Miri Golf Club (MGC) / Kelab Golf Miri (KGM) is located at the Miri Peninsula. The Golf Club has a long history - in the days of oil & gas boom, with many expatriates flowing in from the Netherlands and England, Miri Golf Club was established as early as 1910 to cater for recreation. The first 6 holes of the existing course were constructed in 1924 by Sarawak Oilfield Limited, the forerunner of Sarawak Shell.
Nowadays Miri Golf Club has a membership of over 1,000 members.
The 18-hole course is built on flat land bordering beautiful white sandy beaches washed by the gentle waves, shaded by tall casuarina trees. The club features its own swimming pool, restaurant, pool / billiard room, and other facilities.
