The Tropicana Golf & Country
Resort's 27-hole championship golf course is known to be among
the best in the country, with many golf enthusiasts regularly
making this a key stop of their golfing itinerary. |

At the Tropicana Golf & Country Resort, there is a game of
golf to be enjoyed no matter day or night. There are two challenging
dream courses complete with rolling slopes and sweeping valleys,
each designed to the United States Golfers Association specifications,which
offer golfing pleasure to champion and amateur golfers alike.
The nine-hole East Course and the 18-hole West Course feature
strategically located sand and water hazards amidst picturesque
holes on the rolling green. |

The excellent macro and micro drainage
system of the courses ensures that players need not delay
their games after rain. Game can be resumed a mere 15 minutes
even after a heavy, tropical downpour. In addition, the
courses are automatically irrigated by a sophisticated,
computerised system of sprinklers, which control the volume,
spot and duration of water sprayed. As night arrives, there
is also no need for keen golfers to abandon their game as
18 holes (nine holes on each course) are lit up for continued
play by clusters of non-glare floodlights, a high-tech lighting
system is similar to that used in the Barcelona Olympics.

A little history |
|
| |
|
|
| |
Tropicana Golf & Country Resort set
out to build a world-class golf course that will be the enjoyment
of both avid and amateur golfers. The services of Mr Graham
Marsh of the renowned Australian team, Marsh-Watson Pty Ltd,
with a string of five-star rated projects in Australia under
their belt such as The Vines in Perth and Robina Woods on
the Gold Coast, were engaged to design and construct Tropicana’s
golf course. |
|
| |
|
|
| |
Build upon the natural terrain of a former
rubber plantation and at a cost of over RM24 million (or RM1.3
million a hole), the East Course was first opened to great
expectations in 1993. Needless to say, the golf course which
was said to have been “designed to bring out the best
in any player” has met and exceeded these expectations.
Many golf veterans have commented that it is indeed a pleasure
to play at the Tropicana Golf Course and that it has a special
appeal to high handicappers and professionals alike. |
