Why Stay in Johor

Johor offers two distinct golfing experiences. In the west, Johor Bahru provides high-end city golf at world-class suburban clubs like Horizon Hills. To the east, the Desaru Coast has been transformed into a luxury seaside enclave, featuring 17 kilometers of pristine beach and the incredible Els Club Desaru Coast.

Whether you are looking for a weekend trip from Singapore or a week-long immersion in luxury at a remote beachfront villa, Johor delivers. With the rise of the Desaru Coast, golfers can now enjoy an "integrated resort" experience that rivals the best in the world, combining championship golf with family-friendly waterparks and elite wellness retreats.

Johor Golf Highlights

  • The Els Club Desaru Coast: Home to the 'Ocean Course' (with views of the South China Sea) and the 'Valley Course' (a technical masterpiece designed by Vijay Singh).
  • Horizon Hills: Regularly ranked as the best-conditioned course in Malaysia, offering a tour-standard challenge.
  • Luxury Integration: Desaru Coast is home to the ultra-exclusive One&Only and Anantara resorts.
  • Proximity to Singapore: Perfect for a seamless multi-country golf itinerary via land or ferry.
  • Family Appeal: Excellent for non-golfing family members with Adventure Waterparks and premium shopping outlets.
