Golf Courses[edit]
Originally opened in 1991, TPC Kuala Lumpur's two 18-hole championship golf courses, the Par 71 East and Par 72 West Courses had since undergone a total redesign. The revamped West Course reopened in 2009 and the East Course in 2010. TPC Kuala Lumpur's West Course completed another upgrade in August 2018. By end of 2018, seven Malaysian Opens and five CIMB Classic tournaments were held on TPC Kuala Lumpur's West Course.
International tournaments[edit]
TPC Kuala Lumpur has hosted several international championships, including the Sime Darby LPGA Malaysia on its East Course, and the CIMB Classic and Maybank Malaysian Open on the West Course. TPC Kuala Lumpur also played host for two women's international tennis tournaments: the 2016 BMW Malaysian Open and the 2017 ALYA WTA Malaysian Open.
