ROYAL SUMATRA GOLF AND COUNTRY CLUB, MEDAN, INDONESIA

MEDAN is not in my golf radar for a long, long time because I prefer Surabaya, Jakarta, Bogor and Bandung for golfing. Nevertheless visiting Medan for golf this year brought new discoveries and now I found Medan to be a good golf destination for Malaysian golfers. Firstly the fare by Malaysian Airlines to Kuala Namu Airport averaged RM 300 if booked early and by Firefly it would be a little less but have to bear the sports equipment cost.

We took the MH 860 flight from KLIA at 0825hrs and reached Kuala Namu brand new airport at 0825hrs local time. We rented a Toyota Alphard for RM560 per 12 hours and stayed at the Club Floor at JW Marriot, Medan. From the airport which is about 32 km from Medan city centre it was another 45 minutes to Royal Sumatra golf course.

Our tour agent Pak Salem took care of everything, we just register and play..along with 4 cute caddies!
