Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia -- When it comes to finding the best golf courses in Southeast Asia, Malaysia is at the top of the privileged list. The country boasts of having several fine golf courses that are at par with the best in the world. Two of these are found within The Saujana Golf and Country Club.

The Saujana Golf and Country Club is a premier golf resort found in the Malaysian state of Selangor. It is only 15 kilometers east of Kuala Lumpur. Its two world-renowned 18-hole golf courses are the Palm Course and the Bunga Raya Course. The Palm Course, considered as a championship course, has achieved a reputation among professional golfers as the toughest and most challenging golf course there is. Its hole routings have several twists and turns that prove to be difficult for golf enthusiasts.

The Bunga Raya Course on the other hand features extensive greens with flowery shrubs scattered along its gentle slopes. “The Crocodile,” as this golf course is also known, has four sets of tees that measure varyingly from 6,819 to 6,296 yards. These two golf courses comprise 400 acres of Bermuda fairways and Bermuda Tifdwarf green. The Saujana’s 72 par courses also have a 250-meter driving range, putting greens, and bunkers.

Completed in 1986, the Palm Course and the Bunga Raya Course have since received numerous international recognitions – with the former heralded as the Best Championship Course in Asia by the Asian Golf Monthly, 2005 and the latter ranking at number three in Malaysia in Planet Golf World Rankings, according to Golf Digest, 2008. The Saujana Golf and Country Club hosted the 2002 World Amateur Golf Team Championships and seven Malaysian Opens.

A few walks away from The Saujana Golf and Country Club is The Saujana Kuala Lumpur Hotel – a five-star hotel in Shah Alam, Selangor offering 208 classy rooms and a wide range of facilities.
