We are the first and the oldest golf club in Melaka with 27 hole golf course, other sporting and recreational facilities such as a swimming pool, golf driving range & bar lounge. Ayer Keroh Country Club (AKCC) was carved out of the virgin jungle and opened for play in 1964. The design team led was Tun Abdul Ghaffar Bin Baba, the former Deputy Prime Minister of Malaysia, Chief Minister of Malacca, and a golfing aficionado. The Malacca golf course is located right off the north-south highway and even has a private interchange. AKCC has hosted a number of major professional golf tournaments, the most prestigious being the 1989 Malaysian Open. Ayer Keroh Country Club routing is attractive and challenging. The original course consisted of two nines, known as Tunku's and Ghaffar's nines. A third nine (Governor's) opened in the mid-1990's. The three nines hug a lake known as the Ayer Keroh Lake which comes into play on quite a few holes. The course has matured well and stands a testament to what is achievable with the right support and attention to detail. Of the three nine-hole loops, the Governor's and Tunku's provide the best combination and play in a natural jungle-lined environment. Maintenance is top notch with well-groomed fairways. Most holes are well defined with thick vegetation and many trees lining the fairways and occasionally in the middle of them. However, sand is only used sparsely used at this Malaysia golf course and those areas where it is present are almost always in the form of greenside bunkers. Ayer Keroh has its fair share of obstacles at strategic places, but the course is notorious for the jungle that lines both sides of almost every fairway and unmercifully punishes wayward shots. On a few holes the tee-shots will feel quite tight (especially on Ghaffar's nine), although more breathing space and a slightly more open aspect also features in the layout. The forests and tall trees give a sense of coolness to Ayer Keroh. This very pleasant and quiet area of jungle contains many elevation changes which provide considerable charm and variety to each hole. The undulations on the golf course are mirrored in the contouring of the greens, with some slopes as testing and slippery as they come. Of the many memorable holes is the dogleg 6th, where a perfect drive will land you in the jungle. The final test comes at the long par-5 closing hole on Tunku’s nine, a mere 604 meters and one of the longest par-5's in Malaysia. The Malacca golf course is home to troops of macaque, and dusky-leaf monkeys so use caution if straying too far from one’s valuables. Caddies are available and usually assigned one per foursome. They are accommodating when reading putts and judging distances. With proper maintenance throughout and many beautifully jungle-lined holes, don't miss out on Ayer Keroh when golfing in Malacca! Ayer Keroh is a joy to play. Read More

Course design was nice, signature big tree in the middle of fairway at quite a few holes. Portion of food at clubhouse was small, but sufficient (eat less is good).” Read more

Buggy and caddy assignment disorganised, note that all payments are required in cash…this meant a trip to an ATM after arriving at the club. The ATM is a 10 minute drive. Very much a members club where a Deemples booking seemed too much trouble. The course itself has a few stand out holes based around the water hazards. In sunmary, average levels of course maintenance, not memorable and better options elsewhere.” Read more

I was told Tiara was the better place to play in Melaka, but I will rate AKCC much higher. Met a new friend here thus able to play at AKCC as min 2 balls required on Deemples. Thoroughly enjoyed the game albeit the compulsory caddie for visitors. But still considered well worth to play, scenic and quite a nice course design. Will come again. Cheers” Read more
