  It’s not necessary to pack an alarm clock when preparing for a golf holiday at the Borneo Highlands Resort, a foliage swathed sports sanctuary located an hour outside Kuching. As day breaks over this rainforest ringed retreat, the call of the Sarawak jungle can easily be heard.
If the early morning cries of monkeys and calls of birds can somehow be ignored the continual splash of water most certainly can not. At 7.30 every morning a switch is flipped and a manmade waterfall bubbles to life as a torrent of water begins to cascade into a crystal clear pool.
For some this is literally a wake-up call. Others chalk it up as just one of many interesting experiences on the green fields of Sarawak.
An illustrated feature on this mist touched golf haven can be written on assignment from 1000 to 2000 words depending upon editorial requirements. A short ‘sidebar’ on the attractions of Kuching can also be provided.
