The golf club started off as the Diamond Bay Golf and Country Club... Subsequently, it was then run by the Majlis Perbandaran Teluk Intan before being turned over and run under the existing Management by a group of golfers...

The 18-holes par-72 course is rather flat with oil palm trees lining the fairways... Water comes into play in a number of holes but is not a great threat... The First Nine plays to 3,192yds from the blue tees while the Second Nine plays to 3,236yds... Course condition at time of play in Sept 2009 is fair and can be further improved... Some of the teeboxes are overgrown but the greens are quite well maintained...

Equipment: There is the normal man and lady changing room as well as a small golfers terrace for drinks and light meal... There is also a pro-shop within the rather spacious club house... Only turfmates are available for use of golfers...

The green fee for weekdays is RM26.50 (9-holes) and RM36.75 (18-holes)... Weekend green fee is RM42.00 (9-holes) and RM57.75 (18-holes)... Turfmate charges are RM12.60 (9-holes) and RM25.20 (18-holes)... All charges are nett of tax...

Kiung Chow Hoey Kwan
