Frequently Asked Questions

Is Perlis worth visiting for golf, considering it only has one course?

We think so, especially if you're seeking a truly relaxed, off-the-beaten-path golf experience. It's not about quantity here, but rather enjoying a peaceful round surrounded by unique Malaysian landscapes without the usual crowds. You'll find a genuine local vibe that's hard to replicate at busier destinations.

What's the best time of year to play golf in Perlis for ideal conditions?

We always recommend visiting during Malaysia's dry season, typically from December to February, or again from June to August. You'll find the most consistent sunny weather and drier fairways then, making for a much more enjoyable round. Avoid the monsoon season if you can, as heavy rain can definitely impact play.

What can I expect from the golf course in Perlis - is it challenging or more relaxed?

The course in Perlis offers a pleasant, relatively flat layout that's more about enjoyment than extreme challenge. We found it to be quite forgiving, with wide fairways and a relaxed pace of play. You'll enjoy the scenic views of the surrounding hills and local villages as you navigate the course.

Since there's only one golf course, what else should I do or see in Perlis?

Since you're already there, we highly recommend exploring the local natural beauty and culture. Visit Gua Kelam, a fascinating limestone cave, or take a scenic drive through the paddy fields. It's a chance to experience authentic rural Malaysia, enjoy fresh seafood, and truly unwind away from tourist hubs.

How easy is it to get to Perlis, and what are the typical costs for a golf trip there?

Getting to Perlis is straightforward; fly into Alor Setar (AOR) or Hat Yai (HDY) in Thailand, then it's a short drive. Expect green fees to be quite reasonable, often under RM100-150, making it a very budget-friendly golf destination. Accommodation options are plentiful and affordable, ranging from simple guesthouses to comfortable hotels.
