Golf in Singapore

With just a handful of golf courses in Singapore, it may not seem the best golf destination in Asia, but it’s quality, not quantity that counts when golfing in Singapore:

There are some things to keep in mind when golfing in Singapore. Most of the Singapore golf clubs and courses have a dress code that requires collared t-shirts with trousers or short pants. Proper Singapore golf shoes should also be worn. However, be aware that some clubs may not allow spiked shoes on the course. If you need a caddie or a golf buggy, they can be hired at reasonable rates from most clubs. For your own convenience, try to confirm a tee off time before going to the club as a competition or routine maintenance may be in progress. Most Singapore golf clubs are well-equipped with lockers, showers, changing rooms, as well as dining and entertainment outlets.

Tee off, anyone? With perfect weather nearly all year round, Singapore is the ideal destination for golf. Organisers hold international Asia golf tournaments here, such as the Caltex Singapore Masters. With superb golfing facilities and an extensive selection of clubs – some of which have signature courses of their own – you’ll be spoiled for choice on our beautiful fairways. You need not worry about your handicap either, as most courses have multiple tee off positions. You can play golf in Singapore and throughout Asia at almost any time of the day and even at night! – as some courses are open for play in the evenings. Golf Singapore, an excellent choice for your golf travels through Asia.
