Sungai Long Golf & Country Club

Opened in 1992 in the Bandar Sungai Long township on the Cheras-Kajang side of Kuala Lumpur, Sungai Long Golf & Country Club was the first Jack Nicklaus Signature course built in Malaysia. The 18-hole, par-72 layout covers about 160 acres of gently rolling parkland, mixing tree-lined and open holes with shaped fairways, sandy waste areas and greens guarded by typical Nicklaus bunkering. Ponds sit beside several fairways and come into play on two of the par 3s. The course hosted the golf events of the 2001 SEA Games, and a major renovation finished around 2013 brought new TifEagle Bermuda greens along with drainage and irrigation upgrades. Club facilities include a driving range, swimming pool, tennis and squash courts, and restaurants and banquet rooms, and the club is about 15 minutes' drive from central Kuala Lumpur when traffic is light. Good to know: Closed on Tuesdays. Weekend and public holiday mornings RM550. Buggies allowed on fairways (subject to club and weather).
