Seri Selangor Golf Club

Overview: Seri Selangor Golf Club is an 18-hole public parkland course in Petaling Jaya, within the wider Kuala Lumpur golf market. The club describes itself as Malaysia's first bona fide public golf course and emphasizes the natural undulations of its fairways and greens. Its official hole guide divides the layout into the Menteri Besar nine and the PKNS nine, with tree-lined corridors, ponds, rivers, raised greens and deep bunkers creating a strategic test. The current guide supports par 72, while no single official full-course yardage was found.

History: The club's current website dates its foundation to 1998 and presents the course as a public alternative within Selangor's unusually dense golf scene. The two named nines are treated as one 18-hole routing, but retain distinct personalities: the Menteri Besar side builds around uphill holes and water, while the PKNS side uses hillslopes, ponds and tighter corridors. An architect and a separate present-course opening year were not verified in the reviewed official material, so those fields remain blank.

Did You Know? Seri Selangor plays back-to-back par fives at the fifth and sixth holes on the Menteri Besar nine. The fifth brings water around the left of the green, while the sixth asks players to drive over a pond and then decide whether a long second shot is worth the risk. The 18th provides another memorable water line, with a river cutting diagonally toward the green. These sequences make course management central even though the club describes the layout as relatively short.
