Poresia Golf Club was established in 1990. The name ‘Poresia’ is a combination of the ‘Pore’ of Singapore and ‘Sia’ of Malaysia, and it symbolizes the link between two countries and the cooperation of those who brought the resort into existence. The Club boasted a championship golf course designed by Pete Dye, a renowned international golf course designer. The original course layout contained four interchangeable 9-hole loops; presenting a challenging course to cater to both amateur and professional golfers.
In 2018, Poresia Golf Club was acquired by Walker Corporation, one of the Australia’s largest private development companies. Since then, the golf course has undergone an extensive reconfiguration and refurbishment programme to transform it into a spectacular 18-hole golf course that retains the traits of the original design.
In 2020, the golf club was renamed SENIBONG GOLF CLUB.
Ensconced within a panoramic natural landscape of a former palm-oil plantation, the 120-acre 18-hole golf course presents a perfect golf experience for players of all abilities. Appreciate the stunning golf grounds with natural environs of palm-oil trees, flowers, flowing streams and tropical birds.
The First Nine is challenging from the start to finish; extracting every ounce of skill from the golfers. The First Nine offers the golfer a wide fairway to hit off the drives and challenges the approach with uneven contours.
The Second Nine sets its style with its undulating terrain lined with palm-oil trees. The side fairways are flanked by large sand bunkers and deep troughs beyond the first cut of the fairway. Its terrain surprises with more water hazards that test the golfer’s judgement. A few of the holes have creeks crossing the fairways twice; setting up some excellent risk-reward opportunities for long hitters.
The golf course is well-maintained, especially so around the large gently contoured greens and their many run-off areas. The wonderfully elevated tee-boxes provide excellent views of the long downhill and surrounding natural landscape.
