The 18-hole Sebana
Golf Course is part of Sebana Golf &
Marina Resort Bhd. It is a full buggy
course. The undulating hills offer
exhilarating views. Whilst hazards in the
forms of bunkers, lakes and streams are
strategically located to challenge all
golfers, from the novice to the
professionals.
Sebana Golf and Marina Resort near
Desaru in Johor presents a layout that is
easy to fall in love with. It is
curvaceous, well shaped, pretty,
seductive and stimulating. It is both
challenging and tempting as it leads you
up blind alleys and hides much of its
trickery, revealing all only when it is
too late.
It is lined by virgin forest that
keeps you in line, thoughtfully taking
care of the stray golfer. Most
importantly though is that it has enough
mystery to draw you back for more.
Sebana also has great views from
elevated tee boxes, offering you
unobstructed vision of its well contoured
layout. Most times though, you are only
presented with half the picture; the
rest, awaiting discovery only as you near
your final destination.
These targets you are trying to hit 18
times in your round are lovely designed
green complexes where, unfortunately,
trouble happens to be equated with such
painstaking, imaginative and careful
construction.
Much thought has been put into the
shaping, curves and contours; offering
mounds, crests, falls and slopes within
their small and exciting confines. Sides
have been pushed up to obstruct views
that surround the green, hiding their
stiff tilts. Smooth surfaces have had
folds pushed in, with dips and ascents
that anchor you down in difficulty.
A natural result is that some of the
par threes are genuinely interesting
designs whose exciting moulds are a
delight to attack.
And yet for all its difficulty and
sparkle, it is probably trying to be a
little generous with just a few fairways
left a little wide. Take them not for
granted though. Their lines are well
defined by mature forest and shaped to
pay handsomely to caution and length. If
you have decided upon your line, provided
it is pointed to the safer areas, stick
doggedly to it and make no mistakes. Your
best chances at progressing through this
course is from the tees.
Any friendliness is gone as you get
closer to each hole's halfway line.
