Malaysian Open
TPC Kuala Lumpur Golf and Country Club, or KLGCC as it is known, is located in the heart of Kuala Lumpur and is one of Malaysia’s most popular golf clubs. With 36 holes from which to choose – configured as the East and West courses – KLGCC offers a unique experience, but if you only have time to play one course, pick the championship West.
Three sponsors have supported the Malaysian Open since it became the first co-sanctioned event between the European and Asian Tours in 1999 and the event has been hosted at six different Malaysian venues in that time. The first Malaysian Open to be held on the Championship West course at Kuala Lumpur was in 2006 and this was where Korea’s Charlie WI won his first European Tour title, becoming only the second Korean to win on the European Tour after K J Choi.
Since the 2006 Malaysian Open, the West course at Kuala Lumpur Golf & Country Club has undergone a total redesign. Nelson & Haworth originally designed the West course, which opened for play in 1991, but Ted Parslow and Jason Winter of design company Parslow & Winter Golf Design extensively reconstructed the layout over a period of eighteen months. The revamped West course reopened in October 2008. The new, tougher 7,000-yard West course which plays across pleasantly undulating ground, features an additional lake on hole 9. Water now comes into play on no fewer than thirteen holes.
Kuala Lumpur Golf & Country Club hosted an exciting 2010 Malaysian Open, which resulted in a win for 18-year-old South Korean Noh Seung-yul, who edged out fellow countryman KJ Choi by a single shot in a dramatic finale on the 18th. In 2011, another youngster claimed the Malaysian Open title – Italy’s 17-year-old Matteo Manassero won by one shot. Unsurprisingly, a 16-year-old did not win the 2012 event, former Open Champion Louis Oosthuizen claimed the title. Thailand’s Kiradech Aphibarnrat prevailed in 2013 and Englishman Lee Westwood romped to victory in 2014. India’s Anirban Lahiri won in 2015, claiming his maiden European Tour title just three months after coming through Qualifying School.
Reviews for TPC Kuala Lumpur (West)
An absolutely wonderful golf course. Much longer than the East Course but still an absolute joy to play. The region I have found doesn’t have the fastest greens and whilst this has improved here at TPC Kuala Lumpur (formerly KLGCC) - I still think there are some areas for growth. Saujana and Kota Permai still stand out as the best greens in the city but do not compare to the course layout, length and experience of the West Course. It’s a very pretty course to the eye and whilst much can be said about this being fairly ’normal’ for this part of the world it still warrants a mention. As is standard practice in South-East Asia caddy’s accompany each golf cart, serving each two-ball which intelligently speeds up play given their knowledge of all the nooks and crannies of the course. Playing a one-ball here is against club rules and last I checked one isn’t able to play without a member and so visitors must be accompanied.
Hospitality-wise it’s a very good, the club house is enjoyable to sit and enjoy pre-/post-round. I couldn’t be in Kuala Lumpur and not play here. Highly recommend.

Played this course on a trip to Kuala Lumpur in November 2019. With far easier access to visitors than before, there really is no excuse for missing out on this course if playing golf in Kuala Lumpur. It's relatively easy access to the city centre is another plus. On the course it is a treat and you can tell why it is a regular host to the top golf tournaments like the Maybank Malaysian Open, CIMB Classic and Sime Darby LPGA. The course was in great condition when I played as I imagine it always is , but its the layout which impresses especially with the natural elevation changes and the water hazards in play in bulk of the holes. The round is a test, but as mentioned earlier, this is one of the unmissable ones in Southeast Asia.
