Langkawi

Langkawi's standout course is The Els Club Teluk Datai, an Ernie Els design that winds through ancient rainforest at the foot of Mount Mat Cincang before finishing by the Andaman Sea.

It is one of the most scenic rounds in Malaysia, with monkeys and hornbills for company. Visitors are welcome and the green fee includes a shared buggy, so it pairs easily with a stay at the Datai Bay resorts.
