From the North-South Highway, north of Kuala Lumpur, take the Rawang exit and initially follow direction PTGC (Perengsang Templer Golf Club). Follow PTGC until you see turning on left to TPCC (Templer Park Country Club).
Templer Park
Templer Park Country Club: It's not just the layout's iconic limestone hill (Bukit Takun/Takun Hill) that creates a special feel to Templer Park. Sato and Ozaki's excellent design, especially the back-nine, also has a lot to commend it. Add in top quality green-keeping and a comfortable Japanese style clubhouse, and most of the ingredients are in place for a challenging and enjoyable round at one of KL's top golf venues.
The flatter and less imposing front-nine will acquaint you with Ozaki's stylish earthmounding and bunkering, which provide good definition to the holes, helped by a light scattering of trees.
The generally good-width fairways are complemented by others made tighter by occasional water hazards and OB, ensuring the need for accuracy from the tee. Good quality approach work is always needed to avoid the prodigious greenside bunkering.
The more undulating back-nine starts from the highest part of the course, with wonderful views onto the surrounding jungle-clad hills. The 13th and 14th, both par-4s played in a fairly open environment, will give you a chance to draw breath before commencing the tough closing stretch. The second half of the wonderful par-5 15th plunges downhill towards the green, bordered on the right by thick jungle, with much tall bamboo in evidence.
After a blind drive at the par-4 17th, Ozaki ensures you get a good look at the 18th from the tee. The backdrop is the ever-present Bukit Takun, while in front of you is a substantive carry over water, and plenty of bunkering defending the nicely elevated green. If you are in the Kuala Lumpur area, make sure Templer Park is somewhere near the top of your list of places to play.
Visitors welcome on weekdays and weekend afternoons. Front-nine is floodlit for night golf.
Must book in advance. Handicap required

Bukit Takun, which translates as Takun Mountain, is part of a Malaysia's range of limestone hills and mountains formed over a million years ago. Templer Park Country Club (TPCC) is not to be confused with its near neighbour, Peransang Templer Golf Club (PTGC).
Templer Park has hosted many top-level tournaments, including the Malaysian Open on three occasions (see our Tournaments section >by Venue >Templer Park).

Presidents Cup: Geoff Ogilvy’s International Team take on Brandt Snedeker’s USA Team at the revered Medinah Country Club, near Chicago. The Internationals are trying to halt a run of 11 consecutive American wins. (Sept 24-27).
French Open: Continental Europe’s oldest national championship, dating from 1906, is once again staged on the Albatros Course at Le Golf National, near Paris. Defending champion is America’s Michael Kim. (Sept 24-27).
Our visit last month included two rounds at Golf de Chantilly, one of France’s most prestigious clubs.
It offers two superb layouts: Le Vineuil, a five-star championship course with a rich history, and Longères, an excellent four-star course that provides a strong and enjoyable test.
The wider Paris region offers plenty more. Courses such as Fontainebleau, Golf de Saint-Germain, and several other top-rated layouts make this area one of Europe’s most rewarding golf destinations, offering a mix of woodland, heathland, and parkland designs.
