The Taiping Golf Club was established in 1885 as the oldest golf club in Malaysia and Southeast Asia.

Long before modern skyscrapers dominated the Malaysian horizon, the game of golf found its first footing in Taiping. Established in 1885 as an eleven-hole course, the Taiping Golf Club holds the historic title of the oldest golf club in Southeast Asia. Though reports suggest it has sadly closed its gates, its founding marked the true dawn of golf's long journey through the tropical landscapes of the peninsula. It was a humble, quiet beginning.
