The New Club, Taiping

The New Club, Taiping (4 February, 2006)


New Club Taiping (GPS: 4.85709, 100.74585) is one of the oldest clubs in Malaysia. It was established in 1892 by European members of the Perak Club, a now defunct club that was founded even earlier, in 1885. The site of the New Club dates back to 1894 (which is why the date on the interpretive plaque mentions 1894), and was inaugurated by the Sultan of Perak, Raja Sir Idris Mersedil Aathim Shah.

The New Club holds the distinction of having the first golf course in the Federated Malay States, and the second oldest golf course in Southeast Asia.

About this website

Dear visitor, thank you so much for reading this page. My name is Timothy Tye and my hobby is to find out about places, write about them and share the information with you on this website. I have been writing this site since 5 January 2003. Originally (from 2003 until 2009, the site was called AsiaExplorers. I changed the name to Penang Travel Tips in 2009, even though I describe more than just Penang but everywhere I go (I often need to tell people that "Penang Travel Tips" is not just information about Penang, but information written in Penang), especially places in Malaysia and Singapore, and in all the years since 2003, I have described over 20,000 places.

While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware. Nevertheless, I hope that what I have described here will be useful to you.
