Located in the heart of the Horizon Hills township in Nusajaya Johor, the Horizon Hills Golf and Country Club (HHGCC) is no doubt the centre of attraction for golf lovers. It has been awarded the CNBC Asia Pacific Property Award for The Best Golf Development in Asia Pacific and Malaysia and Most Memorable Golf Course in Malaysia by The Star Newspaper. The magnificent 18-hole international championship golf course, designed by Ross Watson, has hosted one of Malaysia’s top professional championships, the Iskandar Johor Open for the past three years. Horizon Hills is a risk and reward affair, where numerous shimmering, glistening clear lakes and streams dot the valley, daring the braves to attempt heroics with premium rewards. Many of the holes feature dramatic changes in elevation from tee to green and this natural landscape is enhanced with preservation of the natural terrain plus a network of waterways. Lavish praise is in place for the seashore Paspalum fairways and Tifeagle greens. The superbly manicured fairways are a joy to hit from while the greens, slick and tricky, can be quite a challenge especially with speeds of 11 to 12 on the stimpmeter.
