expect from a golf course though it can be slightly tight due to the thick jungle as mentioned.
Speaking of challenges, the course showcases dangerous water hazards that, although infrequent, can be a huge test for some, especially near holes 4 and 15. Plus, the course has some amazing elevation changes that most may find fascinating, not to mention the spectacular views. All in all, the shots that have a high risk-to-reward ratio accompanied by amazing views and picturesque scenery are what you can expect from this course.
