Felda Residence Golf Club is a golf club and country resort run by the Felda Travel, a sister company of Felda Group alongside the Felda Residence Hot Springs which is just nearby. Situated in the town and sub-district or “mukim” of Sungkai off the main A110 route, it offers another option of fun and entertainment by means of playing golf, taking advantage of the presence of the already popular Sungai Klah Hot Springs Park. It is about an hour and ten minutes away if driving from the state capital of Ipoh and is easily found especially if visitors are staying at the Felda Residence Hot Springs.

Felda Residence Golf Club is definitely the go-to centre for all things golfing, considering it is the only one golf course in the area. Due to its location which would be pretty isolated from town, the setup is always lush and surrounded by greenery, giving a different perspective and probably a much calmer feeling that is unparalleled especially if one is used to playing golf in a golf course inside a city. The golf club is a continuation of Felda’s expansion plans to offer travel and hospitality services, in which the said program initially brought in a lot of settlers to come in by the Klah river area to open more land for agriculture.

A well-known spot with the locals, the falls can be pretty crowded during the weekends and yet finding it could be an adventure in itself since there are no proper signboards to show the way to the said falls, so one may need to ask around to get to the falls.
