Malaysia’s 6 most picturesque golf courses

Malaysia features some of the most beautiful scenery in the world, and as I recently discovered while writing an article for Travel Wire Asia, some of the most beautiful golf courses.

The South China Sea splits Malaysia into two regions: Peninsular (West) Malaysia, and Malaysian Borneo, or East Malaysia. Both regions feature gorgeous scenery, such as white sand beaches, lush tropical rain forests and cool green mountains.

And both regions feature gorgeous golf courses that challenge golfers of all levels. Although Malaysia has more than 200 golf courses, my article takes a look at "Malaysia’s 6 most picturesque golf courses."

マレーシアでのダイビングのお相手はジンベエザメ?!


In an article published Nov. 7 on Travel Wire Asia, my wife writes about diving with whale sharks in Malaysia. Titled, "マレーシアでのダイビングのお相手はジンベエザメ?!," the article explores some of the best places in Malaysia for spotting whale sharks, such as Lankayan Island, or "ランカヤン島" in Japanese.

She also writes about some of the other marine life you might encounter in Malaysia's waters, including dolphins, manta rays and sea turtles.

Her article is based on my English article, "7 most exotic species to dive with in Malaysia."

マレーシアのゴルフビーチリゾート: グリーン×マリンブルー

My wife, whose Japanese name is ハンター武田麻里, recently had another article published on Travel Wire Asia. In the article, titled, "マレーシアのゴルフビーチリゾート: グリーン×マリンブルー ," she takes a look at some of Malaysia's top golf beach resorts. Her article is a distilled version of an English article I wrote, titled, "Malaysia’s top 5 golf beach resorts."

Both articles describe how these resorts feature luxurious accommodations, fine dining, and beautiful golf courses.

Malaysia's golf beach resorts also provide a host of activities to keep your family entertained, such as archery, bird watching, fishing, spa treatments, tennis, and water sports. 

Or, in Japanese:

マレーシアでのゴルフ休暇を思いっきり楽しむには、ゴルフビーチリゾートに滞在するのがおすすめ。こうしたリゾートの特色は、豪華な宿泊施設、充実のダイニング、そして景観の素晴らしいゴルフコースなのです。また、一緒に行く家族が待ちくたびれないよう、アーチェリー、バードウォッチング、スパ、テニス、水遊びなどのアクティビティも数多く用意されています。
