Great experience.
Dec 2022 • Solo
An overall pleasant experience especially with the cool morning start. The course was muddy in parts due to the rainy season, which resulted in several plugged balls. However, the course was scenic and the small greens were in good condition. Worth the 18 hole walk and enjoyed myself.

Very Enjoyable Golf
Aug 2020
Set in a valley in Tanah Ratah - this is a very scenic golf course. A bit short in length but challenging nevertheless.
Lovely and green with the climate in Cameron, and well kept throughout.
There were no caddies available when we got there about 10:00am in the morning but that didn't deter our game or our enjoyment

Challenging course but poor support
Aug 2018 • Friends
My group of 4 (from Kedah) played on 6 August. The course was challenging and exciting with numerous hills and slopes and river/ pond crossings. but for the 2nd 9, half the greens were temporary greens which are extremely small and I wouldn't dare call them a green even though temporary. Its like putting on the fairway. 2 of my group members played more than 2 months ago and it was the same. Read other reviews and others too decry over the same and other issues for a long time! Otherwise the course was well kept and dry despite the altitude and the rains.
On registration we were shocked the rates did not match the website. The counter girls say the Club has recently been taken private from the Majlis (town council) but why hasnt the Club revised or changed the website? we went to play because of senior citizen rate but alas there was none. The Club does not take credit cards - thats a surprise for a business venture.
The Club also does not recognise our insurance cards and made it mandatory for us to buy their insurance plan albeit it was RM3/ pax.
With the state of affairs at the greens on the 2nd 9, I expected a RM10 discount in goodwill by the Club but none. One could play more strokes on the green than on the fairway, so greens are important in golf and surely the new management knows this.
Be aware you may find tourists walking carefree on the course. With the risk of being hit by a mishit shot. This is evident for fairways close to the fence by the road especially holes 13 and 14 but I have seen them wandering all over thinking its a public park.
Go to the toilets and there is no toilet paper, no paper tissues after washing hands. Appalling. This is basic requirement for a developed place in the 21st century. We are not in a rural undeveloped place/ country.
My flight mate had a caddie who after 9 holes refused to continue because he was hungry - more like because we didnt buy him lunch! No other caddie though available was willing to take his place!
I personally expressed our frustrations to the counter girls but all they had was excuses blaming the Majlis/ town council and the change in management. Sad
Overall we enjoyed the game but with the situation as mentioned above, it wont be on our future golf plan. It was our first and probably last unless they reintroduce senior rate, improve the greens and toilet facilities..

Good cooling weather to golf. A lot of up down hill game. 1st tee to 10 tee fairway is green and beautiful, after 10 tee onward fairway very bad maintaining. Overall a playable and cheap golf course.

Revisit after more than 10 years
Oct 2017 • Friends
This is a walking course. After more than 10 years, some of the facilities have been upgraded like providing caddie and also trolley. There is also a restaurant.The club house also have renovated and beautify.
As for the golf course, the scenery along the course is full of greens and beautifully decorated with plants and flowers. The fairway is quite well maintain (cow grass) but not the green (too many dry patches without grass), which makes it difficult to adjust the speed putting.speed.The golf course is of average length. Occasionally you can see some monkeys moving around the greens and nearby tree.
Overall this course is moderate for high handicapper. The weather is fantastic, not hot with cool winds blowing. A very relax and enjoyable golf course.

Slipping badly
Aug 2017 • Solo
My son and I played here last summer and really enjoyed ourselves. Very cheap and the course was in great shape. Stopped by today and noticed a pretty sharp increase in greens fees. I mentioned this to the woman at the counter but she insisted there had been no increase. This actually bothered me more than the new rates, which are sometimes necessary and justified. I mean I know what we paid.

But anyway, the real problem is the course. We took a walk on the road behind the course and were shocked by the condition of many greens. Some were completely lost. Glad I didn't pay the new rates as the overall conditions do not warrant them. Just a warning, and a sad one as I had always loved golfing in CH.

Pros

Cheap
Nice climate for golf

Cons

Back 9 greens not in great condition, holey sandy and dried out

Rough too long, unplayable

Holes badly sign posted

Only accept cash, no card payments

If you don't have cash for a caddy, or simply don't want one, they will glare at you and make you uncomfortable as you play

Staff speak very little English, so difficult to arrange a tee time let alone anything more complicated

Overall if you have limited time there are better things to do in Cameron Highlands, this is not a great golfing experience

Nice weather for golfing and walk. No buggy available.

Highlands golf public course
Caddy hire is highly recommended. Tips range from RM$20pp, the same for half-play also. Course layout has changed since the past. 7+years, as we were told. Grass type as well. Condition for out course (hole-1 to hole-9) is not as good as we remembered. In course appeared to be better.
We enjoyed lunches there before or after our play. Mee mamak (ordered less hot if you cannot take hot taste) is highly recommended.
Ladies changing room has helmets and other cleaning items kept there for some reasons. Bench to sit on is not available for use. Amenity is not available, bring your own. Did not try but will not be surprised if there is no hot water supply.
Only local debit card is accepted. Otherwise all on cash term.
