A completely different test · Johor, Malaysia
The Els Club, Desaru Coast – Valley Course
The sibling to the Ocean Course: 7,854 yards of championship golf, designed by Vijay Singh in collaboration with Ernie Els.
Overview
Precision, slopes and vistas
The Valley Course is a completely different test from its sibling, the Ocean Course. Small greens and sharp undulations mean approach play demands real precision.
Huge sweeping slopes run through the layout, giving a perfect mix of testing shots and vistas. Designed by Vijay Singh in collaboration with Ernie Els, it was one of Ernie’s early forays into course design.
