About this course
Kelab Golf Perkhidmatan Awam, also known as the Civil Service Golf Club, operates two courses in Kuala Lumpur: the Forest Course and the Lake Course. The Forest Course takes its name from the wooded terrain that characterizes much of the property, with play routed through natural Malaysian jungle and mature tree cover. The layout features elevation changes typical of courses built in Kuala Lumpur's hilly landscape, where the topography creates strategic interest and demands thoughtful club selection on approach shots. The course serves Malaysia's civil service community and has maintained a reputation as a solid test of golf within the capital city. The tree-lined fairways require accuracy from the tee, as errant shots often find trouble in the dense vegetation that frames most holes. Water features appear on several holes, adding to the challenge and reflecting the "Lake" designation of the club's companion course. The greens are generally modest in size and protected by bunkering that rewards precise iron play. Kelab Golf Perkhidmatan Awam provides a traditional club atmosphere for its membership, with facilities that include dining areas and practice grounds. The Forest Course offers a contrast to some of Kuala Lumpur's more modern resort-style layouts, maintaining a parkland character shaped by the natural forest environment. The course remains a regular venue for local competitions and serves as an accessible option for golfers connected to Malaysia's public service sector.

Getting there
Most international visitors arrive via Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KUL), roughly an hour southeast of the capital, before navigating the city's efficient highway network northwest toward the verdant fringes of the Federal Territory. Subang Airport (SZB), once the capital's main gateway and now a hub for turboprops and private aviation, sits considerably closer for those arriving by charter. The drive into the Kelab Golf Perkhidmatan Awam unfolds as a gradual retreat from Kuala Lumpur's dense urban core, trading glass towers and elevated expressways for quieter residential enclaves and pockets of preserved tropical forest that hint at the lush, rolling terrain awaiting within the club's gates.
