The par-72 18-hole
championship golf course consists of the Palma
and Rimba Nines. Being a resort course, it is
designed to allow golfers to play a relaxing
game. But rest assured it is difficult,
challenging and the monsoon season plays havoc
with the club selection and your score cards.
Even professionals found the going difficult on
this golf course, especially on the Rimba Nine.
The 15th 480 yards par 4 is particularly a jinx
hole for pros. Professionals found that after
playing well on 14 holes, they fumbled very
badly on the 15th dropping 8-10 strokes.
Another
interesting hole is the par 3 181 yards 4th
which requires a full water carry to the green.
A one wood should get you on the green safely.
If short you land in the pond, overclubbing will
land the ball into OB. The hole is a popular
hole-in-one during tournaments.
The par 3 150
yards 14th is not difficult by any measure but
it's certainly one of the most scenic holes. The
green is set out on the beach surrounded by the
longest beach bunker in the country, which
during the monsoon becomes a water hazard. At
the Awana Kijal Golf Course, you are invited to
enjoy the scents, sights and atmosphere of the
relaxing beach, courtesy of mother nature. All
while having an invigorating round of golf. |
