City Golf

City Golf, barely six months old, is Malaysia’s first indoor golf venue. It is ideal for corporate events and lazy golfers who prefer not to go without a beer for too long. They can now negotiate one of the 50 courses available at any of Golf City’s four simulator bays while staying within touching distance of a well-stocked bar and restaurant.

Although it is bright and garish, much as you would expect of any sports bar, there are plenty of comfortable cushions, smart tables and even a balcony with a scenic view of the Bangsar surroundings. The main projector screen and TVs dotted around help ensure that you are kept up to date with the latest sporting news.

The highlight though, for someone who is not the biggest fan of the ancient game, is the excellent café food that they serve. There are no fancy steaks or dainty sushi rolls here, just old-fashioned burgers, pizzas, pastas, sandwiches and finger food – all done to a very high standard. This is supposed to be fuel for hungry golfers after all.

As unlikely as it sounds, the pizzas here are excellent. The rocket, feta and walnut pizza (RM26) is amongst the best in the neighbourhood and possibly the city. The thin crust, cheesy-creamy topping and tasty yeasty dough make it as good a pizza as can be experienced.

You wouldn’t be disappointed either with the chef’s burger (RM23). Your preferred temperature is actually jotted down, always a good sign that the kitchen takes their burgers seriously. The patty was juicy and delicious while the bun was moist, not dry and stale, which is a problem too often encountered. The fries need a bit of work but overall it was a very good burger.

The spaghetti meatball (RM22) had pasta cooked perfectly al dente and was topped with five rather generously sized meatballs. They were a tad tough to the bite but it was comforting to know that they were not riddled with fat, which explains their rather firm texture.

There is also a decent selection of drinks with reasonably priced bottles of wine and jugs of beer. Overall, for a more unusual night out, City Golf certainly fits the bill. Thankfully, for non-golf fans, the food is also very good.
