Carey Island Sports Club - Malaysia

Carey Island Sports Club is surely Malaysia's most quirky golf course. The original nine holes were built in the late 1920’s for the local band of Europeans living on Carey Island - about 1-hour drive from the hustle and bustle of Kuala Lumpur. The nine-hole golf course officially only opened in July 1930 with a further nine holes added the past few years. Thankfully the original nine remain untouched and make for a real adventure. Imagination and creativity are required to plot your way around the property all the time making sure to appreciate the numerous golf features like impressive trees, vegetation, fences, ditches, roads and homesteads.
