Seri Selangor Golf And Country Club

Few golf clubs carry the civic pride of Seri Selangor Golf And Country Club, situated in Petaling Jaya — a city that grew from a planned satellite town in the 1950s into one of the most densely developed urban centres in the Klang Valley. The club occupies a slice of green in one of Malaysia's most economically active corridors, where the skyline of Greater Kuala Lumpur is never far from view. Playing golf here means playing in the heartland of Selangor state, the wealthiest and most populous state in the country.

Malaysia's tropical climate shapes every round: expect lush, fast-recovering fairways, year-round greenery, and the near-certainty of an afternoon thunderstorm rolling in off the surrounding hills. The heat and humidity demand a different kind of stamina than the courses of cooler latitudes.

As a country club in this setting, Seri Selangor almost certainly serves a membership community tied to Petaling Jaya's substantial professional and business class — the kind of club where regular society competitions and a well-used clubhouse are as central to the experience as the 18 holes themselves.
