The north eastern states Pahang, Kelantan and Terengganu have several excellent golf courses. These three provinces are maybe more visited for the National parks (Taman Negara), Cameron Highlands and the tea plantations, Genting Highlands, Bukit Tingi and Frazer Hill. And conveniently I skip the excellent islands where many tourist enjoy themselves with diving in the tropical waters and swim as if in an aquarium Playing golf in this part of Malaysia should not be discarded. Some of the most scenic golf courts of Malaysia are found here. Maybe this overview gives fewer golf courses but they are not of lesser quality. On the contrary, golfing on the east coast is another step on the ladder, so to say. The natural beauty is even more abundant then in other areas in Malaysia. So, let's see where you can play. You can click on the name of the golf course on the map below. Awana Genting Highlands Golf and Country ResortGolfing in Malaysia in the highlands is quite an experience. The Awana Genting Highlands Golf and Country Resort is your place! Play golf in the cool air of Genting Highlands. It's about 45 minutes drive from Kuala Lumpur via the Karak Highway. The Awana Genting Highlands Golf and Country Resort is located at the east coast though which shows that Malaysia is not that big after all. The Genting Highlands are nearby. With the Genting Highlands nearby, other entertainment is also available. Themeparks, swimming pools and trekking are only a few of the other options. Awana Genting Highlands Golf and Country Resort is a 18 hole, 71 par course and designed by Ronald Fream. Awana Genting Highlands Golf and Country Resort

Astana Golf & Country ClubThe Astana Golf & Country Club is the most renown golf club in Kuantan, located only 15 minutes drive from the Kuantan city center. The nickname of this 27 hole, 72 par championship course is "The Gem of the East" which has obviously to do with the way the course is build in the rolling hills. There's a quite a few water elements in the course makes the course a challenge, even for experienced golfers. Other facilities include tennis courts, swimming pool, sauna, children's playground and a good restaurant. Astana Golf & Country Club Bukit Tinggi Golf & Country ClubThe Bukit Tinggi Golf & Country Club is a 40 minutes drive from Kuala Lumpur and 10km off the East-West Karak Highway. Like the Awana, Bukit Tinggi is located in the hills which creates a beautiful natural scenery but also a challenging course. The rolling hills ay 1000 meter altitude make it maybe a bit cooler but not easier. You will play through bunker and water ponds but if you miss the ball might end up in the jungle and will be really lost. Bukit Tinggi Golf & Country Club
