places like KLGCC, Mines, RSGCC are pretty ex..... need member to sign in too

but u can try kota permai (nicasio is member), subang (golfool is member)....

or u can try staying at Glenmarie or Hyatt (suajana), both have play n stay packages.....

if u dun mind bit further, i like kacang hill.....

there are a few other courses but i cant remember from the top of my head..... just cant remember the malay names

i am sure some of the mysian GR members here can help u out.....

Pm bro botak and play silly selangor!

Now where is Lee when we need him?

Subang is nice. 2 18s and the course is very mature.

Played bukit jalil and monterez before..bukit jalil is not bad..monterez is short course but very challenging..

There is simply a PROFUSION of courses around KL to try.

To narrow it down, need to know the requirements.

Preferred green speed? Slow or fast?

Type of grass - bermuda or cow grass?

Scenery important?

Maturity of trees?

Buggy on fairway or buggy on track?

Narrow fairways, great challenge for the accurate or flat, wide beginner-friendly airport runway fairways?

Within KL itself or willing to travel slightly outskirt?

And of course, budget.

There is a combination to meet every possible requirement. You can't throw a stone without hitting a golf course.

Seri (Silly) Selangor: very challenging greens. As fast as putting on glass. Challenging layout and gnarly roughs. BTW, it is a public course but one of the hardest in KL/Klang Valley

The Mines: Venue for CIMB Asia Pacific Classic (PGA tournament)

Saujana, Palm Course: One word: Tough!!!

KGPA: Public course and also very challenging

Just back from kl, monterez min 3 balls flight on wkend. Kota permai, very gd course but need member to sign in.. Played at port klang, public course (not too bad considering its a public course), RM 88 for 18 holes.

wow.. thx for the recommendations! looks like there are too many courses in kl for me to explore!

Bro, most of the courses mentioned above e.g. Subang, Saujana, kota permai are all members only courses......sri selangor is a gem and kajang hills are public....skip monterez, it's practically a miniature golf course for a premier league player like yourself....

For more in-depth reviews of courses and whether it's private/public, check out http://gilagolf.net/

Yes, PLENTY of courses to choose from, esp if you have no specific requirement. Here's a list, which contains more than 20 courses. (And I think there's more that's not on the list.)

Contains some description of each. Like I said, throw a stone, and you'll hit a golf course.

If you are willing to travel abit further fm KL say 6 hours or so, palmV in Johor is pretty good and forgiving.



ps: since we have NS, mite as well call out Johor...



thanks

Mat Johor (aka D)

We all should plan a golf road trip.....

Looks like there's enough info in this thread to get the OP started on course selection in KL.

FYI, Mines and KLGCC should be closed to public by now... PGA and LPGA stars coming to play this month
