Bukit Jawi Golf Resort
Nestled within a breathtaking landscape adorned with verdant tropical foliage, Bukit Jawi Golf Resort is an exquisite golfing haven, inviting enthusiasts to indulge yearround. Strategically positioned in Sungai Bakap, just off the NorthSouth Expressway (PLUS) at the Jawi interchange, this remarkable destination lies a mere thirty minutes from the enchanting Penang Island.

The resplendent azure sky and the warm embrace of the tropical sun create an alluring atmosphere for golfers seeking adventure. The resort boasts an impressive 36-hole international championship golf course, sprawling across 315 acres of palm-fringed fairways and contoured lakes that enhance the undulating terrain. This course encapsulates all the essential elements for a pleasurable and challenging golfing experience.

The fairways and tee boxes feature lush Zoysia Matrella, while the greens luxuriate under Bermuda Tifdwarf’s care. The Hill Course, an 18-hole par 72 championship layout, measures 6,385 metres. With its lengthy and undulating fairways, complemented by strategically positioned hazards, this course demands precision in every facet of a golfer’s game, from stroke accuracy to effective course management. It is a formidable skill test, even for the most accomplished players.

Conversely, the Lake Course, comprising 18 holes and a par 72, stretches over 6,163 metres. Though the holes are comparatively shorter, the abundance of water hazards and sand bunkers safeguarding the greens elevates the importance of accuracy and finesse in the short game. The par three 15th hole, featuring an island green, stands out as the signature challenge, ensuring that every round on the Lake Course becomes an unforgettable experience.

For those wishing to hone their skills, a two-tiered, 48-bay driving range and short game practice facilities await eager golfers. Knowledgeable golf teaching professionals are on hand to guide those aspiring to elevate their game. A well-appointed pro shop, along with golf carts, enhances convenience, and the luxurious and spacious changing rooms offer a wealth of comforts, including a rejuvenating jacuzzi and a serene sauna room, ensuring a genuinely indulgent visit for every guest. The commitment to delivering an exceptional golfing experience remains paramount at Bukit Jawi Golf Resort.

The dual international golf courses, complemented by exceptional clubhouse facilities, amplify Bukit Jawi Golf Resort’s appeal as the quintessential venue for corporate tournaments and outings. The dedicated golfing, food, and beverage team collaborates with all groups before, during, and after each event to guarantee its success. Tailored pre- and post-event banquets can be seamlessly arranged to meet specific requirements.

The meticulous organisation of tournaments, including custom pairing, scoring, and management of contests such as nearest the pin and longest drive competitions, falls entirely within the capable hands of the resort, allowing guests to unwind and revel in a thoroughly enjoyable experience. The resort also provides multifaceted bespoke tournament packages and group rates for catering, beverages, prizes, awards, lucky draws, and on-course events to accommodate various needs.
