Description

One of the best course in the Northern Region of Peninsular Malaysia and is only a mere 45 minutes drive from the Penang International Air Port. Bukit Jawi Golf Resort offers two 18-hole par 72 championship courses, the Hill Course and the Lake course.

At the 2016 Golf Magazine Course Poll, Bukit Jawi Golf Resort’s Hill Course was voted as the top 11 golf course in Malaysia. Other accolade includes one of the Top 20 golf courses in Malaysia at the 2010-2012 Golf Malaysia Course Poll; The 5th Best Golf Course, along with the 6th Most Memorable Golf Course and 3rd Most difficult Golf Course in Malaysia by The Stars, Punch Shot.

Signature Hole: Lake 15th, Par 3
A mesmerizing 165 meters, par-3 that requires pin-point accuracy as the target is a pretty island green. There is no room for error, as tee shots need to be well-struck to carry water but must also be straight to avoid veering to either side and winding up in a watery grave. Should the tee shot land on the green with a strong roll, then there is a bunker at the rear to save it from rolling into the water. This hole was voted as the 4th most difficult hole in Malaysia by the 2010-2012 Golf Malaysia Course Poll.

Signature Hole: Hill 9th, Par 5
The longest hole on the Hill course is the index 5 Hole No. 9. With a distance of 540m, it has a dog-leg to the left. Hidden from the tee is a large pond that needs to be crossed. It is near impossible for the average player to cross the hole’s expanse of water in two shots, thus very long third shots are the norm into a green that has more water in the form of a much smaller pond to its right.
