Taiping Golf Resort

Taiping Golf Resort, previously known as Bukit Jana Golf & Country Club, is an 18-hole, par-72 resort course in Kamunting on the edge of Taiping. It sits in the foothills that surround the town, giving the course a green, hilly backdrop typical of this corner of northern Perak.

The layout is a serious test from the back. The blue tees stretch to about 7,028 yards (6,428 metres), with a course rating of 72.6 and a slope of 133, so long hitters get the length they want while forward tees keep it playable for everyone else. The foothill setting means you will face changes in elevation and a variety of stances through the round.

Practice and instruction are a strength here. There is a driving range, a golf school with teaching professionals and a putting green, plus rental carts and clubs. The resort facilities include a restaurant, clubhouse, conference and banquet space, locker rooms, swimming pools, a fitness centre, tennis courts and billiards, which makes Taiping Golf Resort a good choice for golf days and corporate events as well as casual rounds.

Taiping is a well-known heritage town, and the resort is an easy stop for golfers travelling on the North-South route.
