About Damai Golf & Country Club

Published course information gives the overall length as 6,318 metres. The club's current official website provides individual hole information with par, stroke index and distances from blue, white and red tees.

Origins

Damai Golf & Country Club was established in 1996 on the Santubong peninsula north of Kuching. The project brought an Arnold Palmer design to Sarawak and is identified by both the club and Malaysian tourism material as Palmer's first golf course design in Malaysia. The site allowed the routing to use two markedly different landscapes: the foothills of Mount Santubong and the coastal edge of the South China Sea.

Did You Know?
The course is divided into a Mountain Nine and an Ocean Nine, giving the two halves distinctly different settings.

Design Philosophy

The routing is organised as two contrasting nine-hole loops. The Mountain Nine follows naturally rising, forested ground near Mount Santubong, while the Ocean Nine moves into the coastal environment beside beaches, rocky outcrops and mangrove areas. This contrast between inland foothill golf and seaside holes is the central architectural characteristic of Damai.

Today

Damai remains an 18-hole, par-72 course and the club now publishes detailed hole guides on its official website. Its golf facilities include practice areas, a driving range, pro shop and locker facilities.
