About 50km (31 miles) to the southwest of Kuala Lumpur by the coast, you’ll find the fantastic Amverton Cove Golf Island Resort. The course has the feel of a links course. It features many hazards including: sand hazards, lakes, ponds, mangrove forests and lush flora. This is very much a course that feels at one with nature. It is a par 72 5,594 yard delight. Onsite accommodation has everything from luxury villas to various types of rooms. The villas are very plush and modern. All in all this is a fantastic stay and play golf in Malaysia venue.
I have concentrated mainly on the Kuala Lumpur area because it makes for less stress and travel on a golfing holiday. With so many amazing golf clubs here, planning a stay and play golf in Malaysia holiday, can be an overwhelming proposition.
