Previously known as Bukit Tinggi, the Berjaya Hills course is a stylish and wonderfully testing championship layout, skilfully woven into some of the world's oldest rain forest. Stunning tropical flora covers the steep hills on either side of this out-and-back layout (where the 9th hole is farthest away from the clubhouse). Some rather un-jungle like structures look down onto the course from one of the tree-covered ridges - structures that include an Alsace styled hotel village (modelled on Colmar in France) and a huge French chateau conference centre. Somehow they do actually fit in with the surroundings ! The steep-sided hills are mirrored on the golf course by the often "himalayan" ridges and peaks of the distinctive earthmounding, and extravagant slopes on the greens. With the possible exception of the par-4 4th (which requires a very precisely judged tee shot, then blind approach shot over a jungle-filled ravine), the holes here are well-designed, excellently bunkered, always testing and probing, but not always excessively penal for the occasional wayward shot. There is room to breath ! Among the most scenic holes (and there's plenty of them), the downhill par-5 10th is bordered by fabulous dense jungle on its right side. The also downhill 12th is as good a risk-reward, go-for-the-green par-4 as you'll find. The par-5 18th brings the round to a fitting and dramatic finish, with a tough approach shot over water to a rocky-fronted, elevated green.
