The Els Club Desaru Coast Ocean Course

At the heart of this planned expansion of the Johor region of Malaysia is an example of the Malaysian effort to become one of the major players in the global golf tourism market.

The Els Club features the 27-hole Ocean Course, which sits on the coastline and provides golfers with a golfing paradise.

Els has further enhanced his reputation as a world class golf course designer with the stunning display of engineering and design to create the three distinctive loops of 9 at the Ocean Club.

Each course provides a stern test of golf, with a number of tee options to ensure that any level of golfer can enjoy the spectacular design.

The Coast Course sits adjacent to the Ocean, making club selection tricky depending on the sea breezes and pin placements on the superb quality greens.

Aptly named the Lakes Course, with a par of 36 is a water haters nightmare. Water comes into play on almost every shot and you will require both accuracy and steel to avoid losing a few balls.

Finally, we have the Ridge Course, which with a par of 37 offers good opportunities for birdies.

A real feature of all three loops is the detail to bunkering, which creates a visual impact and wonderful contrast to the blue of the sea and the green of the grass, coupled with interesting and complex green contouring to really test the short game and imagination of the golfer.

The introduction of The Els Performance Academy means that The Els Club Desaru Coast is as high class as it gets and offers the opportunity to experience some of the best coaching and facilities in the world.

If you are after an unforgettable experience then you must visit The Ocean Course at The Els Club.
