In 1909, a transformation began. The world’s largest open-cast tin mine, right here at The Mines Resort & Golf Club, started its journey from an industrial heart to a recreational haven. The Mines Resort & Golf Club isn’t just a place for a good game of golf. It’s a testament to human ingenuity and nature’s resilience. The very land we stand on was once scarred by mining. It was considered unusable. Today, it flourishes as a beautiful golf course. Officially opened in 1994, The Mines Resort & Golf Club was designed by Robert Trent Jones Jr. The course stretches 6,191 meters and boasts a par of 72. The course has even earned accolades, ranking as the second-best in Malaysia and among the top ten in Asia. It has hosted prestigious tournaments, including the World Cup of Golf. It’s a regular stop on the Asian Tour. This challenging course offers wide fairways, tempting long hitters to test their skills. The greens demand precision. The front nine, nestled amidst lush jungle terrain, feature strategically placed bunkers. The back nine introduces a formidable water hazard: the lake. This lake, filling the deepest part of the old mine, is a constant reminder of the area’s past. From the 10th hole onwards, golfers navigate alongside this tranquil yet challenging body of water. A plaque on the 17th hole commemorates Tiger Woods’ eagle during the 1999 World Cup. The Mines Resort & Golf Club offers more than just a stunning course. The clubhouse, designed by David Klages, is a masterpiece in itself. There’s also a driving range and the Palong Terrace, offering spaces for relaxation and meetings. The Mines Resort & Golf Club is truly a must-visit for any golf enthusiast visiting Malaysia. From a barren mining landscape to a world-class golf destination, The Mines Resort & Golf Club stands as a symbol of transformation and the enduring power of nature.
