Forest City Legacy Golf Course

Frequently Asked Questions

What's the real deal with the Jack Nicklaus design at Forest City Legacy- is it truly challenging or more for show?

You'll find the Nicklaus design here is genuinely strategic, not just a name. Expect wide fairways off the tee, but approach shots demand precision to navigate the large, undulating greens and the ever-present water hazards. It's a course that rewards smart play over brute force, offering a satisfying challenge for all handicaps.

When's the best time of year to play Forest City Legacy without getting drenched or roasted?

We recommend visiting between March and October to avoid the heaviest monsoon rains, though you might still catch a quick afternoon shower. The weather is consistently warm and humid year-round, so always hydrate and consider an early morning tee time for the most comfortable conditions.

Is playing Forest City Legacy worth the green fee, and what should I expect to pay?

Yes, we think it's a solid value for a Nicklaus-designed course in Southeast Asia; you're looking at roughly RM 350-500 (around $75-110 USD) for a weekday round, including buggy and caddy. The course condition is usually excellent, and the service is top-notch, making it a worthwhile splurge.

I've heard Forest City is built on reclaimed land- how does that affect the golf course experience at Legacy?

The reclaimed land gives the course a distinctly flat, open feel, but Nicklaus cleverly used mounding and water features to create definition and strategy. You'll notice the expansive views and a constant breeze, which can be a welcome relief from the heat, but also adds an extra challenge to your ball flight.

How easy is it to get to Forest City Legacy, and what's the best way to travel there from, say, Singapore or Johor Bahru?

Getting there is straightforward; from Singapore, a private car or taxi across the Second Link is your best bet, taking about an hour to 90 minutes depending on customs. If you're coming from Johor Bahru, it's a quick 30-45 minute drive, and ride-sharing apps are readily available.
