A 36‑hole resort on former palm estate with two distinct 18s. The longer Hill Course rides undulating ground with elevated greens and fewer water carries; the Lake Course tightens the test with island‑green drama and hazards in play on many holes. Zoysia fairways and Tifdwarf greens, a 48‑bay range, and full family facilities make Bukit Jawi one of the North’s most versatile venues.

Designed by J. Michael Poellot (1999), Kulim’s par‑72 championship layout blends broad, rolling corridors with strategically placed lakes and bunkers. The signature 6th is a demanding uphill par‑4 flanked by pines and palms with water and sand guarding a narrow green. A complete clubhouse and sports complex support an all‑day destination 15–20 minutes from Butterworth.

Penang Island’s sole championship 18: a Robert Trent Jones Jr. design (1984; revamped 2012) defined by sharp doglegs, dramatic downhill tee shots and compact, cleverly bunkered greens. Accuracy trumps power on this urban‑tropical hillside, host of the 1992 Malaysian Open. Practice range and city‑side convenience complete the package.

The preferred championship side at Kepala Batas: long, contoured fairways, smaller targets and water on many holes demand disciplined approach play. Upgrades since 2019 improved surfaces and drainage; today the East plays as a friendly‑but‑serious test with full resort facilities and generous practice grounds.

Graham Marsh’s West mirrors the East in look and feel but emphasizes doglegs and larger water hazards, especially on the back nine. Wide zoysia fairways keep tee shots welcoming while heavily bunkered greens demand precise trajectories. Periodic upgrades and ongoing works have seen the resort prioritize East play at times.
