Despite being having tough hilly terrain, the course is very well managed...

The Shan Shui Golf and Country Club is often describe as The Augusta National of Malaysia...In playing this course, it is not how far you drive or how well you putt, it is about how you manage the course... With the majestic Mt Tinagat as a backdrop and the Membulua River (with its resident crocodile) that meanders thru the course, Shan Shui is certainly a course that is both captivating and challenging... Designed by Nelson & Harworth, Shan Shui has won many awards including Hole #5 as the "Best Par-5 in Asia" and Hole #15 as the "Best Par-4 in Asia"...
The par-72 course plays to 6,324m from the blue tees with the First Nine at 3,185m and the Second Nine at 3,139m... The aptly named “Crocodile River” meanders through the course, home to a former rubber estate, and comes into play on nine holes... The banks of this small river are natural rainforest and contain spectacular flaura, including protected “Honey Bear” trees, which stand more than 200 feet high... The course winds through rubber tree areas, rare “Strangler Fig” trees, and coconut groves... The site’s highest point provides views of the Suluwesi Sea and across Borneo... All holes except Hole #13 play downhill...
