The history of Royal Selangor began when several coffee planters decided to establish a golf club in Kuala Lumpur. On Friday the 13th of January 1893, they called for a meeting through a notice in the Selangor Journal; this brief notice constituted, for all practical purposes, the birth notice of the Selangor Golf Club. In 1920 the club took up residence at its present site, having been forced to move from the original Petaling Hill site. By 1931 the club could boast 36-holes, laid out as the Old and New courses. In 1963 Selangor Golf Club received its 'Royal' designation from His Majesty the Yang DiPertuan Agong, the DYMM Tunku Syed Putra Ibni Al-Marhum Syed Hasan Jamallulail, the Raja of Perlis Indera Kayangan. With the conferment the Club was renamed The Royal Selangor Golf Club. Royal Selangor hosted the inaugural Malaysian Open, and become the home of the Malaysian Open for many years after that (see Tournaments section - by Venue).
