A'Famosa Golf Resort

A’Famosa Golf Resort is located about 25 minutes from the Melaka Airport or a 45 minute drive from Kuala Lumpur International Airport. Build on 520 hectares (almost 1300 acres) this property includes a high-rise hotel, two condotel towers and a multitude of suites up to 5-bedrooms villas with private pools to choose from. They also have a Cowboy Town, Water World, Animal World Safari and activities like horseback riding, fishing, go-carting, archery, paintball, biking with a free shuttle bus to get you around and keep the whole family busy.

There are 27 holes here to play and as their monikers may suggest – the Palms plays though coconut trees that line these fairways, whereas the Rocky nine is named after the boulder outcrops and the Crocodile nine is built next to a crocodile pit with a daunting island green. Although these courses are relatively flat they feature rolling fairways, lots of water and plenty of bunkering to contend with.

A’Famosa has been voted “Top Ten Golf Courses” in the country and my personal favourite. Not only is it challenging but also very picturesque.
