Miri Golf Club is only a 25 minutes drive from Miri Airport and 15 minutes away from Miri city centre.
The 18-hole golf course measuring 6,963 yards from the men's tees, faces sandy beach at its doors. Built on flat land, the course revels in the beauty of the Miri River and the South China Sea. Within the vicinity, there is also a scattering of traditional Malay village houses, giving a local aura to the golf course. Instead of the usual western elements, this layout offers a fine portrayal of local culture.
Among the numerous attention grabbing holes, the par 4 Hole 5 will remain in the mind for long. The hole is heavily guarded by water hazards. Upon reaching the fairways, one must cross a thin stream before taking on four bunkers to reach a small putting green. The greens themselves can be fast; so accurate reading is a must.
