For more than 20 years, Distant Greens has been bringing golfers to Malaysia – our Number 1 destination. During this time we have introduced many teams of golfers not only to the thrill of participating in the WAITGC* (first time in Penang, 1997) but also the enjoyment of holidaying in Malaysia. What’s more, in 2004, we set up Distant Greens Malaysia not just to help us work with maximum efficiency, but also to take full advantage of all that this marvellous country has to offer.
As a result, we have turned WAITGC from a superb golfing event into a unique golfing holiday experience. Our Distant Greens-WAITGC package starts with 2 days in the Malaysian capital, Kuala Lumpur. Here we combine a day on one of the country’s top golf courses with a personal introduction to the beauties of Malaysia – its cultural diversity, its unique combination of traditional & modern architecture and, last but by no means least, Malaysia’s most unusual culinary delights.
