The name "Poresia" is a combination of the "Pore" of Singapore and "Sia" of Malaysia, and it symbolizes the link between the two countries and the cooperation of those who brought the resort into existence. Poresia Country Club is the nearest Johor Bahru country club to Singapore. The Johor golf course is located 15 minutes from the Tuas checkpoint and is set on 1,700 acres of a greater golf resort complex. The environs of Poresia Country Club are lush and show the rich in the natural beauty of Malaysia. Look for hibiscus flowers, oil palms, and tropical birds across the course. The design of the golf courses was planned by Pete Dye and suits both golf professionals and amateurs alike. Four interchangeable nine-hole loops - Hibiscus, Orchid, Sakura and Bougainvillea - make-up the 36 championship holes laid out in this former palm oil plantation. Poresia Country Club is a full service golfing facility. The large clubhouse has a local restaurant that serves up good Malaysian food at fair prices for those wanting to savor some of Malaysia’s goodies after their round.
