From the North-South Highway (E1), north-east of Melaka, take the Ayer Keroh exit. Turn left at traffic lights (after the zoo). After 3 km golf is on your left.
Tiara Melaka Golf & Country Club: Within its 27-hole layout, Tiara Melaka contains the superb Woodland-nine, as good a nine-hole loop of jungle golf as you'll find anywhere in Malaysia. With dense jungle lining the way, and a few monkeys probably looking on, this immensely attractive rain forest environment contains many pleasantly undulating and very picturesque holes.
The par-4 3rd on the Woodland layout is a gem, requiring a strategic decision on the tee, either lay-up and leave a longer approach shot, or drive over a stream that diagonally crosses the fairway, with a tall cluster of trees as your marker.
The Meadow-nine gives solid support to the Woodland. Although very well laid out, it doesn't quite provide the same level of naturalness or tropical scenery. The final three holes on the Meadow-nine provide an excellent finish. There's plenty of water to be crossed, towering trees to be avoided (on the fairway at 17!) and a fairway hugging lake to be avoided all the way along the rightside of the 18th.
The Lake-nine, although containing some enjoyable and testing holes, is not quite in the same league as the Woodland or Meadow, the combination on which most tournaments are played.
Although the immaculate greens are large (occasionally huge), the fairways vary from good-width to testingly tight. Maintenance at Tiara Melaka is generally good, although if improved a few notches, this is a layout that could challenge for inclusion amongst Malaysia's very best.
Visitors welcome on weekdays and weekends.

Tiara Melaka's club logo depicts the world's smallest deer, the mouse deer, which is also the state symbol for Malacca.
Just outside the city of Malacca (in the Malay language Melaka) you'll find four well-rated and enjoyable golf courses. 35 km N of the city centre is the A'Famosa Resort and a Ross Watson design. Just 15 km NE of the centre are three clubs that almost touch at their boundaries: Ayer Keroh (Ghaffar Baba), Tiara Melaka (Nelson & Wright) and Orna (Andy Dye).

The Masters: The 88th Masters Tournament at Augusta National sees LIV golfer Jon Rahm defend his title against the world’s best. Pressing hard will be world No.1 and 2022 champion Scottie Scheffler and world No.2 Rory McIlroy (April 11-14).
Chevron Championship: the women’s major championship season gets underway for the second year at its new Carlton Woods home outside Houston, Texas. World No.2 Lilia Vu defends (April 18-21).
Nelly Korda: records a perfect start to 2024 with four wins out of her last four appearances on the LPGA Tour, a feat last achieved by Lorena Ochoa in 2008. Korda's win at the T-Mobile Match Play brought up her 12th LPGA Tour victory.
Scottie Scheffler: narrowly missed out on matching Nelly Korda’s three-in-three, when he placed second at the Houston Open. This followed back-to-back wins at the Arnold Palmer Invitational and The Players. Like Korda, he remains comfortably ahead in the official world golf rankings.
Marco Simone Golf & Country Club: With a clubhouse that might befit a Roman Emperor, and a golf course to match, you can be sure of a memorable outing at Rome's most talked about golf facility.
Jim Fazio's original layout was much changed to create a modern Ryder Cup course ... now one of the Eternal City's (and Italy's) most revered.
Here at Prince’s Golf Club you'll find 27 excellent holes of links golf. Just over the fence and sharing similar terrain is Royal St George’s; but Prince’s is far from overshadowed by its venerable neighbour. The three nine-hole loops at Prince's, laid out over gently undulating terrain, are sure to bring a smile of satisfaction to all lovers of links golf.
Stay&Play at Prince's: excellent onsite Lodge accommodation available
