Ranging from three to five bedrooms, each unit comes with fully furnished living and dining areas, well equipped kitchen, barbecue and private swimming pool.

Rated as one of the best golf courses in Malaysia, A'Famosa championship facility is a combination of three nine hole courses designed by reputed Australian architect Ross C. Watson. Named for the prolific presence of boulder outcrops which serve both an aesthetic and strategic function, the Rocky Nine plays outwards from the Clubhouse up to Resort's boundary and then back to the Clubhouse. The Palm Nine is named for the great number of coconut trees lining the fairways and features several water hazards, including a spectacular water carry on the approach of the 5th. A'Famosa's newest course, Crocodile Nine is named after the crocodile pit that surrounds the peninsula green of the 7th hole! The course plays towards A'Famosa Water World, which provides a stunning backdrop to the 4th green.

Perched on a hill offering impressive vistas of the golf course, A'Famosa Clubhouse is a modern but traditionally styled facility offering top class amenities and excellent Food & Beverage outlets. Other facilities include spacious changing rooms, a well-stocked pro-shop and VIP Room.
