Course Design: A Blend of Challenge and Natural Beauty

The 18-hole, par-71 course at Kinrara Golf Club stretches over 5,841 meters, designed by celebrated golf architects E.H. Parslow and Roslee Muda. The duo’s expertise is evident in a course that combines strategic complexity with visual harmony, offering a fun yet challenging experience for all levels of players.

The course is divided into two distinctive nine-hole layouts: Creek Course and Waterfall Course.

  • Creek Course features a tranquil stream weaving through the fairways, creating natural hazards that demand both accuracy and course management.
  • Waterfall Course, on the other hand, uses gentle elevation changes and a backdrop of lush tropical trees and a small cascading waterfall, delivering a more scenic, parkland-style experience.

Though slightly shorter than many championship-length courses, Kinrara compensates with clever doglegs and tight fairways that reward precision over power. The signature 403-meter par-4 dogleg hole is a standout—testing both strategy and shot-making for beginners and seasoned golfers alike.

Adding to the course’s charm, a natural river cuts through parts of the layout, serving as both a visual centerpiece and a strategic obstacle. Towering trees and nearby villas provide an elegant, tranquil frame to the course, giving it a private-club feel at public-course pricing.

Fairway Quality and Professional Maintenance

Since November 2018, course maintenance at Kinrara Golf Club has been overseen by the TPC Kuala Lumpur team—renowned for managing some of the region’s best courses. The improvement is immediately noticeable, particularly in the fairway resilience and green consistency.

The fairways are known for their excellent drainage and stability, even after heavy rainfall. Thanks to efficient water management and modern turf care, Kinrara remains playable the next morning, unlike many courses nearby that struggle with soggy conditions.

The greens are smooth, firm, and responsive to putting, giving golfers fair roll and rewarding skillful play. This meticulous upkeep makes Kinrara an attractive venue for local tournaments, corporate outings, and serious practice sessions.

Well-paved buggy tracks throughout the course ensure fast, smooth transitions between holes, helping players save time and stay comfortable. The combination of thoughtful design and professional maintenance gives Kinrara a level of polish that rivals private clubs—at a fraction of the cost.

Resort Facilities and Supporting Amenities

One of Kinrara’s greatest strengths lies in its connection to the Kinrara Golf Resort, a three-star hotel complex located within the same grounds. The resort complements the course perfectly, offering comfortable accommodation and modern event facilities for both golfers and general visitors.

The resort features meeting rooms, a ballroom, and multi-function halls suitable for corporate meetings, weddings, and group gatherings—making Kinrara a top choice for corporate golf days and social tournaments.

Golf-specific and leisure facilities include:

  • 21-bay driving range, spacious and well-lit for extended practice hours
  • Chipping and putting greens for short-game training
  • Pro Shop offering equipment and apparel from leading golf brands
  • golfer’s terrace and restaurant serving local and Western cuisine
  • Prayer room (mushola) and clean locker rooms
  • Full wheelchair accessibility across facilities
