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

Kelab Golf Angkatan Tentera (KGAT) DR kat belakang airport TUDM Sg Besi ada areas untuk practice driving, long game as well as short game, bunker, chipping and putting. Have a very nice green also. Tak ramai orang. Bola 100 for RM7

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
