Perched 5000 - 6000 ft above sea level, the highest golf course in Southeast Asia is located on the foothill of the majestic Mount Kinabalu, in Pinosuk Plateau Ranau District, about 2 hours drive from Kota Kinabalu. Designed by Robert Muir Graves, the famous golf course architect from California, the layout is visually appealing, but can turn into a 'graveyard' for miscued shor.

This 18-hole layout with the powerful presence of the mountain is indeed felt everywhere. It provides a magnificent backdrop to the golf course. The climate is more temperate than tropical, on a clear. day promises the experience of cool highlands golfing.

Playing 6,369 m Par 72 from the back tees, this course must be rated as a course to rest your physical and mental fitness and of course your golfing skills. The challenging fairways are criss-crossed with seemingly harmless cold gurgling streams. Huge bunkers are plentiful here. Accuracy is the key to this highland course. Any careless clubbing can land the golfer into the watery and sandy traps, or into the OBs which are deep ravines, falling as deep as 2000 ft, bordering the fairways.

Indeed, Mount Kinabalu is an ideal glare way for the golfer who fancies golfing in the clouds, literally. Playing a challenging round at this course is a must-visit.
