Kinrara Golf Club is the go to course whenever I have a long hiatus from golf for too
long and need a place to just loosen my swing. Why? It’s got an unbeatable price
and the location is still within a 30 minute drive from Kuala Lumpur. After the recent
change in management, the course also is going through a transformation towards
becoming a destination to not be missed out.
The tee box is no longer a sandbox, and life is starting to be seen. In other words,
they’ve upgraded the tee box. Albeit varying in degrees of lie, it is part of the
challenge right?
The fairways used to haunt golfers away, as it sucks away your well hit drives and
balls go amiss. But now it is no longer the case. You can see your balls bounce on
the fairways. However, the apron is still in need of some improvements, but again,
management is heading towards the right direction.
Bunkers were not in play prior to the upturn, but now, it is another obstacle to face in
Kinrara. Not the softest, but not the hardest sands to deal with either. So you’ve got
your bunker game to bring to this course.
Greens are on the slower side, so it might get a few holes to get you used to the
speed. But those chips and approaches should stick to their landing easily, so you’ve
got that going for you.
The golfer terrace is decent, plenty of choices for lunch, I would suggest the Coconut
Syrup if you are adventurous with your flavours.
The locker room facility has always been well kept clean and orderly. Now you’ve got
a glass door to separate the showers from the lockers, so the locker area is cool
enough to receive you from the heat as you complete your round at Kinrara
