Owned by Themed Attractions Resorts & Hotels Sdn Bhd (TAR&H), the highly anticipated 27-hole golf course is set to become one of South East Asia's flagship golf and tourism projects.

You have a great location, in close proximity to so many major Asian hubs. You have a corner of coastline that simply takes your breath away and an ownership group dedicated to creating some of the finest tourism attractions in the world.
