Tanjong Puteri Golf Resort

Bored of crowded chalets from Costa Sands, Downtown East and UDMC? Organising a group outing on a shoestring budget?

If you are intending to have a weekend getaway with your group of fun loving friends, Tanjong Puteri Golf Resort (Johor Bahru) might be an option to consider. A 40 minutes drive away from the Johor Bahru CIQ, Tanjong Puteri Golf Resort (TPGR) offers 20 Guestrooms, 34 Double Storey Villas, Meeting and Banquet Rooms and not to mention three 18-hole golf courses.

The Double Storey Villas are Hugh with 4 bedrooms, good enough to accommodate 12 people (or 4 families). There is a large living space that allows you to have people playing mahjong, XBOX/Wii/PS2, card games all at the same time. Outside the villa, it is possible to have an evening BBQ due to the large outdoor space and even a game of football.

Johor Bahru (Johor Baru, Johore Bahru, Johor Baharu), some 20km from Singapore’s bustling Orchard Road offers a range of hotels that goes for RM$150-RM$250 (1 SGD = 2.36RM). Some good hotels to consider:
