Some golf courses were not attractive due to their own doings

My interest in playing golf at Kundang Lakes has grown less and less. Kundang's fairway were quite alright but not the green which was poorly maintained, despite they has grown some degree of popularity when they replaced turfmate with buggy.

The thought of me going all the way to Lembah Beringin also has waned down due to the 50% increase of green fees for SSG Pemier card holders. The dreaded distance of 70 km drive plus toll charges and higher green fees charges by SSG Lembah Berining management made Lembah Beringin my lowest choice for now.

We golfers must make our thought known to them (the golf club management). If we feel the increases of green fees is unacceptable, we should move away and find other alternative venue.

Meet Menteri Besar Perak

On Saturday 07Mar09 on my way to work I happened to bump into Menteri Besar Perak, YB Dato Seri Mohamad Nizar Jamaluddin.

At first, noticed familiar car plate number AGS10 black toyota camry. Then I met the person himself, he is on the way to High Court Jalan Duta. Wish him luck!

The Club @ Bukit Utama (Bukti Utama Clubhouse)

My first turun padang was Bukit Utama 9 holes golf course. It was just a simple small building back then and the green fee was relatively cheap. Although it was the public golf course I find that is club was not popular maybe it was 9 holes golf course. The fairway was quite tight and it is quite challenging as you find that there are quite a number of condos built within the golf course.

Anyway, as it was my first time I do not have any other know golf course to compare so back then I find playing at Bukit Utama was very enjoing whenever I can find time.

Now, I revisit that place...finding the course was about the same except it is much more well maintained.

This club is situated right in Pelangi Damansara, Kota Damansara. Very near the Curve.

I find the newly upgraded The Club @ Bukit Utama is very much suitable for family creational activities. The club was completed with the sport facilities – squash, tennis, badminton and gym. It also comes with 50 m Olympic size swimming pool and also small pool ala Water Park.

PDRM Tasik Titiwangsa

Played at Tasik Titiwangsa PDRM golf course on Saturday Feb 14, 2009.

It's a valentine day and wish all a happy valentine!!

What a treat..I find myself playing at Tasika Titiwangsa for the first time. Thanks to my friend Anuar Osman who recomended this place. Although it is a 9 holes golf course, I found that this place was very well maintained. The golf course is surrounded by the city skyline..you can really feel that you are right in the city and playing golf!!!

Golf game this weekend

Saturday 14Feb09 – PDRM Tasik Titiwangsa

I was made to understand that Kinrara Golf booking thru’ SSG was temporary stop until next month 01Mar09. Monterez and Danau will be closed over these weekends to make way for the golf tournament. Most of the golf clubs around KV were fully booked this time around and making harder to do a booking. (Alternative, go to driving range)

To make matter worst, Kundang Lake telephone lines broken down over the past 2 days – which explained hearing ringing tone that was left unanswered. Now the phone line is in order. Contact Number: 03-6034 2725

Note
Malaysia Open now is at Saujana from Thursday (12Feb09) to Sunday (15Feb09) – great if you can make it there – to see the great players playing before you.

Rugged, tough and long /Danau /40 /Yes
Well maintained /Kinrara /55 /Ok
Fantastic green (5 star) /Lembah Beringin/ 40 /Yes

#based on weekends using SSG Premier card.

Next target: To play at Tasik Puteri on 02Feb09

There is so much positive feedback from those who have been playing there. May be the downside was that the trees there are still young trees, so it is more "hotter" playing there, but the upside is that you may be kept "cool" by those pretty caddie pampering you? (Allahuhalam).

Weekend program

Will be playing golf this weekend
24Jan09 Kundang Lakes and Country Club
25Jan09 Bukit Kemuning Golf and Country Resort

I am looking forward to play at this resort golf course on Sunday. Bukit Kemuning Golf & Country Resort boasts an 18-hole par 72 course with lush greenery and quality golf playability.
