Course Overview

The remarkably picturesque and highly decorated Staffield Country Resort stands as a preeminent 27-hole international championship golf development tucked away in the peaceful countryside of Mantin, on the border of Selangor and Negeri Sembilan, Malaysia. Jointly masterminded by the legendary Australian professional golfer Graham Marsh and course architect Ross Watson, this grand parkland property opened in 1994 and has been repeatedly voted among the top golf courses in Malaysia by major golf publications. Spanning over 335 acres of former rubber plantation lands, the facility offers three beautiful nine-hole routings: the balanced Western Nine, the dramatic Southern Nine, and the long, water-fortified Northern Nine. Located about 45 minutes south of downtown Kuala Lumpur, it offers elite international golf travelers a peaceful, scenic, and technically superior destination for a premium Malaysia golf holiday.

Classic English Parkland Charm Matched with Modern Hazards

Maintained to premier resort standards, Staffield Country Resort boasts excellent turfgrass conditions, utilizing lush Bermuda grass on the rolling fairways and ultra-true, smooth greens that provide an authentic test of putting speed. The course is structurally designed in the manner of classic English parkland courses, utilizing the natural terrain of rolling hills, sweeping meadowlands, and tall wild grasses to create a high-definition visual landscape.

However, the serene countryside aesthetic is reinforced by substantial architectural defenses, including 81 strategically deep sand traps and 7 expansive natural lakes that come into play across all loops. The Western Nine offers slightly wide landing zones but introduces severe fairway mounding that challenges a golfer’s stance. The Southern Nine is celebrated for its rolling doglegs and dramatic changes in elevation. The Northern Nine stands as the longest and toughest loop, forcing long carries over water and tight positioning through mature tree-lined corridors, demanding a highly disciplined game plan from players of all skill levels.

Notable and Signature Hole Designs

Staffield Country Resort delivers a highly memorable and strategically diverse playing experience defined by its traditional architecture and signature holes:

• The Scenic Par-3 25th Hole (Northern Nine): Frequently praised as the most picturesque hole on the property, it requires a precision mid-iron shot over a large timber-walled lake that guards the front and entire right side of a beautifully landscaped green.
• The Intimidating Par-4 2nd Hole (Northern Nine): A grueling par-4 that requires an accurate tee shot to avoid rolling mounds, followed by a nerve-wracking approach over open water into a small, well-bunkered putting surface.
• The Strategic Western Finishing Stretch: The 9th hole of the Western loop features a tight fairway pinched by lateral lakes, rewarding bold drivers who can dissect the hazards to secure a birdie opportunity.

Grand Tudor Hospitality & Sports Club Amenities

Staffield Country Resort ensures total relaxation and elite hospitality, deeply keeping its countryside country-club customs alive. Before taking on the fairways, golfers can warm up their long game and short-game tempo at the resort's dedicated outdoor driving range and multi-tiered practice putting greens. The golf experience is beautifully completed by a grand, English Tudor-styled clubhouse that features a panoramic open-air Golfers' Terrace, serving an excellent spread of traditional local Malaysian delicacies and Western favorites. Complete with professional caddie services, a fully stocked pro shop, luxury locker rooms, an Olympic-sized swimming pool, and comprehensive tennis and squash facilities, this property serves as an essential stop for an elite Kuala Lumpur golf tour.
