Permas Jaya Golf Club — Attraction in Johor

Course is wide and pretty simple as most hole have straight fairway. Pretty well maintained for the price which is considered cheap for us Singaporeans. Toilets were not well maintained compared to other golf clubs and there are no showers. There is a cafe by the practice putting green and price was reasonable. So why 2 stars? The uncle at the registration counter was downright rude.

Here's my story: The course only opens at 7am so we reach the golf club at 745. Approached the counter for registration when there are 2 groups of golfers Infront of us at the first hole. The uncle look at us and ask "Honestly speaking, you all know how to play? Or just here to play play? What's your handicap?". I've played other courses in msia and this is the first time the personnel asked me such question. Mayb we are wearing slippers that lead him to ask that question as we wanted to check if there are slots first bec usually weekends are packed and it's a course for beginners according to my knowledge. (But to my surprise, there are only 2 groups Infront of us at the first hole and no one else behind us.) I said my handicap is around 26 according to my last played course. And my friends are around 30+. Then he say "No. You all cannot play. Later people complain. Alot of people complain before saying the flight Infront of em is too slow." Im thinking like dudeeee there are no one behind us and the golfers Infront of us is like about my level, mayb better by a bit. And his tone was damn rude. But I still tried to nego nicely as I really wanted to play. (No point arguing) I replied: "can la can la uncle. U see ah. We using the buggy and no one is behind us.(the 2 groups Infront are not using buggy). If got people behind us we can let them go first like what we did at other golf course." But he still insist a hard no. Even trying to shut the window on us. Then I say:"can la uncle. We play alot of other course and in Singapore as well." Then he say "then you go back Singapore play la". I replied: "Singapore alot of ppl play tts why come msia play ma". Then he ask us to go range. But the range ain't even open until 9am dudeee. Then I ask if we can practice pitching and putting on the practice green. He said okay then close the window. So we went back to our car and change into our golf shoes. Thereafter, I went back to nego with the uncle again at about 810am as there are still nobody!( He even told me that there are loads of people coming as they alrd book their tee off time. Sure or not?!) After much persistence, he finally allow us to play. He even peeked out his window to see me drive the first hole. LOL. Then there is a single player behind us after we drive out first ball. We let him go first. The best part is we caught up to the group Infront of us at hole 7. So can we complain about them instead? LOL! And we saw kids that just started learning golf...

Played 1Apr 24.

Let's be fair: you cannot expect much from this place. This is a golf course that does what it is to do and serves the people that needs to be served.

Not a course or place for the people who are usually playing in high-end golf courses.

This place is a friendly and easy-going course.

To the person who complained that the so-called uncle was rude, I think the person was just trying to berate this course. The so-called uncle served us very well as well as very politely. In fact he was extremely helpful.

The fairways are not exactly nice but still manageable and if it's to your benefit it is very wide.

The greens are also not extremely kept however this could be labeled as challenging.

Post rain the bunkers will become ponds as well 😅

The water features are where the little bit of smell emits from but still bearable and does not stink to high heaven.

There is changing and shower facility as well as toilets just this place does not have a locker room. So if you want to shower kindly bring your own towels.

The cost of the course is very very pocket friendly and for singaporeans it is almost play at the range.

Located very close to quite a number of food areas outside of the premise also with plenty of petrol kiosks this is a good place to play a quick round or so before heading back home to Singapore.

In conclusion however this premise is actually good and an affordable course for everybody. What irritates me would be that the people who play here are inconsiderate. Some of the players just throw the rubbish on the fairways. Many people are also without proper golf etiquette.

We will definitely come here again as this place is extremely good for bringing up your feel good factor when playing world's most difficult sport...

Once just for the experience and never again. It’s the worst maintained golf course I’ve been. It may look ok on pictures but in reality it is very frustrating to play. The fairway grass is long and uneven such that it’s always hard to find your ball even when you can see where it’s landed. We booked a buggy and the guy gave us one that’s not charged. After playing 3 holes, we had to return it as it was moving slower than walking and often stopped when there was even the most gentle slope. When I told the guy it’s got no power, he immediately denied it as he was playing games on his phone and was upset to be interrupted! I insisted to change it and got one that’s charged and could move more like a normal buggy! There were so many potholes even on the buggy tracks and even more on the fairway and rough. Once my buggy bumped so much that my water bottle flew out, golf bags became loose, tees disappeared! There is a stench in all the water features. The lilies are very pretty. Water extremely dirty and smelly. It’s cheap so that’s what you get for what you pay for. There are two shower rooms but you have to bring your own towel and soaps. No lockers so you have to keep stuff in your car. The best thing about this course is the golf repair shop at the range operated by John and his wife. John is most professional and he goes often to Tanjong Puteri to maintain golf equipment...
