The Mines Resort & Golf Club is a miracle of man and nature. A unique transformation of the World’s largest open cast tine mine into a golf course like no other, it is a product of vision and inspiration. The location has a rich history dating back to 1909 when tin was a precious metal fetching lucrative prices that made Malaysia the largest producer of tin in the world. Mining ceased in 1982 leaving behind a vast stretch of depressions and lakes. And today, a stunning 18-hole golf course stands in its place. As a reminder of the glorious past, entrances to the old mine shafts still exist. But what really excites the avid golfer is the knowledge that a land once rich in precious minerals now exists as a natureland rich with beauty and wonder.
