Berjaya Hills Golf & Country Club is wonderfully located in the hills north east of KL offering scenic views and cool weather. It can be a real pleasure to play up here …. but not today. The course has been sadly neglected and with almost a total lack of maintenance the course is a total disgrace. Tees are shoddy, uneven and dug up in places, the fairways are untidy with many dug up areas due to wild boar activity, bunkers are very messy and in need of repair and re-sanding and the greens are potholed and patchy making putting a random lottery. The 17th green was totally sanded with large piles of sand at the edges of the green making it very difficult to make your approach and to putt. The hole itself was totally misshapen and ragged as shown below:
All in all very shoddy so I do not think we will be returning to this course for a long time unless the management get their act together to fix all the problems.
We had 5 flights today and we managed to tee off on separate holes to try and speed up play. Most players got round in a reasonable time and after the game we drove back down the hill to Kampong Tinggi to our old favourite 126 Restaurant.

We had 3 full flights today at Amverton Cove for an earlier teeoff at 7:30am. The course was in good condition and very quiet so we got off and around the course rather easily, finishing at about 12:00 noon., apart from our 3rd flight who were somewhat later.
