Cinta Sayang Golf & Country Club

The Cinta Sayang Golf & Country Club lies close to the city of Sungai Petani in the state of Kedah, which is situated in northern Malaysia. It sits on a large, flat plot of 77 hectares with several lakes and the Gunung Gerai Mountain in the background, which is part of the Cinta Sayang Resort. From Sungai Petani’s town center, the Cinta Sayang Golf & Country Club is just 15 minutes away, and about 50 minutes from Kedah’s capital of Alor Setar. It was established in 1989 by His Royal Highness, the Sultan of Kedah, and is home to an 18-hole parkland course with par 72. The course has a length of 6,696 meters and presents broad fairways densely lined by trees, several doglegs, but especially large and small lakes as water hazards. These come into play at 13 of the 18 holes and must bravely be played across by golfers at 4 of these. The 2nd hole is particularly difficult, with an island green that must be played across twice. But the peninsula green at hole 3 isn’t much easier. The Cinta Sayang Golf & Country Club boasts the first 18-hole course in Kedah with a practice area in which golfers can hang around at the club’s own driving range and putting green to practice. Rental clubs and electric carts are available to rent.
