Mining works start at Beruntung
BUKIT Beruntung Golf & Country Resort as of Aug 1, will be managed by the Mines Excellent Golf Resort Berhad (MEGRB). A spokesperson for MEGRB said that the existing 36 holes at Bukit Beruntung will be upgraded in stages.
A fleet of new buggies has been ordered and is expected to arrive in October, while upgrading works will be carried out in most of the club’s amenities including changing rooms, point of sales and sports facilities such as tennis, badminton and squash courts, swimming pool, gymnasium and other service areas.
A new membership programme was also announced by MEGRB, whereby golfers need only pay RM300 a month to use the club’s facilities. There will be no subscription fees charged.
It is expected that MEGRB will seek to change the name of Bukit Beruntung GCR in due time. Although no reason was offered as to why MEGRB has taken over Bukit Beruntung, it can be speculated that this 36-hole layout is to complement the 64-hole Mines Golf City project that was launched by Hall of Famer Annika Sorenstam.
The Swede and South Korean Se Ri Pak have been signed to design two courses at the Mines Golf City. The third architect has not been announced yet.
MEGRB also manages the Mines Golf & Spa Resort in Sungai Besi, the venue for the US PGA-sanctioned CIMB Asia Pacific Golf Classic in October.
