Bukit Jawi (Lake)
Bukit Jawi Golf Resort (Lake course): Laid out on pleasantly and continually undulating terrain, Bukit Jawi can boast two excellent, challenging and absorbing championship layouts. The Lake course, rather than the slightly longer Hill course, will challenge your shot-making and course management in equal measure, while also serving up many of Bukit Jawi's most visually impressive holes.
With plenty of elevation changes, water menacingly present on over half the course and a few sharp dog-legs to negotiate, accuracy rather than length is often at a premium here. On several occasions you may need to keep the driver in the bag and play well-positioned irons or three-woods, setting up your approach shots to the undulating and never easy to read greens.
Especially on the back-nine there are some wonderful views across the course from its higher elevations, as well as lily-filled water hazards and a liberal scattering of palms and other tree varieties, all contributing to the Lake's very pleasant, parkland credentials.
Among many scenic holes, the attractive par-3 island green 15th steals the show. Played from an elevated tee, you'll get a excellent view of the green's rocky frontage and its seriously protective bunkering. The par-4 18th, rather than an island green, has a water enclosed section of "island" fairway, onto which you may need to lay-up before playing a long second shot uphill towards the green.
Visitors welcome on weekdays and weekends.
Must book in advance. Handicap required.
Golf carts available for hire. Caddies compulsory (subject to availability).
Excellent, including a two-tier driving range.
Bukit Jawi Golf Resort, not unlike several other Malaysian golf course developments, occupies what was formerly a palm tree plantation.
The resort is one of a group of clubs/resorts that work together to promote golf in the state of Penang, both on the mainland and the island of Penang. The others include Penang Golf Club (on the island), and Penang Golf Resort, with its East and West courses.
