Some 20 golfers from the Golf Section of the Royal Lake Club travelled to Miri in Sarawak for a two day weekend of golf at the two golf courses in Sarawak. The MH morning flight arrived at the new airport of Miri where we were picked up by vans from the Eastwood Valley to be transferred to the golf resort which was a short drive away from the airport. It was quite a surprise to find such a good golf course in this part of the country. The Eastwood Valley Golf Course proudly showed off signboards proclaiming itself as one of the Top 10 Golf Courses in the country.
The resort has 100 or so chalets, a grand clubhouse, a karakoe club and facilities for other sporting activities.
The property was probably originally a low-lying swampy region and the course was designed with many lakes, especially in the Miri 9, which made water hazards constantly come into play. And the green speed was fast, reported to be between 9 and 10 and despite the heavy downpour earlier in the day and half-way through the game, most of us were troubled by the fast green speed.
Playing to a handicap of 24, pakdokter did not even manage to get 30 stableford points!
