Permaipura Golf & Country Club

In the shadow of Gunung Jerai, Permaipura Golf & Country Club at Bedong is an 18-hole, par-72 semi-private course that golf.com.my describes as a peaceful haven in Kedah. It sits in the Kuala Muda district between Sungai Petani and Gurun, and it is sometimes referred to as Genting Permaipura.

The course plays to 6,556 yards from the Black tees, with a course rating of 72.0 and a slope of 130, which says the layout demands more than its length suggests. Blue, White and Red tees provide shorter options. Lakes, sand traps and bunkers are features of the design, the greens are Bermuda Tifdwarf and the fairways are Greenlees Park grass.

Carts and caddies are available and walking is allowed. The club has a driving range, a clubhouse with locker rooms, a restaurant, a swimming pool and billiards. The course is open year-round, which suits golfers from Sungai Petani and the surrounding towns who want a reliable place to play. The four sets of tees mean mixed groups can play together without anyone being overmatched.
