Played on weekend and tee’d off on same 10th hole as you. This is not a hole that gets you thinking it is going to be a fun course. (I think it is only 250 to clear water but you are never going to take that on with 1st swing and would have to be hitting it better than you ever had before to consider it) so a 7 iron it is. This is followed by two identical straight par 4s so after 3 holes you are bored and thinking why didn’t I just play at one of the regular, closer to KL, courses.

The maintenance was actually quite good when there so rough was good and fairways ok (drainage is v.bad though so lots of mud and puddles) but the maintenance crew can only do what they can with the course handed to them.

all in all we wont be heading back there again.

Nilai Springs are having some maintenance done on the green, otherwise, it’s a genial course. Bangi is always friendly to us. If you’re driving, you might check out staffield as well, it’s in pretty good shape.

Hey, this is great stuff! Maybe you can write up on courses that I dont have chance playing and post it up? I can figure out how to set up a guest account or something. For pictures, I direct link it to my photobucket account, it’s quite useful, but i guess it can be flickr or picasa etc. Let me know if you’re interested..readers are currently about averaging 150 per day but steadily dropping due to my notorious disappearances over long periods. But at least still got people reading hehe

Hi,

I played at Nilai Springs on Sunday the 15th of November 2009.

Played on the Pines 9 & Mango 9
I must say i was not disappointed by the Course or the Service.

Service

The service was reasonable although our 08:30 Tee off was during the peak hour.
Our tee off was delayed due to congestion of about 4 flights before us.

Initially they could offer only 2 caddies to our two flights, but then after requesting the Caddie Master, he did find two more for our two flights which made it perfect.

The half way huts were manned as well and the caddies were not the best but not bad either.

Fairways, Greens & Bunkers
When i saw the practice green look like a sandy beach, i remembered the Gila Golfer comments and was regretting the decision to play there, although it was not mine.

But was pleasantly surprised by the quality of the Fairway and the Greens.
It has rained a fair bit over the last week, but must say that the fairways did not show it. The quality was at least the same that we expect to see in a very good club. No uneven or squishy patches.

The grass was in good shape and i didn’t see any signs of Elephant grass as in the picture above.

Some tee boxes looked like the lunar surface though, but over all it was good.

The Greens were playing slow at first and became hard once the sun started peeping through and then it became hard to stop the ball on them with anything less than a perfect shot.
The ball was rolling nicely and no signs of any bumps.

The Bunkers were in fairly good condition as well.

Also didn’t come across any undue OB’s except at the last hole of Mango, where there is no need to have an OB right of the cart path.

Overall it was not a bad experience and wouldn’t mind going back there and playing another round .

Regards
Khawar
