Johor Bahru

Johor Bahru is where Singapore goes to play golf. Just across the Causeway or the Second Link, clubs such as Palm Resort with 54 holes in Senai, Horizon Hills in Iskandar Puteri and Johor Golf & Country Club in Larkin offer good courses at a fraction of Singapore prices, and Forest City Golf Resort has 36 holes, including a Jack Nicklaus Legacy course.

Further east, The Els Club Desaru Coast is a proper golf trip, with the Ocean Course by Ernie Els running along the South China Sea and the Valley Course inland. Back in town, MST Golf Arena at Toppen has one of the region's biggest indoor golf floors. Weekday rates and Malaysian promotions vary, so check the visitor rate in each listing.
