Orchard Golf & Country Resort

Orchard Golf & Country Resort sits at kilometre 19 of the Kota Tinggi-Kulai road, a quiet stretch of countryside in the Kota Tinggi district of Johor. It is an 18-hole, par-72 resort course, and it is one of the longer tests in the region: from the blue tees it measures about 6,988 yards (6,382 metres), with a course rating of 73.0 and a slope of 134.

Those numbers tell you the course asks for solid ball-striking. Fairways are couch grass and the greens are Bermuda Tifdwarf, and bunkers guard the putting surfaces, so accurate approaches matter more than raw length. Blue, white and red tee options let higher handicappers and casual players shorten the course to something more comfortable while still enjoying the same routing.

Visitors can take a golf cart or a pull cart, and walking is permitted. Before the round there is a driving range and a putting green, and afterwards the clubhouse offers a restaurant, sauna and locker rooms. The resort also has swimming, billiards and fitness facilities, making it a reasonable base for a longer golf day out of the city.

Because it sits between Kulai and Kota Tinggi rather than in central Johor Bahru, Orchard tends to feel calmer than the busier city courses, and it is a practical option for golfers living in the northern and eastern parts of the Johor Bahru metro area.

For groups looking for a proper championship-length challenge, it is well worth a visit. With CoGolfers you can organise a four-ball at Orchard Golf & Country Resort, share the tee time with the CoGolfers community and fill empty spots with new golf buddies. Join golf games posted by golfers in Kota Tinggi and Kulai, or build your own golf group and connect with golfers near you.
