9 Best Golf Courses in Singapore
Where to Play Golf in Singapore
Singapore’s a great place to play golf. It’s sunny all year round, with lush greenery and world-class golfing facilities. Take your pick from large, well-equipped public courses or enjoy the more intimate atmosphere of country clubs and hotels. You could also make a quick weekend getaway to a neighboring country where most courses are large and affordable.
Most golf courses in Singapore have a dress code: collared trousers with trousers or short pants and golf shoes are required. Caddies or golf carts are usually available, and the courses are usually equipped with locker rooms and showers, as well as entertainment outlets, cafes, and restaurants. Golfing is highly popular in Singapore, so we advise you to make bookings well in advance.
