Miri Golf Club

The Discovery of oil in 1905 brought wealth, prosperity, and tremendous growth to the then small fishing village of Miri. The expatriates from the Netherlands and England drove the establishment of Miri Golf Club in 1910. Today, Miri has evolved into a bustling metropolis.

The first six holes of the existing course were constructed in 1924 by Sarawak Oilfield Limited, the forerunner of Sarawak Shell. It is only a 15-minute car ride to Miri Golf Club from Miri Airport or 25-minutes from the city center.

The Miri Golf Club location is among the rustic surroundings of a Malay village on top of a picturesque sandbar between the Miri River and the South China Sea. However, only a stone's throw away from the Miri city center, separation by the Miri River offers a worry-free hideaway and the hustle and bustle of the city not seen. The 18-hole golf course lies on flat land bordering beautiful white sandy beaches. The early course designers successfully added strategic water hazards and bunkers to make up for the seemingly flat and 'easy' terrain. Surrounded by tall and ancient Casuarina Pine trees, Kelab Golf Miri has a unique beauty.

The signature par-3 twelfth hole presents a birdie chance at only 150 yards. However, with water stretching to the threshold of tiny green, it is not uncommon to see even single handicappers posting scores of double bogey or worse.

Kelab Golf Miri is a full-featured sports club with a well-stocked clubhouse, pro-shop, and practice facilities. The Malaysia golf course suits both expatriate and visiting golfers.
