Wonderful Getaway at Orchard Golf and Country Resort

Orchard Golf and Country Resort (OGCR) has provided a wonderful getaway to my family as we are the members of the resort. A close proximity to the resort is a criteria of choosing the hideaway spot. OGCR is a great alternative especially during boom years of golf resorts in mid 1990's. My friend from Singapore also signed up at this club as it offers a package. The scenic golf resort has 18 holes, par 72. Stretched at Km19, Jalan Kota Tinggi/Kulai, Kulai, Johor, the resort is standing amidst natural surroundings of tropical rainforest, plantation and orchards. It is also sheltered majestically near Gunung Pulai.

The OGCR captures the spirit of peaceful, fresh-air hilly living in a private golf club environment. Besides the resort own elaborate recreational activities, the area abounds with opportunities to enjoy the great outdoors. OGCR has also add the adventure with hiking, backpacking and camping at nearby forested mountain.

In addition to golfing, we enjoy lounging at the restaurant, wadding in the pool, steam up in the spa and sweat out in the gymnasium. I also love to jog in the surrounding area and was once chased by a roundish, black wild boar. That's an unexpected thrill.

Feelings of serenity just by watching the landscape.

True to its name, the landscape is laced with coconut trees and local fruit trees. The undulating rolling terraine, fresh water ponds and sand bunkers are blissful sights. During fruit season, golfers are rewarded with bountiful fruits in season.
