The Valley course at the Els Club Desaru Coast opened in 2017 and the Big Easy designed it in collaboration with his friend and fellow Major winner, Vijay Singh.
The 27-hole Ocean course was the first layout to open at the Els Club Desaru Coast complex in November 2016, followed five months later by the 18-hole Valley course, which the Big Easy designed in collaboration with his friend and fellow Major winner, Vijay Singh.
The 45-hole Desaru Coast facility lies to the southeast of peninsular Malaysia, where these two fabulous golf courses have been fashioned within an enormous 4,000-acre Johor property that encompasses an astonishing 17-kilometre sweep of coastline facing onto the South China Sea.
At the moment, access to the Desaru Coast resort from Singapore requires a 2-hour drive by car but there are plans to bring a 30-minute direct ferry service into operation in the near future. The golf complex offers state-of-the-art amenities, including two clubhouses and extensive practice areas.
“Opening the Valley course is a major step forward in realising the vision of Desaru Coast, and to have The Els Club brand as the first in a long-line of major developments at this special destination is a real privilege,” commented Ernie. “Ever since we embarked on this project, we have maintained our focus on the end product; one with excellence and distinction.”
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.
