Kelab Golf and Country Club Kuala Kubu Bharu, Selangor

Kuala Kubu Bharu, north of Kuala Lumpur, has for long been treated as a halfway 'rest house' for those journeying to the cool mountain holiday resort at Fraser's Hill. Situated at the foot of the road leading to Fraser's Hill is the beautiful 18 Hole Golf Club (6062m), which is fondly known as the KGCKKB.

This 71 par course is spread over 120 acres of land which was formerly a rubber plantation and jungle. Therefore the design of the course is designed with the natural surroundings of the area in mind. The undulating nature of the terrain gives the course a very hilly character, which proves very challenging indeed. An inreresting feature of the KGCKKB is that the club house and the golf course are linked by a suspension bridge, which makes the place very unique.

The course itself has very few water hazards, but there are enough sand bunkers (40 all together) on the fairways and around the greens to catch the usual waywardness. The Serangoon greens are well maintained and could pose some tricky problems to the unwary golfer.

The second nine awaits golfers with a series of slopes and beams, bunkers, tight fairways and tricky greens. Not surprisingly, golfers often get complimented if they finish the second nine without losing any ball. KGCKKB is becoming popular and is fast becoming a holiday retreat for those journeying back to nature.
