Tiara Melaka Golf Country Club

Tiara Melaka Golf Country Club is a 27 hole course containing three-nine, namely the Lake course, the Meadow course and the Woodlands course.

The superb Woodlands-nine, 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.

Meanwhile, the Meadow-nine gives solid support to the Woodlands; although very well laid out, it doesn’t quite provide the same level of naturalness or tropical scenery. The best stretch of holes on the Meadow-nine are the final three, with 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 right side of the 18th.

The Lakes-nine, although containing some enjoyable and testing holes, is not quite in the same league as the Woodlands or Meadow, the combination on which most tournaments are played. However, maintenance at Tiara Melaka is generally good. Although if improved a few notches, this is a layout that could challenge for top honors among Malaysia’s very best.
