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.

Sifus,

any suggestion?.. serendah?.., bukit beruntung?...


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

Sifus,

any suggestion?.. serendah?.., bukit beruntung?...


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!!!

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 ::)
"tee-off bola golf sampai luar pagar..."
"ambik iron stick tolong jolokkan..."
"saya budak sedang belajar..."
"nanti dah pandai same2 lah kita main golf..."

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...
