I woke up at 6.30 am on day 3, went for my breakfast at 7.15 am and headed to the golf course at 7.50 am where I registered myself for a round of 18 holes golf. The normal charge for hotel guest RM290 but I settled with RM120 as a senior golfer, Wow ! What a deal The check in staffs Ms. Kartini were very friendly who took photo with me.
Nexus Golf Resort is a 18-Holes Championship course with a typical Borneo jungle on one side and South China Sea in the other side. As it was claimed, it is really a class of its own. It is a course player friendly yet challenging. The 18-hole par 72 Ronald Fream designed course provides golfers with options that would suit any level of game they command with the fright among of skill and luck. mi…This is the first golf course I see come with 5 tee box, the red, white, blue, black and gold.
All along the fairways stretch invitingly and quite flat, bunkers are used judiciously along with strategic contours and mounds with greens that are finely manicured. Water hazards and the roughs attract the occasional unsuspecting shot calling for a fine eye t the surroundings.
I played off the blue tee which has a course rating of 66.6 and slope of 118. Most par-4 are less than 300 meter and I thought it is easy to take it for pars. Most of my par-4 tee off left 90 -110 meter to green. It really way out of my regular play which always landed at 160 meters to green. This is not my normal play and I struggle to get it on regulation even though it is a short distance to green. Without surprise, it was a test of my short game. I completed the 18 holes with only 2 pars and a score of 47 for both lines. What a game ! .
