Our Philosophy

The Borneo Highlands Resort is envisioned and created by Tan Sri Lee Kim Yew based on the concept/theme of “Back to Nature, Back to Basics“.

Key Achievements in Environment/Social Activities

• Borneo Highlands Resort spreads out over a wide area of 5000 acres. Only 1500 acres is reserved for development. Development includes golf course, clubhouse, exclusive bungalow development (controlled), organic farms, water reservoirs, landscape gardens, horticulture nursery, etc.
• Borneo Highlands Resort employs close to 160 employees. 65% of the employees are from the nearby communities (local natives of the area-villages along Padawan). Approx 50% employees have worked for Borneo Highlands Resort for 5 years and above.

Maintenance and Conservation Efforts Practices on the Hornbill Golf Course

• Minimise use of chemicals, usually not used unless necessary. Use organic based fertilizer for green and tee box. Very low application of fertiziler for rough and fairways.
• Control of weeds at green and tee box is 100% hand-weeding
• Hand-weeding to control weeds at landscaping areas
• Organic fertilizer for landscaping plants
• Spray fungicide only when needed. Control by means of healthy cultural practices. (Hollow thinning, top dressing with sand, etc.)
