Designer
: RONALD FREAM World renowned golf course architect Ronald
Fream designed the two 18-hole courses in Saujana. They are
the 6,548 yards Palm or 'Cobra' Course and the 6,369 yards Bunga
Raya or 'Crocodile' course. He had created two equally excellent
but vastly contrasting challenges for golfers. Fream's designs
for both courses flow with the contours of the hilly terrain,
much of which was a palm oil estate before the golf course took
shape in the mid-eighties. Where possible, the original vegetation
had been left untouched thus furnishing a classic example of
how man and nature can collaborate to create |
something
out of the ordinary. As for the Bunga Raya, he designed the
fairways wider and the green less tricky but the terrain is
just as spectacular in every way. It flows along a gently contoured
open terrain and offers scenic views, with series of lakes and
streams that pose a unique set of challenges. Fream's brilliant
design has earned Saujana top accolades from the golfing fraternity.
Amongst which is the No. 1 Golf Course in Malaysia by Golf Malaysia
Magazine from 1991 to 1998 and Golf Digest (USA) in June 1999.
