With 4 tour events every year, KL is one of the most popular stops for many tournament professionals. Playing at the CIMB Classic in October 2013, this is what the greats had to say: “This is my first visit to Malaysia and I knew that I liked it as soon as I walked off the aeroplane; the air is clean, the weather’s nice, the city is clean and Kuala Lumpur has a really good feel to it; it’s a special place!” said current Open Champion Phil Mickelson; whilst Ernie Els added “Malaysia’s a wonderful place to come to. It feels like you are walking in to a garden. It’s beautiful, with unbelievable resorts.” Rickie Fowler got straight to the point… “I love KL. I’m excited to be here!”

Offering a vast range of golf experiences from up in its highlands and by beaches to jungle settings and close to cities, Malaysia has more than 200 courses, many of them top-drawer designs by notable architects. So make your next golf trip to Malaysia where you will enjoy stress-free and great value golf! And the entertainment doesn’t stop when the golf is over, as PGA Tour pro Jimmy Walker said at the CIMB Classic: “We’ve been having fun! We’ve been going out every night!”

On his last visit Tiger Woods was ebullient: “It´s fun to come to Malaysia. I enjoy sightseeing in the city and it´s especially beautiful at night. I´d definitely recommend people to come visit Malaysia. It´s such a safe city and the entire region is a fantastic place.”
