Located just 10 minutes from the North-South motorway you will find the Ayer Keroh Country Club.

Originally opened for play in 1964 the course had just two nines, Tunku´s Nine and Ghaffar´s Nine. Designed by then Chief Minister of Malacca Tun Dr Abdul Ghaffar bin Baba, the course was cut out of the virgin jungle. It was part of the design philosophy to maintain as much of the natural jungle as possible and in doing so the designers have created a golf course with an abundance of natural wildlife.

The final nine-hole loop, The Governor´s Nine was added in the mid 90´s.

Among the array of wildlife, you will share the course with are monkeys, monitor lizards and snakes which call both the native jungle which line the fairways and the golf course home.

The loops that generally make up the tournament course are the Governor´s Nine and Tunku´s Nine.

Although the newer of the loops The Governor´s course is well matured and is worthy of being the partner to Tunku´s Nine.

Throughout the 3 loops gentle undulations and elevation changes create unique holes which test the golfer to the full both with club selection and course management.

Each of the three loops are immaculate with credit going to the green staff for maintaining the course is superb condition year round.

Unusually the three loops of nine limit the use of bunkers, which when present are usually found by the greens. But to be honest if bunkers were to be added the charm of the golf course would be lost.

It is the clever use of other obstacles such as the Ayer Keroh Lake which creates the illusions and difficulty that the course requires to protect itself.

Holes here are well defined, with the native jungle keeping the golfer on their toes throughout the 18 holes, ready to pounce on each and every mishit shot.

The greens are interesting with the contouring creating many a problem for golfers of all levels, slippery and sloping.

Perhaps the most memorable hole is the 18th or the 9th of Tunku´s 9. A monster par five measuring a little of 600 metres and requiring monster blows if you are wanting to finish with a par, the danger here lies the jungle lined fairway and just a couple of bunkers at the green, when you finally reach it!

It is without doubt that you should hire a caddy, not only to give you valuable information about the holes, but also to help keep an eye on your personal belongings, which is important especially with the droves of Macaque monkeys that are ready to swipe anything that is not closely guarded.

Ayer Keroh Country Club

It is an old and matured golf course and we had a good round of golf.

Reviewed by ; on
Golf caddy was good but communication was limited because of language barrier. Staff at check in counter was ok, just doing their job likewise for the restaurant staff. No smile, just business like, does not feel welcoming. Facilities average but functional, no frills. Had a decent round of golf. Monkeys aggressive and stole one of our water bottles and the male money came back again to try to unzip our golf bags. Caddy chased it away with difficulty as it bares it sharp teeth at us. It was a little unsettling seeing the huge male monkey staring us down……seemingly unafraid till caddy threw something at it.

Very average

Reviewed by ; on
The course was in poor condition possibly due to past excessive rain. Also felt we were ripped off with the added cost of caddie payments. Beware as you need to pay admin for a caddie and then double up by paying the caddies personally. Also the hire equipment was very poor.

Course conditions are generally good

Reviewed by ; on
The conditions of the course are generally fine. Governor Nine has a beautiful olive. For the Tunku Nine, the greens are soft, and it would be easier if they could have the same sort of grass on the putting green as Governor Nine.
