Royal Brunei Golf and
Country Club

|
The Royal Brunei Golf and Country
Club is considered amongst the
top courses in Asia, and
possibly the most unique golfing venue in the world. It was created for The
Sultan of Brunei and his international guest.
The course has
been constructed to the most exacting standards; playing here is to partake in an unforgettable golf experience. It
is definitely the most challenging golf experience in Brunei and with it's
reputation as the "Augusta of Asia", possibly the region.
Overseas golfers can now
enjoy this course like the list of World Class players -
Greg Norman, Colin Montgomerie, Bernard Gallacher, Tony Jacklin, Nick Price
and Nick Faldo - who's signatures have been left on the locker room
doors.
|
 |
The course was designed
by world renowned American landscape architect, Ronald Fream. |
|
RBGCC is certainly the most dramatic and
demanding course in Brunei. It is consistently maintained to the high standards demanded
by the USA PGA, and His Majesty. The specially designed drainage system
guarantees year round play, and the greens are fast.
Two luxuriously appointed air-conditioned
half-way houses on the course provide a welcome venue for refreshments and relaxation
with friends or business partners. They can be rented for private functions
and corporate events. Catering is available. |
 |
9 holes are available for night play under
floodlights. |
|
Playing at RBGCC
is more than a game of golf. The surroundings create a unique experience with cool sea breezes, magnificent
changes of light as the day evolves, and an abundance of wildlife.
It's common to spot a troupe of monkeys taking a leisurely sojourn across
the fairway, or to see a majestic Brahminy kite soar searching for prey, or
to hear the distinct call of Borneo's Hornbill. You may also hear the roar of
a tiger or the call of an
elephant from the nearby private zoo. |
 |
The club prides itself on being sensitive
to the local environment and actively encourages
conservation, providing a sanctuary for native flora and
fauna in the rainforest jungle that surrounds the
fairways. |
|
The clubhouse overlooks a magnificent vista of rolling
greens. Dense lush jungle in the background, fairways and greens, with pink and
white manicured gardens of bougainvilleas in the foreground.
The visual focal
point is the fountain cradling the club's logo and burnished gold initials, from
which sparkling water cascades into a lake which shimmers at dusk. As night falls
backlights create a magical atmosphere. |
 |
This scene can be admired from the
club's open
terrace, or in air-conditioned comfort from the restaurant and lavish
upstairs lounge. The luxurious Royal viewing area is part of the
clubhouse. |
|
The Presidents Cup (the club cup) takes pride of place amongst a
collection of trophies and The Sultan's personal golfing memorabilia,
including a collection of antique clubs.
The luxury locker room located on the lower
level features lockers personally autographed by famous players,
including Greg Norman
and Nick Faldo. |
 |
RBGCC is an exclusive members
club. Access has recently been extended to
experienced overseas golfers through advanced bookings. Intrepid
Tours provides bookings, and multi-day golf packages in Brunei. |
RBGCC is Brunei's top golf
experience. Together with the adjacent Polo Club, polo field Grandstands,
private beach, Equestrian Centre and golf course half-way houses, it is also
an unrepeatable venue for corporate and private
functions.
