Forest City Golf Courses, Water Park, and On-Site Amenities You Might Not Know About
Discover Forest City's hidden amenities beyond Network School: golf courses, water park, beach club, and recreational facilities for NS members.
Golf and Sports Facilities
Forest City features a 18-hole Jack Nicklaus-designed golf course that is open to residents and visitors.
Forest City features a 18-hole Jack Nicklaus-designed golf course that is open to residents and visitors. Green fees range from RM150 to RM350 depending on day and time. Club rental is available for about RM100. There are also tennis courts, badminton courts, and a cycling path that loops through the development. For NS members who enjoy golf, having a championship course within walking distance is a rare perk at this price point. The course is well maintained despite Forest City's occupancy challenges, and weekday rounds are uncrowded.
Water Park and Beach Club
Forest City has a small water park with slides and a lazy river, primarily designed for families but enjoyable for adults. Entry fees are RM30 to RM50. The beach club offers a more relaxed vibe with loungers, a pool bar, and views of the Strait of Johor with Singapore in the distance. These facilities see minimal use, which means you often have them nearly to yourself. Some NS members make the water park a weekend social activity, going as a group and making a day of it.
Shopping and Dining Within Forest City
Forest City's commercial area has expanded with the SEZ designation. A small mall includes convenience stores, cafes, a few restaurants, a pharmacy, and service shops. The dining options are limited compared to JB but sufficient for basics — a Chinese restaurant, a Malay kitchen, a cafe, and fast food. The duty-free zone within Forest City offers cheaper alcohol and chocolate than mainland Malaysia. More retail and dining options are planned as the SEZ attracts more residents and businesses.
Recreational Spaces
Walking and jogging paths wind through landscaped gardens with tropical plants and water features. The waterfront promenade offers a scenic route for morning runs or evening walks. A community garden project has started where residents can grow herbs and vegetables. The swimming pool at the NS residential complex is available 24/7 and rarely crowded. For those who want outdoor exercise beyond the NS gym, the Forest City grounds provide ample space for running, cycling, yoga, and bodyweight training.
