Golf Holidays in Malaysia

Golf Holidays in Malaysia

How about a holiday break in Malaysia including a few games of golf? You can take a direct flight from most Australian state capitals to Kuala Lumpur or Singapore and be there in anywhere between 4 and 8 hours depending on where in Australia you are coming from. There are same day connections for the short hops to other points in Malaysia.

Malaysia has a great range of accommodation to suit all budgets and tastes and a wide variety of fantastic food which reflects its cosmopolitan nature. There are about 200 Golf Courses and Resorts located throughout Peninsular Malaysia, the nearby islands of Penang and Langkawi and further afield in Sabah and Sarawak on the island of Borneo.

We can tailor an itinerary to suit your requirements mixing in as much or as little golf as is desired. We can also ensure that those partners and friends who are not such big fans of golf have plenty of alternatives available at the resorts to keep them entertained and contented as well. Many of the golf courses are part of resorts that have accommodation and other facilities including swimming pools, sauna and massage facilities and restaurants as well as other sporting facilities. Some are located close to the bigger cities giving plenty of opportunities for shopping and other city options. And of course it all occurs in a warm tropical climate usually tempered by a sea or mountain breeze in the afternoon and evening. 

If you are interested in travel to Malaysia, combining golf with other pleasures, please go to our Contact & Enquiries page and provide us with your details so that we can tailor a vacation to Malaysia to your requirements.
