Malaysia

Malaysia offers some of the best-value golf in the region, from the parkland clubs around Kuala Lumpur to the Ernie Els-designed courses at Desaru Coast and Teluk Datai. Johor Bahru is a short drive across the Causeway, which makes it the weekend golf escape for many Singaporeans, while Penang and Langkawi pair a round with a beach break.

Many Malaysian clubs offer night golf under floodlights, and visitor rates on weekdays are often a fraction of weekend prices. Indoor golf has taken off too, with MST Golf Arena and other simulator studios in the big malls. Pick Kuala Lumpur, Johor Bahru, Penang or Langkawi to see the courses, ranges and indoor venues with fees, hours and booking links.
