Malaysia Golf Guide

Ipoh, the city that tin built, was a millionaires’ town in its heyday in the 1900s. It was also during this era that the present Royal Perak Golf Club was established from 180 acres of secondary jungle. One of the finest clubs in Perak, it offers excellent facilities.

Situated in Ipoh town, the capital of Perak, Royal Perak Golf Club is a swell place, providing first class facilities to its 3.000 members. In addition, the 18-hole golf course stretching from Tiger Lane to the vicinity of the Gunung Rapat limestone cliffs has its fair share of challenges and golfers who execute sixties. The club’s excellent facilities like card and game rooms, squash courts, tennis courts, a swimming pool, a six-lane bowling centre, changing rooms, a bar lounge and dining room and an excellent pro shop.

The biggest tournament ever played at the Royal Perak Golf Course was the Malaysian Open Golf Championship held in 1974, which will again be played at the Royal Perak in 1990.

The par-72,(6,187 m) golf course layout has only one pond which comes into play at the 579 meters, par-4, 15th hole. The finishing hole is probably the most challenging par-5 on the golf course.

The 19th can either be holed within the club or better still in the city which has a bustling nightlife. Like the course. Ipoh has something for everyone.
