MALAYSIA'S 1ST ANNIKA SORENSTAM DESIGNED GOLF COURSE

Apart from its rich diversity of flora and fauna, the Mines Golf City stands out as Malaysia's largest and only 63-hole golf course.

The first 18 holes will be designed by none other than Annika Sorenstam, one of the world's best women golfers of her generation.

"As I approach a new design I look to capture the natural character of the landscape. I feel that it is very important to preserve the environment, spirit, and traditions of the game. The creation of a variety of tees with generous landing areas gives each individual the opportunity to be challenged based on their skill level, while smaller greens and challenging approaches will make it a true and fair test to remember. My design at the Mines Golf City will feature all of these design elements and I am very proud to be associated with such a world-class development.
