Every time we drove past A'Formosa Golf Resort, which we could vaguely see the layout of one of the hole near the North-South Expressway; Kim Sun always made the comments that he had not yet played this course.
After digging through the web, we found out that AGGR is offering golf package for Senior Golfers at RM78.00 during the CMCO (Conditional Movement Control Order) COVID-19 pandemic period. It was easy to decide that we will come here when the date was proposed!

We played the Palm nine and the Rocky nine today. The greens of palm nine were recently under sand tiling, as such the green speed were rather slow.
Overall, the course is reasonably well maintained , and most par 4s and par 5s are designed with dogleg left or right and you have to drive across water hazards on a number of holes as well.
After shower, I met and chatted with a young Executive, Mr Jimmy Tan and offered him some of my feedbacks and to my surprise, he gave me 4 free vouchers which entitled us to free green fees for our next game! Mr Tan gave me another present surprise when he told me that Mr Khoo can play for FREE and will only have to pay for Golf Insurance as he is above 80, thus qualified as a Golden Senior Golfer!!

Since we have the Golf Vouchers, we decided to come back and play AFGR even though we were here last week. We were so fortunate that this is probably the last game we could played outside KL as the Govt has just announced this morning that KL, Selangor and PutraJaya will be placed under CMCO effective 14-27 Oct. With this lockdown, inter state travel are strictly restricted!
Today we played the Rocky nine and the Crocodile nine. All of us agreed that the Crocodile nine was very well maintained especially the greens. Even though it was raining last few days, the fairways were not very soggy. Still the holes played rather long since the ball does not run that much.
