d'Tempat Country Club appears like a diamond in the rough come sundown. The development shines brightly due to its well-lit surrounding.
IF you are looking for a Seremban neighbourhood with conveniences and facilities within easy reach, consider Bandar Sri Sendayan, where its clubhouse forms the centrepiece of conducive family living.
The township is an integrated self-sustainable mixed-development that has a total acreage of 5,233 acres. This township is the flagship development of Matrix Concepts Group and is split into five unique and distinct sectors, which include residential and recreational sectors, commercial and institutional sectors, and a TechValley to attract foreign direct investment.
The residents of Bandar Sri Sendayan will be able to enjoy full-fledged, resort-like facilities via the d’Tempat Country Club, placed at the heart of the township. This clubhouse is a premier business and family-oriented club offering a wide range of complete facilities, including sporting, dining as well as cafes and M.I.C.E. facilities.

The clubhouse stands on a 6.33 acre plinth of land and houses an Olympic-sized swimming pool, splash pool and fun pool as well as a reflective pool, children wading pool with play station and water slides, four indoor badminton courts, two indoor tennis courts and two squash courts.
The clubhouse also houses a 10-lane bowling alley, indoor table tennis facilities, a fully equipped gym, an aqua gym, Jacuzzi, three meeting rooms, as well as a banquet hall equipped with a VIP Holding Room which can accommodate up to 900 people.
For patrons simply looking to relax and unwind, the clubhouse has a spa dubbed the Sompotan Spa. In addition, the clubhouse also has a children play room, a reading room, a mini theatre screening two movies a day and changing rooms equipped with their very own sauna and steam room.
The children wading pool with play station and water slides for the little ones to explore.
d’ Tempat is exclusively for member-use only and memberships are categorised into two packages namely, family and individual packages. The family package includes club membership for spouses and children below the age of 18 and is priced at RM2,120 per annum, while individual packages for persons above the age of 21 is RM1,060 per annum. Additional packages are available for member's children, parents, as well as parents-in-law. These packages are dubbed the junior package and senior citizen package, both priced at RM424 (prices are inclusive of 6% GST). All members are entitled to a term membership, which is to be renewed annually for a 360-day term.
This exclusive clubhouse was built by KW Associates Architects Sdn Bhd and focuses on a sunlight-rich and spatially-wide architecture. The clubhouse also focuses on exuding elegance as it is highlighted as one of the key catalysts for growth within the township and to build public confidence in the township, as well as the master developer.
The fully equipped gym is open to members and overlooks an Olympic sized swimming pool.
The clubhouse was built with the environment in mind as the large structure would otherwise hold a significant carbon footprint. To achieve this, the structure was built in accordance with the Malaysian Green Building Index (GBI) standards, which is part of Matrix Concept’s “Go Green” policy. Adding to that, the building was also certified and awarded the gold standard, under non-residential new construction (NRNC) category, by GBI Malaysia on November 6, 2013.
For hungry clubhouse patrons, d’Tempat offers a variety of Malaysian, as well as international cuisine, served in various food and beverage outlets. One can experience Japanese dining at The Haruta, Chinese specialties at The Blossom Palace, authentic Malaysian food in Paul’s Corner and enjoy the tranquil views of BSS at the newly-opened Florence Coffee.
The Haruta is a Japanese restaurant within d'Tempat Country Club offering a wide variety of Japanese cuisine.
Those looking to spend quality time with a group of friends can head over to the MOVIDA Kitchen+ Terrace where one can enjoy a good mix of contemporary music while relaxing by the poolside.
The d’Tempat Country Club within Bandar Sri Sendayan is strategically located near major highways, approximately 7km to North-South Expressway exits at the Seremban-Labu Toll and accessed to North-South Expressway Central Link (ELITE). Additionally the clubhouse is also easily connected via the Kajang-Seremban Expressway (LEKAS).
The banquet hall is massive as well as classy and can house up to 900 guests, perfect for holding elaborate events.
An upcoming highway, stretching from Senawang to Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA) namely the Paroi-Senawang-KLIA Expressway, will shorten the travelling time to KLIA and KLIA 2 from the township. Its accessibility will be further improved with a proposed high speed rail station in Seremban. If you like this neighbourhood, make Bandar Sri Sendayan your home.
