For homeless club members, please
don’t be so demanding, otherwise all golfing cardholders will be barred to enjoy the privileges. I am a golfing cardholder too, I appreciated those golf
clubs allows us to play. Cheers!!

fros, felt exactly same… Like they were hating any customers… More work for them etc.

And Glenmarie is now open to guests (at least I went there without even knowing any names of any members , so you should try… If the pricing doesn’t scare you off. I have to admit it was pricy for me too, since it costs the same there as the average costs in European courses and then there was the caddy tip on top of that… So in the end it was big lump of cash gone. The course was so great and I had so much fun that I would say it was ALMOST worth it.

Well, played in BKGCC last December and have to agree on the bad service. Well, the service in the F&B area were not bad, but others (registration, bag drop, etc) was really bad. Its as if the staffs there are mad at us for coming thus they have to work.
As for Glenmarie, I think you’re able to play there if ur an SSG Links card member. However, its only applicanle on weekdays, and they still cut ur throat (at RM 160) for it…

I think Glenmarie is for member guest only? Maybe the rules have changed, even if not, I got a feeling they might slaughter us with a steep price. I’d love to play there too…as for the single person rule, some clubs unfortunately have this..same reason why some crap stinks and some don’t…can’t explain it, but I agree, we generally lump any clubs that forces us to do something we don’t like, as crap that stinks. Unless of course it’s a weekend or the course is jammed up. A simple call should resolve the matter, but BK has bad rep for bad service.

Welcome to Malaysia golf!!

Tried to play here just today – after reading this great review. It just happened to be one of the 4 most closest golf courses on location where I am currently visiting Malaysia… But to the point – the service of this place. That’s really something – in the ugly side.

Firstly, when trying to call and ask about anything special about the club & services, I get someone being a “smart Alec” and also hanging up before the matter is really handled. I thought that what the heck, it’s only 17km, I shall drive there and ask myself if I can play there or not (and if there is rental clubs etc.).

Result? Well, there was rental clubs – but I needed RM100 cash deposit. Not very handy for a foreign dude like me who has mainly cards and only RM90 in the pocket. But that was topped by a strange rule (that they should mention clearly in their website!) that minimum 2 persons can play. So teaming me up with some other groups that are coming that day – well, I wouldn’t mind… But it would have meant that the group was okay also?

So the whole process got just way too complicated and I might have been waiting there half the day without getting to play… Nope, I just left. What a shame, the golf course itself looked tempting.

Final feedback… Why don’t you have any review on Glenmarie Golf? There is 2 times 18 holes, and at least my experience there was awesome. Registration happened easily, no fancy-pancy stuff, no needing to fill in any strange registration cards like it seems to be idea in some courses in Malaysia etc. And everything went smoothly, can choose also if want to use trolly or buggy, because I prefer to walk my way – using buggies is for lazy asses – that’s the attitude in the country where I come from, and even if it might be like in sauna here in Malaysia, I am still keeping that attitude.

So it would be great if you could add these little details in the reviews… Like can solo person go and play. Can play without annoying caddies or not. And also is it trolly and/or buggy course etc.

Thanks for the great site, best I have seen of Malaysian golf courses.

just played here yesterday.
1. still no service at the bag drop. the atendents pretend you are not there. but if you wait they will eventually come over to collect yr golf bag.
2. greens 1 – 10 are still horrible to putt. they forgot to further maintain the greens after hollow tining & aeration.
3. all the fairways are brown & dry & have very good roll.

I played few times recently at BKGCC and i think they are good, the service – good, most of the staffs are friendly enough, food & drinks are delivered quite fast – which i think very important ( few minutes from order time ), the course is ” user friendly ” and the maintenance also good, i think it is a good course, there have more facilities coming up….. so i decided to buy a membership… ha ha.

They always seem to have some temporary green! It’s like Tasik Puteri lar…

But yeah it’s a very generous course…recommended for the mid – high handicappers..

Just played at bukit Kemuning & must say the course was better than expected. We enjoyed the big fairways and were surprised with the greens speed. Only thing was they had 2 temporary green. Clubhouse quite nice, and saw they redoing their swimming pool and building some other extension. Saw a cool army camouflage buggy and a 4 wheel bike too! Very cool!
