Sri
Menanti, Negeri Sembilan's Royal town, is situated about
25 kilometers from Seremban
and 11 kilometers from Kuala
Pilah. This historically rich
Royal town, a I rustic, quite idyllic town holds the
sole distinction of having the only 18-holes golf course
surrounded by three palaces.
The
official palace of the Yang DiPertuan Besar, the Istana
Besar, is located just next to the course, the other
two palaces being-the Istana Perkasa Alam perched on
the hill top, and the historical lstana Lama (now the
Royal Museum), which stands just next to the Sri Menanti
Resort. KDRSM owes its beginning to one personage - none
other than His Royal highness. The Yang Dipertuan Besar
of Negeri Sembilan, Tuanku Jaafar Ibni Almarhum Tuanku
Abdul Rahman himself, who is an avid golfer. The overall
design and construction of the original nine-hole
layouts was planned, implemented and
financed
by His Royal Highness to liven up the town and to
provide an avenue for local golfing buffs to answer the
'call of the fairways'.
After careful planning, a course design
was evolved with the help of Donald Steel, an English
architect, and construction began in 1981. Like the
original Nine, the design of Sri Menanti 2899 meter par
course new nine is the brainchild of His Royal Highness
himself, with the technical support of local engineer
Ir. K.K Lee and local gold course architect Muhamad
Kamal Yassin, If you like a challenging golf outing with
historical and natural kampung settings, KDRSM is the
course to conquer.
