Damai Laut Golf & Country Club

The Damai Laut Golf & Country Club is located near the Malaysian town of Lumut in the northern state of Perak. It lies between the mouth of the Sempit river and the road of Malakka on the grounds of the Swiss Garden Beach Resort Damai Laut and provides a grand view of the island of Pangkor and the tropical forest of Teluk Kopiah. From Lumut’s center, the Damai Laut Golf & Country Club can be reached in about 40 minutes. The club opened an 18-hole links course with par 72 in 1997, conceptualized by the well-known American golf course architect Ronald W. Fream. He created a versatile course with a length of 6,600 meters, comprised of the two 9-hole loops Lake Nine and Hill Nine. The Lake Nine are determined by water hazards in the form of ponds and lakes. Holes 1 and 8 are the only ones not affected by these. There are elevated greens, many bunkers and palm trees, as well as beautiful views of the sea. The Hill Nine run along much more hilly terrain and are shaped by numerous sand bunkers. Therefore, the island green at hole 13 is not surrounded by water, but instead by sand. The signature hole at the Damai Laut Golf & Country Club is hole 15, which leads directly to the ocean. The championship course boasts one of the most beautiful layouts in Malaysia and can be mastered by both golf novices and experienced golfers.
