Rediscover highlands golfing
There is nothing
like an invigorating game of golf made more
pleasurable by the salubrious mountain air on a
Ronald Fream designed championship golf course.
Indeed the refreshing cool wind on the golf
course is a welcome change from the heat and
humidity of the lowlands.
Your short game
skill, especially putting should come in handy
at Awana's Bent-grass greens which are
exceptionally fast. There is no rough here but a
severe hook or slice could land your ball into
the surrounding primary forest. Precision is all
important in this layout.
While all 18 holes
are challenging in their own way, there are
several golfers may want to take note of. The
par 3 fourth is a scenic and dramatic hole with
a personality of its own. It is a hole for the
accurate player, as the pond fronting the green
will punish weak hitters and the canyon at the
back will penalise all strong hitters.
The eighteen is a
fitting challenging finishing hole. Tee shots
must be of decent length to avoid the large
fairway bunkers. A slice will end up in the
ravine. The approach shot must land not bounce
onto the three-tiered and dramatically-contoured
green which slopes back toward the sandtrap in
front.
The Awana Genting
Highlands golf course is truly an exhilarating
golf course that is different from the rest. |
