The Els Club Desaru Coast: Golfing for Juniors

The Els Club Malaysia is a world-class golfing facility designed by four-time Major champion Ernie Els, with locations in both Langkawi and Desaru Coast. The Els Club Desaru Coast, which consists of the Valley and Ocean course is a 45-hole golfing paradise with breathtaking backdrops of rolling valleys or the glittering South China Sea.

The Valley Course is the product of two Major Champions and long standing friends - Ernie Els and Vijay Singh. Covering 18-holes in 41 hectares with 187 bunkers, it traverses the valleys and streams of Desaru Coast, following the undulating landscape and providing the most eye-catching vistas.

Meanwhile, The Ocean Course consists of 27-holes and boasts The Three Nines - The Ridge, The Coast, and The Lakes. Suited for all skill levels, the course was designed in accordance with strict environmental practices. Adjoining The Ocean Course is the 45,000-sqft clubhouse offering a state-of-the-art golf shop, two casual dining restaurants, luxury locker room facilities, private function rooms, viewing balconies, and a relaxed terrace where golfers can enjoy the atmosphere and view.

In addition, it is also home to The Els Performance Golf Academy - the first of its kind in the region, a state-of-the-art centre of excellence, giving juniors and adults an opportunity to learn the game the way it should be played.

We had the pleasure of visiting The Ocean Course during our recent trip to Desaru and the kids got a 45 min introductory lesson from the golf pro, David Lamprecht.  The kids learnt some of the basics (holding the golf club correctly, footwork, the swing) using the iron and driver and finished off with a putting contest with their instructor. David was very good with the kids and very encouraging. A fun-filled morning which just flew by and got the kids asking "When can we do this again?".
