Forest City Golf Resort, Legacy Course opening in 2018 located 25 minutes from the Johor city center. The course is also reachable in less than 1 hour from Singapore and set among a large complex of four reclaimed islands in the straits between Singapore and Malaysia. The first of three golf courses at Forest City, the Legacy Course, is a Nicklaus design which makes use of Paspalum Platinum through fairways and greens and ensures excellent year-round playing conditions.
The golf course is fully human-made as there was nothing there before. The course has a desert style concept surrounded by mangroves and natural water features. There are many signature waste areas around the 18 hole course, so even offline drives can be played without worrying about out-of-bounds.
The 9th and 18th greens play around a shared hill, and the golf course has beautiful river views from most holes. From a player standpoint, the golf course is unique. Although the terrains are challenging, the golf course always keeps the amateur golfer in mind, as well as low handicappers and professional golfers.
Golf carts are allowed on fairways to help disabled golfers, speed up play and enhance the course playability. Female caddies are standard, which is a big plus in Malaysia.
The massive 5-star Forest City Golf Hotel located in the middle of the property serves as the clubhouse. A grass turf driving range is available to golfers before and after their rounds. Facilities and service match the 5-star standard.
