Saujana Golf & Country Club’s Bunga Raya course is named after the Malay term for ‘hibiscus’, although, like its sister course to the east, it also has a nickname – ‘The Crocodile’.
It was designed by Ron Fream more than 40 years ago and has recently been renovated. Turfed with Bermuda grasses, the 7,034-yard course looks pretty, whereas The Palm looks dramatic. Bunga Raya’s ups and downs are less pronounced and despite being the more compact of the two layouts, it feels more spacious.
Any suspicion that it’s the easier of the two courses, however, should not be over-indulged. Water directly impacts half of the course, nowhere more so than at its climax.
There’s a hint of Sawgrass in the last two holes, with the par-3 17th calling for a 180-yard knee-knocker over water to a promontory green, while another lake flanks almost the full length of the final hole.
And there is no gentle introduction, either. Your round begins with a 523-yard par 5 that requires an approach over water to a shallow green. Between that and the closing holes, you may have a little more latitude off the tee than the Palm gives you but wise bunker placement will put pressure on your approach game throughout.
