Cinta Sayang is a popular 4-star resort in Sungai Petani and their “home grown” 18-hole golf course is routed across a generous 190-acre site. It’s a surprisingly solid layout despite its lack of architectural pedigree.
Situated within a 30-minute drive of Alor Setar, the state capital of Kedah, the 18-hole golf course at Cinta Sayang Golf & Country Resort is laid out within a 190-acre property that lies in the shadow of the Gunung Jerai Mountain.
Cinta Sayang – which in Malay means “Love and Affection” – is an integral part of a popular 4-star resort that offers a wide variety sporting activities, including swimming, tennis, squash and horse riding.
The Sultan of Kedah established the course in 1989 and its generously proportioned fairways are set across a generally flat landscape, where meandering creeks and streams come into play on occasion.
Measuring 6,310 meters from the back tees and playing to a par of 72, the course is surprisingly solid for a “home grown” layout that’s been likened to Impian for looks and Staffield for playability.
The latest ranking of the Top 100 Golf Courses in the World serves as the ultimate global golf bucket list. Most members of our World Top 100 Panel are seasoned golfers, each playing 20-30 of these courses annually while travelling extensively over decades to form their opinions on others. We recognise that opinions vary—even among our panel members. Rankings are subjective, and there are undoubtedly 50 or more courses in the UK and USA alone that could easily fit onto this list.
