KLGCC East Course (Kuala Lumpur Golf & Country Club)

At 6741 meters from the tips, the KLGCC Kuala Lumpur East Course is parkland style, with beautiful vibrant-colored landscaping. This 18-hole championship ground was voted 4th best course in Malaysia in 2010. The design takes full advantage of the land's beauty and makes you feel in harmony with nature. It offers natural grasses and wetlands and natural habitats for numerous wildlife and birds.

Designed to reward the intelligent golfer, this course's length, layout, and toughness are perfectly balanced. The Kuala Lumpur golf course features impeccably maintained fairways and greens, challenging elevation changes, and an environment that enhances the essence of the local terrain.

The East course also has a pleasantly undulating parkland character, with several nicely elevated tee-boxes, providing a good look at the demands ahead. The lightly tree-lined, contoured fairways provide good definition to each hole, some requiring driving accuracy.

The opening holes of the back nine, flanked by OB and condominiums, is where straight-hitting from the tee is at a premium, much more so than on the easier-going front nine. Good bunkering, clinging rough around the greens, and, as your round progresses, more frequent and severe water hazards ensure that the KLGCC East Course continuously tests and probes your overall game.

The challenging back-nine loop contains a brutal closing stretch, with the par-5 16th throwing down one of the sternest tests; played from an elevated tee, water awaits any stray shots to either left or right. A small lake menacingly guards your approach shots to the respective greens at both the par-4 9th and 18th holes, which run in parallel back to the clubhouse.  Overall, the East course provides an enjoyable golf outing with an excellent championship layout.
