Kuala Lampur

January 26, 2018 by Dianne Hutton

Kuala Lumpur is the capital city of Malaysia, boasting gleaming skyscrapers, colonial architecture, charming locals, and a myriad of natural attractions. The Malaysian capital is known for its multicultural community, which mainly consists of Malay, Indian, and Chinese residents. KL is widely recognised for numerous landmarks, including Petronas Twin Towers (the world’s tallest twin skyscrapers), Petaling Street flea market, and Batu Caves, which is over 400 million years old. There are expansive shopping malls like Pavilion KL and Suria KLCC hosting a wide range of upmarket labels from all over the world. There is also the abundance of gastronomic delights – with thousands of hawker stalls, cafes, and restaurants serving every imaginable type of delicacies.
The Saujana Hotel is in the midst of lush tropical gardens with views of the lake or the golf courses. There are two 18 hole courses The Runga Raya and Palm. The Palm Course was carved out of the rugged terrain of a former oil palm plantation and is characterised by dense patches of palms along the fairways and numerous bunkers. The terrain is quite rugged with water coming into play on at least seven of the holes. With the nickname of “The Cobra” this course can be deadly to the scorecards of any golfer. You might get “bitten” as early as the par-3. 2nd which is rated the most difficult par 3 in the country. Miss the green and at best you end up in one of the deep bunkers or if you really get it wrong then your ball could end up in the thick jungle. Even if you do make the green the severe borrows and undulations make a 3-putt almost inevitable. The 6th is one of the toughest on the course with a severely sloping fairway with trees either side and its length requires a long iron or rescue club to a protected green. The 13th is a par-5 which is reachable in two, so they say,  but with an island green you need to very brave to attempt this. Sure sounds like we had better have saved a few balls for this challenge.
