Genting Highlands, 13 June 2026 – Resorts World Awana (RWA) today welcomed His Royal Highness the Sultan of Pahang, Al-Sultan Abdullah Ri’ayatuddin Al-Mustafa Billah Shah Ibni Al- Marhum Sultan Haji Ahmad Shah, to officiate the opening of the newly remodelled Resorts World Awana Golf Course following its most extensive redevelopment since the course first opened in 1986.
The officiation ceremony was attended by Dato’ Sri Wan Rosdy Wan Ismail, Menteri Besar Pahang; Dato’ Seri Amirudin Shari, Menteri Besar Selangor; Tengku Datuk Seri Utama Zafrul Tengku Abdul Aziz, Senior Political Advisor to the Prime Minister; as well as representatives of Genting Malaysia Berhad (GENM) led by Gen Dato’ Seri DiRaja Tan Sri (Dr) Mohd Zahidi Bin Haji Zainuddin (R), Chairman of GENM, and Lee Thiam Kit, President of GENM.
The occasion marks another milestone for Resorts World Genting following the recent opening of Eufloria Gardens & Sculpture Park, reflecting the resort’s continued commitment to creating nature-inspired experiences that celebrate the unique environment of Genting Highlands.
First opened in 1986, the Resorts World Awana Golf Course has undergone a comprehensive transformation across all 18 holes, featuring redesigned greens, fairways, bunkers and teeing grounds, alongside enhancements to several hole layouts and the relocation of one hole. The remodelled course also incorporates new Black and Gold tees, upgraded drainage and irrigation systems, enlarged greens and durable Zoysia matrella turf to deliver improved playability and year-round course quality.
Beyond enhancing the golfing experience, the redevelopment of Resorts World Awana Golf Course also reflects this commitment to environmental stewardship. Approximately two-thirds of the site remains preserved as natural forest, allowing golfers to enjoy a distinctive highland course surrounded by cool mountain air, lush rainforest scenery and seasonal mist.
The remodelled course further strengthens Resorts World Genting’s appeal as a premier leisure and tourism destination, offering golfers a modern championship-calibre experience within one of Malaysia’s most scenic resort settings.
Golfers and guests are invited to experience the newly remodelled Resorts World Awana Golf Course and discover a new chapter of highland golf shaped by nature, elevation and thoughtful design.
