Forest City Golf Villas: Where Sport and Living Flourish Together

Within the broader blueprint of the Johor-Singapore Special Economic Zone (JS-SEZ), Forest City is carving out a unique identity—one that blends the energy of sport with the tranquility of residential living. Here, golf is more than a leisure pursuit. It’s an everyday lifestyle woven into the fabric of home, nature, and community.

A Symbiosis of Golf Courses and Homes

From the very start, Forest City’s masterplan envisioned sport and residence as complementary forces. Two 18-hole international standard golf courses—the Legacy Course and the Classic Course—now encircle villa communities like ribbons of green. Designed by golf legends Jack Nicklaus, Jack Nicklaus II, and acclaimed designer Liang Guokun, these courses transform everyday life into a golfer’s paradise.

The villas themselves are thoughtfully embedded into this landscape. With 34-foot-wide garden frontages in Z-shaped layouts, homes open directly onto sweeping green vistas. Owners of the three completed villa communities are already experiencing what “living by the green” truly means: morning walks along fairway edges, evenings gazing from private courtyards at players mid-swing, and seamless transitions between leisure and home life.

Adding to this allure, every villa purchase comes with a complimentary Golf Privilege Card valued between RM58,800 (five years) and RM78,800 (seven years). This membership grants owners and their guests year-round playing rights—weekdays, weekends, and public holidays—at Forest City’s golf resorts, along with access to golf carts and tee-time reservations. The card is transferable, ensuring flexibility and preserving long-term value.

The privileges extend beyond golf: cardholders enjoy discounts on hotel stays, facilities, and retail, along with complimentary access to hotel pools and fitness centers. This integrated benefits package ensures that sport and lifestyle flow naturally together.

A Dual-Support Lifestyle Ecosystem

Forest City’s infrastructure is designed as a “dual-service” ecosystem—meeting everyday residential needs while also catering to professional sporting standards. Along the bustling Harbor commercial street, duty-free boutiques sit alongside sports equipment shops. The 4KM coastal facilities attract millions of visitors each year, offering residents alternative leisure and fitness options beyond golf.

The ecological environment is another shared foundation. The Pulai River system and mangrove wetlands provide natural scenic buffers for the golf courses, while also offering residents a restorative escape into nature. Landscaped gardens merge seamlessly with fairways, dissolving the boundaries between “community greenery” and “sporting grounds,” and creating a continuous oxygen-rich landscape.

Policy Incentives Strengthening the Lifestyle

The policy advantages of the Johor-Singapore Special Economic Zone (JS-SEZ) reinforce Forest City’s positioning as a destination for cross-border living. Homebuyers benefit from Malaysia’s MM2H (Malaysia My Second Home) policy and duty-free island privileges, lowering barriers to residency while creating a hub for international golf enthusiasts.

Comprehensive on-the-ground services further support this way of life. A 24-hour auxiliary police force and eight categories of property management services—from sports equipment storage to laundry for golf attire—ensure residents enjoy peace of mind. Even seniors living independently are cared for, with health and safety support tied to sporting activity.

In Forest City, golf is no longer a distant luxury, and home is more than just a shelter. Together, they form a lifestyle philosophy: “Live through sport, and sport through life.” Anchored by the Special Financial Zone (SFZ), enriched by the JS-SEZ framework, and supported by nature and policy, Forest City paints a picture of modern living where recreation, community, and residence thrive in harmony.
