Penang Turf Club

#summervacay The Penang Turf Club was once a cornerstone of horse racing culture in Malaysia—but as of mid-2025, it's no longer operating and held its final race on 31 May 2025, ending a 161-year legacy. Historic Legacy: Established in 1864, it was the oldest turf club in Malaysia and one of the oldest in Southeast Asia. Prime Venue: Located on an 81-hectare site at Batu Gantong in George Town, it featured a 1,900 m racetrack, a 3‑storey grandstand seating up to 14,000 spectators, and a unique 9‑hole golf course within the grounds. #couplestrip #travel
