Golf courses in and around Singapore

30th July 2019 by Expat Living 5 Min Read

https://expatliving.sg/the-cheapest-golf-courses-in-singapore/

Across Singapore, there are more than a dozen golf clubs, enjoyed by around 80,000 golfers. That means the country has more holes-per-mile than just about anywhere (we ought to get some sort of certificate for that). However, many of the courses require an expensive membership to play, which can be tough to justify, particularly if you’re new to the tee. But don’t fear, we’ve tracked down a number of cheap golfing options in and around Singapore, where you can shoot under par with going over budget.

Read on for all sorts of golfing bargains

PRICE RANGE: $25 – $100

Mandai Executive Golf Course

Opened in 1993, this is a 9-hole, par-29 public course located next to Upper Seletar Reservoir. There’s a variety of par 3s and par 4s of different lengths that make it great for beginners, or for those looking to improve their short game. It also has a 40-bay driving range.

Green fees
Weekdays: $25 (+GST)
Weekends and Public Holidays: $35 (+GST)

Upper Seletar Reservoir, Mandai Road Track 7 | 6456 6533

Changi Golf Club

Changi Golf Club has a long history, with its origins stretching back to RAF Changi military staff, who first built a basic course on the site in the 1940s. In 1971, the club was privatised, and the course has been upgraded continually since then. The eighth fairway was once listed in the Guinness Book of Records as the narrowest fairway in the world!

Green fees
Weekdays: Walk-in visitors can play 9 holes for S$48.15, and 18 holes for S$96.30
Weekends: Social members can play 18 holes for $90.95, after 4pm

Described as Singapore’s “friendliest” course, this par-34 9-hole course (formerly known as Green Fairways) in Bukit Timah is the island’s most centrally located course. It has a 66-bay driving range with a pro shop and on-site restaurants.

Green fees

It became an 18-hole course in 1977, before being fully refurbed – clubhouse and course alike – between 2010 and 2013. There’s a pro shop, a driving range and full facilities and F&B options for members.

Green fees

Opened in 2006, Marina Bay Golf Course was Singapore’s first 18-hole golf course open to the public, and the first to introduce a Par 6 hole on the island. It’s right in the heart of the city, with a picturesque view of the city skyline by day or night. Bring your sand wedge: there are 85 bunkers!

Green fees
Weekdays: Fees for visitors are $82.50 and $130 for 9 and 18 holes respectively

FURTHER AFIELD: Malaysia & Indonesia

You’ll also find a selection of well-priced courses just across Singapore’s border – both in Malaysia to the north, and via a boat ride to Indonesia to the south. So, grab some golfing mates and head off for a day away from the city. Try these for starters!

Royal Johor Country Club

This 18-hole championship course north of Singapore has hosted three Iskandar Johor Opens, with big names such Retief Goosen and KJ Choi among the winners. It’s possible to get to the course via public transport from Singapore, though obviously a car is more convenient for carrying clubs.
