Royal Sungei Ujong Club (GPS: 2.73016, 101.94524) is a country club in
Seremban, Negeri Sembilan. It is located along Jalan Dato Kelana Makmor. Established by British colonialists and planters in 1887, it is the second oldest country club in the country after the
Royal Selangor Club. The club was originally located along Bathurst Road, which is now known as Jalan Datuk Hamzah. The British Resident of Sungei Ujong is traditionally appointed as its club president.
Today the Royal Sungei Ujong Club occupies the former Istana Hinggap, which was the home of His Royal Highness, Tuanku Abdul Rahman, the first monarch of Malaysia. The club was bestowed the royal status by Tuanku Jaafar in 2002. His son Tuanku Imran was born in that building.
