Golf Courses in Brunei

There are five golf courses in Brunei, four in Brunei Muara district and one in Belait.



The Empire Country Club.
Those looking to unwind on the greens will find this course to be one of Brunei’s true unexpected treasures. Designed by Jack Nicklaus, this majestic 18-hole championship golf course has been called one of Asia’s best and even offers night golf as a way to beat the tropical heat in style.

Royal Brunei Golf & Country Club
Near Jerudong Park, this club caters to the most exclusive of golf aficionados — advanced bookings are required. The course has been described by its designer, Ronald Fream, as the "Augusta National of Asia". It is considered one of the best courses in Asia, and is among the most exclusive in the world.

Mentiri Golf Club
Located in the Brunei Muara district, this is an international standard 18-hole, par 72 course cradled in lush, landscaped grounds. Greens fees are B$60 on weekdays and B$120 on weekends.

Royal Brunei Airline Golf Club
Probably the first course you’ll see in Brunei, this 18-hole public course designed by Max Wexler lies just five minutes from the Brunei International Airport and twenty minutes drive from the heart of Bandar Seri Begawan. It is characterised by a generally flat layout with manmade lakes spread out over the course, adding to its beauty.

Panaga Golf Club
Located in Seria district, this is another of Brunei’s well-equipped and lushly-maintained public courses available for visitors and popular with locals.

Golf

Initially I thought golf was a boring sport until my friends asked me to have a go. From then I finally realised how difficult golf is. It is a frustrating sport but fun at the same time when you get good results and progress (that is how I feel about golf).

In Brunei, there are not many golf coarses and driving ranges. It is an expensive sport because the equipment it self cost a lot. But hei, just buy a cheap used one if you want to save some money or share with your friends. It is more fun playing with your friends than by yourself (obviously haha unless you don't like your frieds). I don't really have my golf set yet but a good friend of mine lend me his old golf set (he has a better, thats why). Anyways, I heard if you want to start practicing your swing, it is good to start with 7 iron (I am still using 7 iron...and getting sick of it, haha).

I found a video from video jug. The best clips so far on "HOW TO PERFORM THE PERFECT SWING". Check this out
