Golfing at Guthrie Golf Academy in Bukit Jelutong

by CJCM on May 21st, 2008

I finally set my foot on a real golf course at Guthrie Golf Academy located in Bukit Jelutong on Monday this week, which was a public holiday. Although Guthrie Golf Academy is just an 18-holes par 3 golf course, which is specifically designed for training and practising, it is really good experience for first timer like me.

I have been going to driving range for a couple of months now and I was itchy to try my game on a real golf course. Also known as Pitch and Putt Golf Course, Guthrie Golf Academy made me feel the real experience playing on a real golf course.

My first ever real golf game was of course not so good hehehe. I was hitting like mad golfers but still managed to get a par in one of the 18-holes. I lost 4 balls in the lake, one ball in the tall grass and another one totally outside the golf course LOL. I am planning to go there again this weekend.

Oh by the way, you pay only RM30 (approximately USD10) for 9-holes or RM40 (approximately USD13) for 18-holes. There is no buggy available but you can rent a trolley for additional RM5 (approximately USD2).

One thing I like about this golf academy is that it also has a family golfing facility where there is a 3-holes par 3 golf course for you to have fun with the entire family at RM20 per hour (approximately USD7). I will definitely bring my family members there when two of my daughters and my son come back from their hostels during the coming school and university holiday.
