Introduction

Club Facilities & Service
I’m bit shock of the simple clubhouse. The reception and starter is combined in a small area. A comparitive big proshop on the left side. Take a short walk to the basic changing room(1, 2) which is attached to the open air restaurant. I saw some private rooms upstair which is locked. Probably serving the Royal family and VIPs
Fairway & Green maintenance
Good shape for the Tees and fairways. Credit to the fast and smooth greens.
Course Design
Unlike the clubhouse, the course is impressive and interesting to play. It is built inside a jungle and with tight undulating fairways in general. . No excessive of water but always come into play when appears. Greens are consider to be small, so short game is crucial to save pars. There isn’t caddie to give advice here, but adequate distance markers for you to make the call.

007’s Rating
A bit disappointed with the club facilties at the first impression. But soon get excited by this interesting golf course. You get everything here – doglegs, island green, short & long holes, change of elevation. Buggy are also allow on the fairways which is a bonus during the hot weather. The most memorable holes are #15 the island fairway, the #9 and the #18. Blue tee measures over 6800 yards which is a tough test for general golfers. I dropped to the white which is much more enjoyable.
Excellent course but unfortunately, points taken away from the poor facilities. Anyway, definitely worth playing,

I stayed two nights in this great new five stars Rizqun Hotel(1, 2, 3), spacious and deluxe decorated, located at the heart of the city and attached with the biggest mall(1, 2, 3) in Brunei. Food, shops and even cinema is just within sheltered area.
Mac Donalds, Kentucky, Jolibee, Pizza(1, 2, 3) hut surrounded the hotel too.
If you have time, take a visit to various Muslim Temple(1, 2, 3), or take a boat ride to the water village(1, 2, 3, 4) to check out the special culture.
Remember to stock up upon arrival in the duty free if you are a drinker. Selling alcoholic drinks is banned in this country.
