GOLFING

An 18-hole international standard golf course is not something that you would expect to find on a tropical island, but the Berjaya Tioman Resort has made it possible.

With the beach on the one side and the jungle on the other, this par-71 course is filled with challenging hazards such as ponds, bunkers and jungle-rough. On the par-3 7th hole, you will have to cross seawater to reach the green.

Facilities at the golf course include lockers, shower and changing rooms, a pro shop, practice green, gymnasium and sauna rooms. Golf carts, clubs and shoes are available for hire.

The golf course is accessible from the Berjaya Tioman Golf, Beach & Spa Resort. It is advisable to call ahead, but pre-bookings are usually not required.
