If you happen to pass by or stay in Muar, Johore, like I did last week on 29 February 2012, there is a 9 hole walking course located at Tanjung Emas, about 2 km from Muar Traders hotel. This course is managed by the local town council and imposed just a nominal green fee. Me and my colleague Mokhtar paid RM58.20 for the 2 of us inclusive of trolley rental. That's about RM29 to play 9 hole!
The course is flat, 4 holes near the clubhouse and 5 holes near the sea....yes, the Straits of Malaca and in between is the public road and joggers lane...be careful then because there is no fence!
Hole 1 Par 3 159 meter with pond in between tee box and green, hit a 7 wood and made Par
Hole 2 Par 4 302 meter with pond on right side and another pond to carry on 2nd shot, made Bogey
Hole 3 Par 4 334 meter sea on the right side, Made Bogey
Hole 4 Par 4 352 meter straight forward no hazards but 3 putted made Double Bogey
Hole 5 Par 3 120 meter with pond and large bunker in between, my 9 iron did not carry the bunker, Bogey
Hole 6 Par 4 350 meter with public road on the left, prone to OB but second shot apron, made Par
Hole 7 Par 5 470 meter, did not finish already dark and skipped to Hole 9
Hole 8 Par 4 275 meter, did not play
Hole 9 Par 4 356 meter, 3rd shot from 60 meters dropped 5 feet from pin, made Par
Met some friendly people at the club and talked for about 10 minutes..they noticed that I am not regular there.
That night we had dinner at the river front, the usual Muar must have..Mee Rebus, Mertabak and Otak-otak!
Tomorrow..plan for Bukit Banang, Batu Pahat !
