This 6964 yards par 72 course was built in 1972 with Serangoon greens and cowgrass fairways. In 1991/92 the course was upgraded. The greens and tees were rebuilt using Bermuda grass. More ponds and bunkers were incorporated to make the course more challenging.
An excellent layout with good segregation between adjacent fairways provided by mature trees and open spaces. Much of the original jungle has been retained, creating a naturally scenic course. Spread over undulating terrain, the course provides a mental as well as golfing challenge. Royal Johor is one of Malaysia's big courses and favours long hitters. It features generous fairways on most holes.
Visitors are welcome but on weekends and on public holidays there is a time sheet in operation and as such advance booking is necessary. Being a private member's Club, the Royal Johor Country Club has a very tight schedule of tournaments, especially during weekends. It is best to check with the Club before you plan a visit. Weekday mornings are usually free.
