About The Mines Resort & Golf Club
The Mines Resort & Golf Club in Seri Kembangan, Selangor, lies about 15 kilometers south of central Kuala Lumpur. Robert Trent Jones II designed the 18-hole parkland course.
- Fairways rest on about a foot of sand, which helps the course drain during heavy monsoon rain.
- The course sits on a former tin-mine site and has a lake.
- Golf carts are included in the round, and a driving range is available for warming up.
- Restaurants are part of the resort, so a round can end with a meal on the property.
History of The Mines Resort & Golf Club
The site was the world's largest open-cast tin mine before it became a resort. The club hosted the 1999 World Cup of Golf, won by Tiger Woods, and it has staged events on the Asian Tour. The Women's World Cup of Golf was also held here.
