Golf, unlike most games that involve a ball, cannot and does not have a standardised playing area. Depending on where you are in the world, terrains are varied, and the difference in the nature of the courses is a key part of what makes the game exciting.

Singapore has its fair share of lush and panoramic golf courses. Below are a list of the some sprawling and stunning places you can go to play a long and leisurely game of golf. Image Credit: Sentosa Golf Club Facebook Page

Seletar

Seletar Country Club is a haven of peace and tranquillity set right in the heart of the countryside. With rolling acres of lush greenery, it is strategically located on a hill overlooking the Lower Seletar Reservoir and the Johor Straits.

Established circa 1930, Seletar Country Club has been distinguished as a wonderful mix of a fine private club and a leisure cluster rolled into one. Thus, it strives to protect and enhance the natural surroundings while continually becoming a home to one of the finest golfing, sports and social activities in the country. It has been designed and built to complement the eco-habitat of various species of flora and fauna. Aside from its highly-coveted club membership, 18-hole gem that presents infinite challenges, and a breathtaking view of serenity, Seletar Country Club is more than just a golf club. It also features a beautiful club house, private hilltop jacuzzi overlooking a beautiful landscaped swimming pool, dance studio, bowling centre, and an integrated sports and recreational complex complete with a gym and activity rooms. There is also an excellent Seletar Terrace and Seletar Tavern with sumptuous food and great music, set in a cosy atmosphere. For those who prefer a formal dining setting, the Eagle’s View provides fusion cuisine and a panoramic view of the environs.

Therefore, it no longer comes as a surprise why Seletar Country Club is the ultimate choice for locals and foreigners alike.

The Rebirth of the Seletar Golf Course 

Memorable landscapes with natural beauty 

We witnessed the rebirth of the sparkling new 18-hole gem in Seletar Country Club in April 2020, after an 18 months makeover. The immaculately groomed course has a unique British isle flavour that is also environmentally dramatic, with excellent attention to detail. Rolling acres of lush greenery are livened up with enhanced water features to add a touch of tranquillity and memorability.  

More water elements were incorporated to highlight the natural landscape while creating a relaxing atmosphere. Golfers can look forward to playing against the unique backdrop of the dramatic waterfall at the iconic Hole 7. Holes 3 and 15, two par-4 holes affectionately known as the Twin Jewels, was creatively designed to run parallel to each other. A water feature sitting behind the green at Hole 18 uplifts the spirits of golfers upon their triumphant return.  

Combining challenge and playability  

Emphasis on making the most of the natural undulating terrain gave birth to a course filled with tricks, yet breathtaking in its beauty. The new design creates many strategic options on how to approach each hole, based on golfers’ abilities or level of aggressiveness chosen. The golf course can be set up and presented in many different ways just by changing the tee and pin placement, and is sure to pose a challenge to golfers of all levels. It brings excitement to those who try to make par on the course, yet leaves room for others to delight in its beauty.  

Intelligent planning with sustainable maintenance 

Our use of one of the most advanced irrigation system in Asia allows for efficient water usage. Being the first golf course in Singapore to use the Zoysia Zeon turf grass will also  place us at the forefront of sustainable course maintenance well into the future, and ensure that we will be drought-resistant with efficient operating costs for many years to come. The new bunkers are even more aesthetically pleasing and equipped to keep moisture levels optimal, eliminating common maintenance and playability problems. 

Indeed, the new course is a distinguished step-up from the original Seletar course which was a result of the great vision of its founding members. Situated next to the tranquil locale of the Lower Seletar Reservoir, the clear glistening waters enhances the overall splendour of the course.

Be it for weddings, parties, corporate golf games, retreats, seminars, and other sporting activities, its facility and service offerings surpass all. Complementing the Club’s countryside charm is the legendary friendly Seletarian spirit. Whether you are a member or guest, the warmth and fellowship of Seletar members and staff awaits you!

Seletar Country Club is ‘Best Renovated Golf Course in Asia Pacific’ in the Global Golf Awards 2020!

Located strategically in the heart of town, Marina Bay Golf Course offers golfers great accessibility and a picturesque view of the city skyline, be it day or night.

The design of the par 72 championship course attempts to connect to the history of golf – traditional links of Scotland and the beginning of golf - with its few water hazards and in particular, its 91 pot bunkers.

These bunkers not only serve as one of our dramatic features, they are also geared to provide hours of challenges and excitement to golfers.

The signature holes of the quality course include the 651-meter par-6 4th hole and the par-3 13th, complete with island green design.
