Royal Selangor Golf Club

About Royal Selangor Golf Club

The Royal Selangor Golf Club (RSGC) is one of the oldest and most prestigious golf clubs in Malaysia, established in 1893. Located in the heart of Kuala Lumpur, the club offers a rich history combined with a challenging and enjoyable golfing experience. RSGC features two 18-hole courses: the Old Course and the New Course, both designed in a traditional parkland style. The Old Course, known for its tight fairways and strategic bunkering, demands precision and careful shot placement, making it a challenge even for seasoned golfers. A notable hole is the par-3 17th on the Old Course, which requires an accurate tee shot over water to a well-guarded green, providing a thrilling test as the round nears its end. The New Course, while slightly more forgiving, still offers its own set of challenges with undulating fairways and tricky greens.
