Founded in 1864, the Penang Turf Club is also the oldest of the three turf clubs in Malaysia. The early Penang racecourse was situated along Macalister Road from 1869 until 1939 when it moved to its new premises at Batu Gantong.

The sleek and modern three-storey grandstand gives an unobstructed view of the racing action. In 1978, an extension was built adjacent to the existing grandstand, bringing the Club’s capacity to 14,000.
