If your stuff takes you to Kuala Lumpur, you can't miss the Royal Selangor! This large private club which dates from 1893 is the oldest course in Malaysia; located in the heart of the city, the 45 holes of the Royal Selangor are dominated by the Petronas towers, from their height of 452 meters.

The Old Course, which we recommend as a priority, was completely redesigned in 2007 to bring it up to the level of current professional golf; after two years of work, the result is a perfect compromise between respect for the original design and modernization by a very intelligent integration of bunkers and water obstacles.

On this course that you must play on foot with a caddy of great experience, the heat and the length of the holes quickly make you forget any memorable score project!

So take advantage of the simple and efficient route in the shade of the centenary trees; seize the contrasts between colonial houses from the British era and the ultra modern towers of the futuristic metropolis that is KL and join the clubhouse with the quaint charm of the Royal Selangor.
