I found this DOME Restaurant, Meru Valley Resort in Facebook Page. I text on it, responded with-in 2hours (i think that this mu s be good). We are looking for western food for our IFTAR Break-fasting, surprisingly that i didn't know that this Gold Club can except non member dine in.
My Thank You goes to Ms. Malar, I assume that she is either the F&B supervisor / outlet asst. manager (but i saw her doing other service as well - preparing next room function). I was prompted by her via WA (Whatapp Phone) on Saturday morning.
The best part that amaze with her capability to arrange accordingly as per my special request as well. All food was pre-order in the afternoon, which i made it clearly and specifically to be deliver to our table at 7.25pm as what requested earlier.
My food order - Waghyu Oxtail Stew, Fish & Chip, Chicken Chop, Caesar Salad, Mushroom Soup, Sup Kambing Berempah, Yong Chow Fried Rice, 1 x Jug Watermelon Juice + 2 x Glass of OldTown White Coffee. All perfectly prepared but some comments as per photos attached.
Value for money and worth dine-in there with the scenery of sunset and i have couple of minute to bring my youngest son to play at the children playground.
My comment, all were up to our expectation and the dinner run smoothly. We leave the place at around 8pm+
my special thank to Ms. Malar!

It is very common nowadays for tennis players all over the world - from beginner to professional - to play and train with a few dozen tennis balls, picked from a basket. For many, this helps to create a high-tempo tennis experience that is both challenging and rewarding. No need to stop every two minutes to pick up balls.
However, for players at Meru Valley Resort the tennis experience is blighted by a unique and bizarre rule – players are not allowed to use more than six balls on the court in each session. This rule is enforced by the staff on duty during the court operating hours. Players can enjoy the many benefits of using a basket of balls, only if they shell out nearly one hundred ringgit per hour (extra) to engage the services of the club coach, and play at his convenience.
It seems the management have worked hard to ensure the tennis experience is as limited and restrictive as possible for those who are not prepared to fork out the extra cash. Shameful nonsense!
Another bizarre rule states that no more than four people are allowed in each court at one time. As many social tennis groups regularly have up to five or six members, this is very perplexing.
This is a great shame because the setting for the courts is attractive, and the facilities (two hard surface courts) are reasonably good.
I will not be wasting good money to play tennis here in the future.

Dear johnbO7817HJ
Thank you for your review for the Meru Valley Resort and highlighting your constructive comments. Please trust that the Management is taking measures in order to improve in where needed.
In relation to your other comments, may we kindly inform you that using of maximum of six balls in the court is the club rules and hope you understand.
As for the rules that no more than four person are allowed in each court at the same time was the temporary S.O.P. enforced during EMCO (Enhanced Movement Control Order) following advised by the authorities. This has been lifted since 01 June 2020 where double match are allowed.
If you would like to discuss this matter further, please contact our help line at 605 525 1582 and ask for Sunny.
We look forward to hearing from you and have a nice day.

This used to be exceptional natural site but with extensive construction it is way less. Furthermore since the death of the latest Gm, 5 years ago, the “management has demonstrated incompetence, arrogance and contempt especially for the residents and paying members (rm 182 for use of h to et facilities) . Since the beginning of mco, 15 months ago, most facilities have been shut down but monthly fees were never even reduced. We can t even stop our membership has it is linked to the house we are renting. Our only option is to leave the valley. We actually can t wait to do so but the full lockdown of the country prevents it unfortunately . I would not recommend anyone to move in Meru

The ‘lake’ concept for this driving range is very clever. Golfers can hit special ‘floating’ balls into a small scenic lake, and every so often one of the staff ventures out onto the lake in a little rowing boat to collect them. Golfers can choose to drive balls into the lake from upper or lower platforms, or from a little grassy area. The lake is small but beautiful. There is a path around the lake for walking and jogging, a small putting green and a small gym.
Regular golfers can bring along their own equipment, but the driving range is let down by a lack of decent golf equipment for the use of casual visitors. There are a few pitchers and putters available, but don’t bother to ask for drivers, or left-handed clubs, or children’s clubs, or for a range of clubs to suit different sized customers.
Even tees are not available, and this can make hitting the ball very challenging for beginners. Many people wishing to take up the sport will be put off by this experience.
Some of the gym equipment is worn out and broken.

27 hole course located at meru valley. It's a championship course and challenging also. It is well maintain course. I played here with my dad. The buggies at this club are in excellent condition. Nice club house with pool. Food is good. Caddy service available if needed. It's the only golf course that is nearest to the highway jelapang. The draw back is that the walk in price is expensive. If you don't mind paying recommend to play there no regret.
