IMHO, there is no such thing as green for newbie.... once you are ready to hit the green, it doesn't really matter where although  different courses offer different challenges.

However, if you would like to get a feeling of what the real game is all about before playing in real courses, then Guthrie Golf Academy at Bukit Jelutong (a par-3 course) is highly recommended.

Used to cost RM30 for 9-holes or RM40 for 18-holes, but not sure now. There is no buggy available but you can rent a cart for additional RM5.

Just my 2 cents.

Ada!! .. Banyak!! ... Practise jer kat chipping and putting practise greens yg ada kat semua golf courses ... FOC pulak tu!!!  ;D

Ramai org lebih suka gi driving range pastu pukul bola jauh2 dpd practise diaorg nye short game, lebih macho kot!!!  ;) ... So slalu nya tak ramai org kat practise greens ...

Tapi kalau kaki malas cam saya ... belik je putting carpet yg RM80 tu ... practise je putting kat rumah .. anytime bole practise.. seblom tido bole practise, celik je mata bole practise, seblom makan pun bole practise ...  8)

Kalau nak practise chipping pulak, pacak je tiang kayu kat laman rumah, atau letak baldi ... pastu apa lagi, swing je, tapi jgn bola sampai masuk rumah jiran dah!!  :D :D :D

On a more serious note ..

Why don't you try Bkt Jelutong Guthrie's 9-hole Par 4 (On week-ends they convert it into an 18-hole Par 3 course) ...

If you go for the monthly pass, they charge only RM160 (You have to reconfirm this, takut they've changed the rates) er month and you can golf until you drop .... You nak tawaf the course sampai 10 round pun OK, setakat mana hang larat!!!

You can try can contact Idris (PM me if you want his hp no).. He operates the course!!!

Guthrie Golf Academy Pitch & Putt Course ke?..


Yes!!!

ehm...this course very good for new golfer like me...
boleh improve short game (weekend > semua par-3)...
x perlu bawak golf stick banyak2...
bawak 9-iron, PW, SW dengan putter pun dah cukup...
kalau yg pro...tee-off dah boleh on kat green...
senang2 boleh birdie...

but beware...golf ball kena standby banyak...takut2 masuk kolam/OB...
because fairway quite small.... :o ::)

Pros,

I believe Pitch and Putt ni bukan untuk newbie aje, but all levels...having good short game is better than driving >250meters but failed at green...

I have very poor short game...sikalang, bawa wedges aje pi DR...short game ni, nak kena ada feel gak especially bila between clubs...
kalau tak thin shot, cangkul gali cacing....aduhhh....

babi hutan pun happy aje bila kita dok main fat-shot...cacing boleh keluar terus...
***cerita di atas adalah berkisar sendiri punya masalah **** >:D

ehm...btw abg ahman...,
kat guthrie course nie...
in term of fairway & green maintenance diorg x brape baik lah kan...?
green botak, kat bunker penuh rumput...
fairway pun banyak area yg botak2...rumput xnak tumbuh...

bukan ke all the guest bayar green fees RM30 or RM40...?
sepatut diorg boleh guna green fees tu utk improve fairway & green... :( ???

ic...
yelah...nak practice chipping mmg ok...sebab rumput fringe green sume ok...
boleh improve short game nie...kalau selalu pergi main sana... ;)

pricing...still the same > weekend RM30 = 9hole, RM40 = 18hole
still worth it lah kalau nak improve short game... :D

mostly yg main kat sini, junior golfer yg masuk akademi golf...  ;D

yeah...
tau course nie...but never been here...
will try golfing here 1 day soon...

so far been to uniten ILSAS...very good course for beginner like me, walking &
pulling trolley, bring half-set only...
played 18-hole => stop 15 minit after 1st nine, minum then sambung main 2nd nine...
memang tough course nie, naik turun bukit, rase macam 'pancit' jugak exercise...
but very cheap => RM40 weekend :)

I like this one, very  funny.

For me, when i first started I used to patron Kundang Lake (KLGCC la tu).  People there are quite friendly, they welcome new comers.  Even if i did not  have kaki, i just registered myself and join anyone at the the t-box.  Most of the time, nine hole.  Course not too crowded and ask for term membership.

Monterez another well known course for new comers ( no offense, not an easy course but for some reasons, could be the price, it attracts lots for new players).  Most courses are 'friendly' if you play on weekends.  

May be one advice I could give based on my experience.  At the beginning, i always feel inferior to play, thinking other people are better, afraid making fool of myself so on and so forth.  After few rounds i found that, even the so call senior golfers, some of them are just like beginners (like me) and pukul still merata-rata. That make me feel better.

What is MOST important (in my point of view) in golf is etiquette.  You may be a single handicapper but with no etiquette, i dont think you are a golfer.  After all, golf is a gentleman game.  The guy who introduce golf to me once said " Learn the etiquette before you learn to swing".   And I find this is very true.  Zainol can be a good guru is this subject.

Yeah!!! True ... The price is a factor especially if you have a golf card, and playing on a weekday ... but I think also its coz Monterez is a relatively short (though narrow) course, and its a Par 71 course ... so anyone looking for an affordable, quick and challenging round of golf, Monterez is a good choice. Also it has night golfing, so nak tee-off kul 5, lepas keje pun takde hal!!! Of course location is also a factor ... Quite an accessible location ...

Fridays are usually pack, nak2 lepas Jumaat ... Masjid pun dekat .... Kalau sholjum (thats bahasa gaul for sholat Jumaat - Moya yg ajar aku ni  ;)) kat masjid dekat Monterez tu, nampak lah ramai yg gi sholat Jumaat all dressed up in golfing attire ...  ;D

For me ... Monterez is convenient bcoz ... its just next door to where I'm staying ...  ;D
