Singapore
There are thirteen Golf Courses in Singapore Including Country Clubs & Driving Ranges .

It ’ s common knowledge that most country clubs have special rates for members , but Marina Bay Golf Course is the only public 18- hole course on the island , meaning you won ’ t have to fork out extra for non-membership prices . There are several world-class courses that have played host to multiple international events including Sentosa Golf Club and Laguna National Golf and Country Club .
