Kelab Golf Sarawak
Approaching the golf course, one cannot help but take notice of the imposing pyramid-like clubhouse. Built upon 320 acres of swampland and jungle, the golf course was opened in 1985. There are total two 18-hole golf courses.
The Matang Nine and the Santubong Nine make up one 18-hole course while the Siol Nine and the Demak Nine make up the other 18-hole course. Though there are no well known designer names, the courses are challenging in that there are numerous hazards, with a good mix of bunkers, and lakes which are well placed to ensure that the serious golfers stop to think before executing the next shot.
