Templer Park Country Club is a beautiful golf course, just 40 minutes away from the
heart of Kuala Lumpur. It is to me, one of Malaysia’s must visit golf course just for the
stunning view itself.
The tee box is well maintained, a divot or two, quickly covered by caddies. But do
expect some slight degrees of slopes here and there, as Templer is rightly placed
next to caves in the nearby vicinity.
The fairways are wide, but sometimes hidden by trees, which sounds tricky, but
caddies will pinpoint you in the right direction. Fret not if that isn’t challenging
enough, on some holes, large bodies of water can mentally derail even the longest
hitters.
Bunkers are soft. End of. So make sure your bunker game is on top to get out of the
numerous bunkers placed around the greens and hugging the fairways.
Greens are consistent throughout the whole 18 holes, and speed is considered faster
than most courses in Malaysia. If you need a feel for the pace of the greens, they
have multiple putting greens for you to warm up those putts.
My most recent experience here was a shotgun start at Hole 15, par 5 to start on a
cold morning first flight tee off.
The front nine eases new comers with an easy warm welcome to Templer Park,
whereas the back nine starts to test your fairway finding abilities through tight entries
with the jungle left and right.
The golfer terrace is rightly priced for a golf course within the radius of Kuala Lumpur.
Spacious and perhaps the only place recommended to replenish or load up before
the round. A lot of wildlife awaits, so any food is best eaten beforehand.
The locker room facility is top notch and shoe-free. But don’t worry, a guard will look
over your shoes while you freshen up in a very well maintained recovery shower
experience.
