Liang Guo Kun Classic Course
Forest City Golf Resort
About this course
The Liang Guo Kun Classic sits within the Forest City Golf Resort development in Gelang Patah, along the southwestern coast of Johor, Malaysia. The course bears the name of its designer, Liang Guokun, a Chinese architect whose work reflects contemporary Asian golf design principles. Forest City itself is a large-scale mixed-use development positioned near the Johor Strait, placing the course in a coastal setting with views toward Singapore across the water. The routing takes advantage of the flat to gently undulating terrain typical of reclaimed or coastal land in this region. Water features prominently in the design, both as strategic hazards and as part of the broader landscape aesthetic common to resort courses in Southeast Asia. The layout incorporates wide fairways and substantial bunkering, with greens that vary in size and contour to test approach play across different wind conditions that come off the strait. Forest City Golf Resort functions primarily as a resort amenity within the larger development, serving both residents and visiting golfers. The facility includes practice areas and clubhouse services oriented toward international guests, reflecting the development's positioning in the regional golf market. The course provides a modern golf experience in a location that benefits from proximity to both Johor Bahru and Singapore, making it accessible to golfers traveling within the southern Malaysian corridor.

Getting there
Most international visitors arrive via Singapore's Changi Airport, just forty kilometers across the causeway, making Forest City Golf Resort one of the most accessible championship layouts in Southeast Asia. The drive north into Malaysia is swift and straightforward, crossing the Johor-Singapore Causeway or the Second Link before turning west toward the coast, where the gleaming towers of Forest City rise dramatically from reclaimed land along the Straits of Johor. What was once open water has been transformed into a master-planned enclave, and the resort emerges as both a bold architectural statement and a self-contained retreat - equal parts futuristic ambition and serene coastal escape.
