Rainforest Course
Nestled within a million-year-old rainforest and framed by the majestic Mat Chinchang Mountains and the turquoise waters of the Andaman Sea, The Els Club Teluk Datai is set within one of Southeast Asia’s most remarkable natural landscapes. Recognised among the Top 100 Golf Courses in Asia by Golf Travel Magazine Korea and China, the club continues to gain recognition as a distinguished golf destination in the region.
Designed by four-time Major Champion Ernie Els, the 18-hole, par-72 championship course is a considered expression of strategic design, natural terrain, and the beauty of its surroundings. Carefully routed through pristine rainforest and along Langkawi’s dramatic coastline, the course features gently undulating fairways, strategically positioned hazards, and natural features that encourage thoughtful play throughout the round.
Five signature holes follow the water’s edge, revealing expansive views across the Andaman Sea, neighbouring islands, and Langkawi’s white sandy beaches. Further inland, the rainforest, mature tree lines, natural water features, and surrounding mountains shape the character of the course, creating a playing experience where every hole is closely connected to its environment.
More than a championship golf course, The Els Club Teluk Datai is a refined sporting and lifestyle destination where world-class golf meets understated elegance. Its tranquil setting and exceptional facilities provide an ideal venue for corporate golf retreats, international tournaments, private events, and weddings, complemented by a commitment to personalised service and attention to detail.
Surrounded by nature yet delivered to global standards, The Els Club Teluk Datai offers an experience defined by the harmony of championship golf, exceptional facilities, and the raw beauty of Langkawi’s rainforest and coastline. Here, the game unfolds between ancient rainforest, mountain landscapes, and the open sea — creating a golf experience that is distinctive to Teluk Datai.
