Kinabalu Golf Club
Tucked into a nook near Tanjong Aru at a long, ivory – coloured beach is the Kinabalu Golf Course.
Built in 1952, the nine-hole golf course extends over 40 acres of pleasantly flowered bushland with plenty of traps and challenges for golfers.
An interesting aspect of the par-35 course is the wind that occasionally blows across the course from the South China Sea. Golfers will have to gauge the wind constantly to determine whether they will be playing with a tailwind, crosswind or headwind, in order to pick the correct clubs.
The most popular hole here is the short, 80 meter par-3, 14th. There is a strategically placed bulls-eye at the hole on which locals usually bet.
Play along with the minds and your game should be fine. Members of affiliated clubs in Malaysia can use the Kinabalu Golf Club facilities four times a year. It offers a practice green, swimming pool, two tennis courts, a billiard room, a sauna, a restaurant and a pro-shop.
