Kelab Golf Perkhidmatan Awam or KGPA for short, is a golf course within 10km of
Kuala Lumpur or 3 minutes away from M Resort Hotel, which not only has location as
an attraction, but 3 well maintained nines (Hills, Lakes and Forest) for the avid golfer
to conquer.
The tee box is well maintained on all the 3 nines. As strict as their etiquette is, the
maintenance comes with it too, so win-win situation for both sides. You keep your
shirt tucked in, they maintain the course for you.
The fairways vary depending on which nines you are allocated. It just so happened
that I played Lakes and Forest on this particular gloomy morning for this review.
Lakes has fairways that doesn’t unravel its full tricks and challenges with the naked
eye, but you’ll know once you you hit your club of choice on the first tee box to start
your journey to conquer Lakes. As for Forest, the fairways are pretty straight forward,
finding the fairways is all about avoid the forest in the surrounding holes.
Bunkers are relatively soft, and as per usual, avoid at all cost. The elevated greens
can be difficult to reach once you are down in the green side bunkers. You’ve been
warned.
Greens are consistent, and you can get accustomed to it at 3 available practice
greens near the club house. Having play different courses, this always helps, so be
early, tuck your shirts, and get those putts rolling.
The golfer terrace is civil in price, so do not fret about the food service provided.
Portion is great too. If you do get hungry mid round, there is a halfway hut to
replenish those electrolytes with Neslo Ice or grab a roti sardin at the range.
The locker room facility is located near the golfer’s terrace so those tired legs don’t
have to wander too far to wash up and enjoy the rest of your stay in Kuala Lumpur!
