Planning a holiday where mindblowing scenery has a sporty twist? Desaru, on Malaysia’s sun-drenched east coast, is fast becoming a favourite for golf enthusiasts. With lush landscapes, world-class facilities, and seaside luxury, Desaru’s golf courses are perfect for travellers who want to stay active while soaking up the calm coastal vibes.
Els Club Desaru Coast – Ocean Course
Set against the backdrop of the South China Sea, the Ocean Course at Els Club offers championship-level golfing with spectacular ocean views. Designed by Ernie Els himself, this 27-hole course provides a challenging yet rewarding experience for all skill levels.
Valley Course – A Tropical Challenge
Part of the same club, the Valley Course was co-designed by Vijay Singh and offers a more technical game. Surrounded by rainforest and featuring undulating greens, it’s ideal for golfers seeking variety and a closer connection to nature.
Luxury and Leisure
After a morning on the greens, unwind in elegance at a property such as Anantara Desaru Coast Residences, which pairs beachside serenity with proximity to the region’s best fairways.
More than Golf
When you’re not perfecting your swing in Desaru, things to do await at every turn. Think fresh seafood feasts, vibrant markets, and coastal cycling trails – truly a golfer’s dream with a dash of local adventure.
