PLANTATION COURSE
The Best Golfing Experience in South Malaysia ! “Plantation” course was designed by Max Wexler and was opened for play in November 1992. This course was designed and constructed with the priority of preserving and enhancing the natural surroundings. The area was once a thriving oil palm plantation with living quarters and houses for workers who cultivated fruit orchards and coconut groves as a means of supplementing their income. Original cultivated parts of these plantations and orchards are incorporated in the present landscape, as evident in the large number of oil palm fringing the fairways, as well as fruit trees on Holes 4, 6, 7, 14, 15 and 17 where durian, mango, jack fruit, rambutan trees and coconut palms are preserved.

A Golfer’s Challenge Designed by Akira Mamiya and is constructed following closely to the coastline of the Straits of Johor. This exclusive 6,163 metre 18-hole course is the latest addition to the Tanjong Puteri collection, designating a more accurate playing strategy.

A very challenging course for the golfer who has to cope with the undulating terrain, rocky outcrops, mangroves for roughs and strong prevailing winds from the Straits.

Work on “Village” course began in August 1994, designed by Akira Mamiya. The area originally was part of the oil palm estate with human settlements or “Kampongs” which form a part of the village hierarchy under the administration of the “Ketua Kampong” (Village Head) of Pasir Putih. These kampongs are known as Kampong Seri Aman I & II, parts of which can be seen at the fringes of holes 6, 11 & 12. A few kilometres east of Sungai Kim Kim on the west bank of Sungai Johor exists a village known as KAMPONG PERIGI ACHEH which according to history was founded in mid-17th century when the Achenes attacked the then Johor Empire. Thirteen out of the eighteen holes of the “Village” course have water bodies bordering their fairways or greens. With a blend of hills, valleys and lakes, the “Village” course’s 18-hole provides
