The Graham Marsh designed course makes up the majority of the manicured landscaping of Sutera Harbour Resort and is coveted by many golfing visitors to Kota Kinabalu.
However, the club is only open to members, as well as guests staying at either the Pacific Sutera or the Magellan Sutera. If you fall into neither of these categories, but still want to play, then it’s time to get cozy with a member who’s allowed to bring guests.
The list of facilities available between the golf club, the marina and the rest of Sutera Harbour Resort boggles the mind and once you’ve seen it, you will realise why many golfing holiday makers staying at Sutera Harbour Resort never venture far away.
To whet your appetite for golfing and generally lounging around 5-star facilities, refer to the golf club and Sutera Harbour Resort main pages to see what you can do and where.
There are, of course, alternative ways to get there too, of which you can read in this article posted last year.
The Chinese New Year holidays are past, but the memories remain. One of the more memorable Lion Dances Sabahbah.com encountered this festive season was at Kota Kinabalu’s Waterfront, where we saw a spectacular Chinese New Year Lion Dance at The Loft.

We visisted TuneHotels.com and got the skinny first hand. Yes, the rooms are small, but damn, are they clean – and if you’re really an intrepid explorer, then that’s what you need.
Downbelow Dive Centre will facilitate a free Project AWARE beach and reef clean-up on 20 September, co-sponsored by Sabah Parks.
Downbelow Dive Centre will provide the speedboat transfers to their dive station on Gaya island, also the location of the Sabah Park Headquarters for the Tunku Abdul Rahman Marine Park.
The clean-up operation will be based here and will entail rubbish collection from the beach and river mouth, as well as from the reefs in the immediate vicinity. An open-water dive qualification is required for the latter activity.
Downbelow Dive Centre has made their diving infrastructure available for this event, and Sabah Parks has agreed to waive the park entry and jetty fees, which means this Project AWARE sponsored event is completely free for participants.
As a result divers cleaning the reefs will have equipment available at no cost to them and for everybody, the boat transfers, lunch, park fees and jetty fees will also be free of charge.
In summary:
Date: Saturday, 20 September 2008
Time: 10:30am – 4:00pm
Location: Depart from Sabah Parks Jetty in front of Hyatt Regency Kinabalu
Event Location: Gaya Island, Tunku Adbul Rahman Marine Park
Cost: As many bags of rubbish as you can collect.
Included: Return transfers, lunch, equipment rental, party entry fees, jetty fees
Remember, you’ll be out in the sun all day, so bring along at least sunscreen and a hat.
We only had space for 30 participants at this particular event, and we’ve already filled the quota. In future more such events are planned, so join the KK Dive Club and make sure you’re in the loop next time.
