Malaysia’s top 5 golf courses near Singapore

Golf is on the upswing in Malaysia. With more than 200 golf courses, the Southeast Asian country has something for golfers of all ages, from top golf tournaments to luxurious golf beach resorts.

One of the most popular golfing areas in Malaysia is Johor, home to the most golf courses in the nation.

Malaysia’s second-most populous state, Johor lies across Johor Strait from Singapore.

Many of Johor’s courses can be found in and around Johor Bahru, the state capital and Malaysia’s second-largest city. Johor Bahru lies about 300 kilometres southeast of Kuala Lumpur.

The Johor–Singapore Causeway and the Malaysia–Singapore Second Link connect Johor and Singapore, so it’s easy to travel back and forth if you crave some cross-border golfing action.

You can read more about the Malaysia-Singapore golf connection in my Travel Wire Asia article, titled, "Malaysia’s top 5 golf courses near Singapore."
