The condition is really terrible.

Try starhill or pondorosa, alot better.

Actually wkdays a lot of golf courses in JB are reasonably cheap. Like Palm villa only SGD 25, condition definitely better than Austin. With the opening of the new highway, Puteri is also now not to far and price reasonable as well. The only one I think it's ex now is Horizon Hill.

Dear greenteaz,

I use to be a term member at Austin hill, they have 36 holes, austin and hill course, very scenic and challenging. After a very heavy down pour, there was a land slide at one of the 9 hole, they close one 9. So left 27 holes to play, condition still ok, than around the courses, developers start building houses around the courses, they cut down trees and deforest the whole area, so when it rains, all water channel into the golf course, the condition was quite bad. So they close another 9 hole, and we left 18 to play, one and a half years back a new management bought over this place and call it Austin height, they are rebuilding a new 18 hole, and claim to be as good as horizon hill, right now they are in the making of new 18 holes, so for now, there is only 9 holes for you to play. Is cheap, but you have to play 9 hole x 2 round, not sure the condition, cos more than 6 month never play there. Good luck to you. Maybe after you play there, can tell us how is the condition. Hahaha....

The so called pro shop is outside at the range, the PIC is actually the same as Daiman 18 Transview Golf Mr. Tan.

Female toilet only? affraid

Hopefully will only bump into pretty lady golfer... cheers
