Tanah Merah CC
As one of the leading and most prestigious golf destinations in Singapore and the Asia region , Tanah Merah Country Club ( TMCC ) boasts two immaculate golf courses – Garden Course and Tampines Course which have been validated by the many accolades and awards garnered over the years . The fine fairways of TMCC golf courses have also been the welcome carpet that have beguiled golf greats , dignitaries , and celebrities . Since its official opening in 1984 , the Club has played host to several premiere events and have undergone redevelopments in recent times ( Garden Course 2019 by Robert Trent Jones II and Tampines Course in 2019 by Phil Jacobs ).
Marina Bay
The Marina Bay Golf Course opened in November 2006 as the first fully public course in Singapore and one of only a handful of links courses in Asia . The course is also the first to introduce the only par-6 hole on the island . Since then Marina Bay has garnered many prestigious awards including top three for the coveted categories of ‘ Best Course in Singapore ’, ‘ Best Value for Money Experience ’ and ‘ Best Public Golf Course in Asia Pacific ’ at the annual Asian Golf Awards . The 18-hole 7,101-yard par-72 course was designed by South African Phil Jacobs . Marina Bay Golf Course is unique in that it makes excellent use of the 85 deep British Isles-styled pot bunkers found scattered throughout the course .
Sentosa ( Serapong )
The Sentosa Golf Club , Serapong Course is a challenging par-72 and was awarded the ‘ Number 1 Championship Golf course in Asia ’ by Asian Golf Monthly in 2007 and ‘ Best Golf Course in Singapore ’ by Golf Digest in 2009 . It ranks number 79 among the world ’ s best golf courses , one of the top five championship courses in Asia , and home of the Singapore Open and has recently hosted LIV Singapore . Other features include fairway mounding , large lakes with stone-lined walls , and scenery of downtown Singapore . The Serapong Course is all about strategy with bunkering that frames the landing areas on most holes . Greens are also well guarded making for some tucked pin locations on the undulated complexes .
Keppel Club
With over a century of rich golfing heritage , Keppel Club will provide you with a unique golfing experience steeped in history . As one of the few courses located near the hustle and bustle of the city , a challenging and enjoyable time is just a stone ’ s throw away . Sime course is named after John M Sime , who served as the president of the Royal Singapore Golf Club in 1923 . The Sime course ’ s first nine holes play away from the Clubhouse , while its second nine mingle with the Bukit Course . In 2022 , Keppel Club engaged world-renowned South African Golf Course Designer , Phil Jacobs , to reinvent the Sime course . Some of the holes have steep undulating terrain while some are dogleg in shape , both of which are challenging to golfers as they are unable to see what lies ahead . The reverted bunkers are another obstacle that tests a golfer ’ s skill , especially when the ball lands near the wall of the deep bunkers .
