Ayer Keroh Country Club

The golf course carved out of virgin jungle and ready for play in 1964 was designed by a team led by Tun Dr. Abdul Ghaffar bin Baba, the then Chief Minister of Malacca and a golfing aficionado. The designers of the course very wisely maintained a large part of the virgin jungle so as to limit as much as possible the negative ecological impact the golf course would have on the area. Today golfers share the course with a varied species of birds, monkeys, squirrels, snakes and monitor lizards that live in the jungle lining the fairways of the course. For golfers who come to Malacca, the visit must include a round of golf at AKCC. The natural setting, the sheer length and the challenges of the course will make it an unforgettable experience. Last but not least of the attractions of AKCC is the 18th hole, one of the longest in the world, a par 5, a distance of 604 meters.
