The Jewel of Kedah & Rainforest Fairways
Island Golf in Paradise
Known as the Jewel of Kedah, Langkawi is an archipelago of 99 islands on Malaysia’s west coast. It offers a truly exotic golfing escape, combining duty-free luxury, ultra-high-end resorts, and stunning UNESCO-protected geological formations.
The crown jewel of Langkawi golf is undoubtedly **The Els Club Teluk Datai**, voted one of the world's most scenic courses. Here, the fairways meander through million-year-old rainforests directly down to the turquoise Andaman Sea. With a relaxed island pace and exclusive atmosphere, Langkawi is the ultimate destination for golfers seeking tranquility and raw natural beauty.

Langkawi Travel Tips for Golfers
Logistics: Langkawi is easily accessible via a short 1-hour flight from Kuala Lumpur. We recommend private transfers as the island is larger than most expect, and the drive to the Datai Bay area is a scenic journey through the jungle.
Dress Code: While Langkawi has a relaxed "island vibe," clubhouses maintain standard golf attire. However, given the humidity, we suggest high-performance moisture-wicking fabrics.
Wildlife: It is common to see Macaques and monitor lizards on the course. They are part of the Langkawi charm—just keep a close eye on any loose items in your golf cart!
