The Kuala Lumpur Traveler

Two weeks ago, me and my daughter (yes… I play golf with my daughters more than I do with friends… at least that is the trend for the time being) played at Danau Golf Club for the very first time despite the fact that this golf course is only 30 minutes away from my residence.

Danau Golf Club is owned by University Kebangsaan Malaysia (UKM) and is located. of course, in Bangi. I find this course very interesting. The fairways are wider compared to some of the golf courses I have played but the disadvantage of this is that the buggy-on-track policy could make you walk miles more especially if you have tendency to hit the balls to the right.

The most challenging hole I think is the Par 4 248m hole number two. To get the ball to the elevated green, you will have to manouver your way along the bank of the hill which is very uphill to start with in the first place. To make it worse, there is a deep valley waiting on your right. Once you are on the green, it is not over just yet as the green is treacherously fast with steep slopes ready to let your ball roll back into the valley.

If you are playing 18 holes and pulling your cart instead of using the buggy, you should be very fit and start with the first 9 holes first so that you will finish the mostly hilly part of the course first. But seriously, I would not do it without the buggy.
