The Jack Nicklaus Legacy course at Forest City Golf Resort occupies reclaimed land along the Straits of Johor in southern Malaysia, positioned near the causeway connecting to Singapore. Designed by Jack Nicklaus and his son Jack Nicklaus II, the course opened as part of the larger Forest City development, a mixed-use project that transformed coastal waters into buildable land. The layout reflects the Nicklaus design philosophy of strategic bunkering and multiple teeing grounds to accommodate different skill levels, adapted here to flat, manufactured terrain. The course plays across land that offers limited natural elevation change, a characteristic of reclaimed coastal sites. Water features appear throughout the routing, both as hazards and visual elements, while the design incorporates tropical landscaping to frame holes and define playing corridors. The proximity to the strait means prevailing winds often influence club selection and shot strategy, particularly on holes that run parallel to the water. Forest City Golf Resort serves both the residential community within the development and visiting golfers from Singapore and the broader region. The facility includes practice areas and clubhouse amenities typical of resort courses in Southeast Asia. The course represents one of several Nicklaus-affiliated designs in Malaysia, part of the family's extensive portfolio of international work that expanded significantly from the 1990s onward as golf development spread across Asia.
