Golfing in Penang

Penang is one of Malaysia's most iconic destinations, famous for its UNESCO-listed George Town, incredible street food scene, and vibrant culture. For golfers, it offers a delightful variety of experiences, from the manicured greens of Penang Golf Club near the city to the expansive fairways of Penang Golf Resort on the mainland.

A golf trip here is never just about the game. It is about teeing off in the morning, exploring colonial architecture in the afternoon, and enjoying the world's best laksa or char kway teow by the sea in the evening. It is the perfect blend of sport and leisure.
