  GOLF REVIEW.....Good golf but terrible administration

  I've played Ponderosa four times now. The course is fine with lots of mature trees and a couple of good challenges. The golf ops team is friendly and helpful and the bar/restaurant is quite OK for the 19th hole. However... The booking system and the front desk team are both absolutely terrible. My mates and I always make a booking and always ask to book caddies. On arrival the team can't find the booking (hoping maybe I will just go away and not bother them?) then magically find the booking! But... The price they want to charge is rarely that which was quoted on booking (i.e. they want to hit me up for more). When I point this out a flurry of calculator-tapping ensues with all four people on the desk peering at the screen and randomly tapping at calculators. When we eventually get this sorted I'm advised there are no caddies available. Now when I go out back there are a DOZEN caddies sitting around eating and chatting so I know that they actually exist. This has happened twice now. Frankly the person who took the booking just couldn't be bothered to either a) tell us that all the caddies were booked or b)actually enter the request for caddies into the system. ITS NOT THAT HARD GUYS! JUST DO YOUR JOB! And the icing on the cake is that, when we go to complain, we are asked 'Who took the booking?" No one takes down the name of the booking clerk, surely, when phoning in a golf booking? Seems that is MANDATORY at Ponderosa if you want to get anything done. So if you are going to play Ponderosa please go with VERY LOW EXPECTATIONS of the admin! Otherwise you will end up like me and cursing your way around the front nine!

  Worth for money & Peace of Mind

  The location of the hotel is quite close to the jb town. As for the room even though is look very old design & being small but is clean and suprisingly is comfortable and well maintained. The staff is very friendly .. Surely will come back again if i have another trip to jb !!

  need more friendly staff

  Well, I came here for lunch and 1 thing i remember is I CAN SEE FRIENDLY STAFF except the buggie driver. i have to wait more than 30 minute to get water. the dish that I have does not reflect this golf club. They do need to learn how to maintain their smile to customer.

  A Short Stay for a short vocation during March 2018

  This was always our usual hiding ground when we have a short vacation and could not travel away. The resort was tucked away in a Golf and Country Golf. We loved the room as it was spacious. Moreover, there were only 16 rooms in the entire resort. Hence, it would not be crowed even if the occupancy rate was full. The swimming pool was Gym were at the ground floor. It was convenient for us to swim and exercise. The swimming might be crowded in the evening as it was opened to the Country Club members. The Gym was always not many people. There was a lot of greenery space between where we stay and the club house. There were 3 restaurants for us to choose for our meals. A bar for us to visit for wine at night. Alternately, we could drive out for food as the resort was situated in an area where good dining restaurants were there. We gave the place a 4 star as some of the room facilities in the hotel room needed some upgrading. For example, the shower and the TV reception. Nevertheless, we would consider the place when we have a short rest time away from our home.

  Golf trip

  Brought a friend from HK for a game of golf in JB and to enjoy some massage and local food. We were just 2 players and opted for a course nearer and Ponderosa is a good choice. I played many times before and the first for my HK friend. We had a buggy and elected to have a caddy to help guide and provide assistance more for my friend. I must say that they course is very well maintained. The fairway is great. Greens is fairly fast and tricky. Our caddy, Wulan [from Medan] was very good with line reading and assist. Sharp eyes watching some of our wayward shorts. Overall a very happy experience. Why do so many people visit JB despite the poor management of our ICA to clear queue. It is just excuses after excuses after more than 50 years. If it is about manpower being the latest excuse, up the salary scale, pay by incentive, variable bonus, etc. I am sure we have enough scholars to sort it out. The chinese says, "si ai mai". I do not think that the authorities nor the Government can stop its citizen from visiting JB. Many Singaporean are dependent upon being able to make those trips for various reasons. Likewise, many of our friends from Malaysia need to visit Singapore too. Make it more pleasant to do the crossing. Yes, there are drugs mules etc. We have all the resources and network to apprehend them. When caught punish them heavily. Some will get through, it is inevitable, its life. Sorry I digress, yes indeed Ponderosa is a good golf course to enjoy.
