The Royal Kampung Kuantan Club sits on Jalan Kelab at Bukit Rotan, in estate country near Kuala Selangor. British planters laid it out as a nine-hole course, it celebrated its centenary in 2010, and booking sites describe it as the oldest royal golf club in Selangor. It is a small, old-fashioned course about 45 minutes from Kuala Lumpur. Come for the history and the setting rather than a championship test, and pair it with an evening boat trip to see the fireflies a few kilometres down the road.
Royal Kampung Kuantan Golf Club green fees and tee times.
We found no club website. Booking platform Deemples sells regular tee times, with a “solo welcome” option for single players, and its listed prices were under RM100 in November 2026 (RM72 on weekdays and RM58 at weekends on the calendar, RM88 for solo slots); buggy and insurance appear as add-ons on the slots, so confirm what the price covers. For a group outing, Pelago sells a private half-day hire of the whole course that includes green fees, a shared buggy and insurance. On that booking caddies are compulsory and paid separately, a handicap certificate or proof of playing ability is needed, players must be 18 or accompanied by an adult, you register at the guest relations counter at least 30 minutes before tee-off, and there are no rain checks.
The round, in perspective.
Sources disagree on the current layout, so check when you book. Deemples describes the course as a nine of 2,771 metres at par 35, yet its own course data lists 18 holes, par 71 and 6,167 yards. Pelago says the planters’ nine has since become 18 holes. It was long a walking course; Deemples still calls it the only walking golf course in Selangor, though buggies are now offered on bookings. The appeal is age and atmosphere rather than length: this is a club where experienced local caddies still guide most rounds, and where reviews talk more about the pace of play than about the design.

Make the trip work.
Combine a morning round with the fireflies: the Kampung Kuantan firefly park is about 3 km away and boats go out after dark. In between, the Bukit Melawati hill and lighthouse in Kuala Selangor and the seafood restaurants of Pasir Penambang fill the afternoon. Allow a full morning: several Deemples reviews from July 2026 complain about slow play, and one reports six hours for 18 holes, so do not book anything tight for the afternoon.
The club is about 45 minutes by road from Kuala Lumpur, Petaling Jaya and the Klang Valley, heading north-west towards Kuala Selangor. There is no practical public transport, so drive or hire a car and driver for the day. Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KUL) is the main gateway; Subang Airport (SZB) is closer for regional turboprop flights.
Most visitors come on a day trip from Kuala Lumpur or Petaling Jaya. If you want to stay for the fireflies, Kuala Selangor town has small hotels and homestays, and riverside chalets near the firefly park cater for evening boat trips. Shah Alam, about 40 minutes south, has larger chain hotels and puts you closer to Saujana.
Make a trip of it.
Saujana Golf & Country Club in Shah Alam, with its Palm and Bunga Raya courses, is the obvious second round on the drive back towards Kuala Lumpur. Sungai Long, a Nicklaus course on the south-east side of the city, adds a modern contrast. Away from golf, Kuala Selangor Nature Park has mangrove boardwalks, and Bukit Melawati has a lighthouse, old fort remains and resident silvered leaf monkeys.
Find your season.
The Selangor coast is hot and humid all year. Rain is heaviest in the inter-monsoon months, roughly April and October to November, when afternoon storms are frequent. January to February and June to August tend to be drier. The fireflies are visible all year but are best on dark, dry nights away from the full moon.
It was built as a nine by British planters. Pelago now describes 18 holes, while Deemples gives both a nine of 2,771 metres at par 35 and an 18-hole card of 6,167 yards at par 71. Ask the club how the round is played when you book.
Can non-members play Royal Kampung Kuantan Golf Club?
Yes. Deemples sells individual tee times, including slots for a single golfer, and Pelago sells private half-day hire of the course for groups, with a handicap certificate or proof of playing ability required.
How old is Royal Kampung Kuantan Golf Club?
It celebrated its centenary in 2010, which dates it to about 1910. British planters laid it out as a nine-hole course, and Deemples and Pelago both call it the oldest royal golf club in Selangor.
