Tucked into a little corner north east of Johor Bahru is an 18-hole public course that is drawing golfers with varied skills. This par-71 layout is not long albeit presents quite an interesting challenge. The bunkers and water hazards are strategically placed, while the greens are laid with Tifdwarf and fairways turf with Zoysia Marrella.

With space at a premium, golfers may have to be aware of parallel fairways along the course although the mature trees lining the fairways go a long way to stop errant shots. With dogleg sand humps in front that hide the greens on several holes, the course is made to look longer. The greens, fairly large, have only slight undulations.

Two of Daiman's toughest holes ate the 16th, measuring 416 meters, is the longest par-4 on the course. Your drive must be long and accurate to avoid the bunker on the fairway. A slight dogleg right, the green has bunkers protecting it left and right. At 149 meters, the 17th presents an interesting problem. From the tees you have to look for your target as the left side of the green is partially blocked by trees, water is also present in front and to the right.

There are no caddies available and buggies are mandatory at Daiman 18. Despite being a public golf course, Daiman 18 has all the basic and usual facilities and amenities such as F&B and locker rooms all under the new clubhouse overlooking the 18th. Pekin Restaurant serves very good meals at very reasonable prices.
