Batu Pahat Golf Club

Golf in Batu Pahat has a long history, and Batu Pahat Golf Club is one of the oldest venues in this part of north-western Johor. The club's nine-hole course dates back to 1962 and sits on Jalan Dato' Mohd Shah in the town itself, making it an easy stop for local players and visitors travelling along the west coast of the state.

The layout is a par-36 nine of about 3,149 yards from the back tees, with cow grass fairways that give it a traditional, old-school Malaysian feel. This is a walking course: motorised carts are not used, but pull carts and caddies are available, and club rentals can be arranged for visiting golfers. Metal spikes are not allowed, and normal golfing attire is expected on the course.

Two loops of the nine make a full 18-hole round, and the modest length puts the emphasis on accurate approaches and a sharp short game rather than raw distance. Walking the course also makes it a good option for golfers who like to keep fit while they play. The clubhouse offers a bar, a restaurant, showers and lockers for a relaxed drink or meal after the round.

Batu Pahat Golf Club is a friendly place for social golf and a natural meeting point for the local playing community.
