Awana Genting Highlands Golf & Country Resort

Overview: Resorts World Awana offers an 18-hole mountain golf experience at about 3,100 feet above sea level in Genting Highlands, Pahang. The current operator describes a newly reimagined course shaped by forest contours, rolling fairways, strategic bunkering and greens designed for all levels. Zoysia matrella turf and upgraded drainage are part of the current presentation. Because the current course has been rebuilt while older scorecards describe the former routing, the present par, yardage and exact reopening date are left blank until a current official scorecard is available.

History: Awana's golf course was established in 1986 as part of the Awana Genting Highlands Resorts development and was originally designed by Ronald Fream. In 2026 the operator describes a completely new 18-hole course after forty years, with Parslow & Winter Golf Design responsible for the current reimagining. This profile separates the original course history from the present layout rather than carrying old par and yardage figures into a routing that has materially changed.

Did You Know? Awana's altitude is central to its identity. Resorts World places the course at roughly 3,100 feet, where the operator gives an average temperature of 16 to 24 degrees Celsius. That cooler air is paired with a well-preserved forest setting and the wider resort's nature trails, so a round here is defined as much by highland climate and vegetation as by the individual bunkers and greens. The course is within reach of Kuala Lumpur while feeling substantially removed from the lowlands.
