GOLF The Serapong
The Serapong course is well-known as the battlefield for the prestigious Singapore Open (2005 - 2019). Opened in 1982, the course initially was the creation of world-renowned golf course designer Ronald Fream. In 2006, it underwent a S$12 million revamp helmed by the Bates Golf Design Group which incorporated modern technology with the addition of SubAir, PermOPore an enhanced irrigation system, and more. The re-design creatively produced enormous greens and tees with classic contouring, the new enhanced bunkering and playing strategy now defines the Sarapong in its World- Class Tournament foundation. The overall results propelled the Serapong in its world rankings. The course now reveals fast and more challenging greens, trademark mounds and contours, mammoth lakes with stone-lined walls all complementing the breathtaking scenery of the Singapore skyline making for an exquisite game like no other.
The New Tanjong
The New Tanjong Course is uniquely set against the Singapore Straits with views of metropolitan Singapore all round. Inspired by iconic sandbelt golfing experiences, the New Tanjong Course asserts a unique personality with large bunkers rarely seen in Asia, offering players the challenge of playing on a course inspired by the style of renowned golf course architect Alister MacKenzie. With two standout areas at the Clubhouse and historic ‘Pyramid’ halfway house, the New Tanjong Course will surely evoke fond memories, long after the rounds are played.

environment, both on and off the course. The implementation of measures like these will be central to the club’s new environmental campaign, GAME ON, which was launched at the 2020 SMBC Singapore Open, and will act as Sentosa’s answer to climate change. It aims to unite the game’s key stakeholders with the wider golfing community to implement new modern processes to the betterment of the environment. The campaign aims to encourage golf clubs worldwide to accept the GAME ON agronomic and operational model and introduce new environmental measures to help reverse climate change. The club’s programme and efforts will be looked at in depth, via a free downloadable toolkit, to help other clubs to make an impact on the world’s biggest issue and reduce their own carbon footprint and become environmentally sustainable. The toolkit will support, and point clubs to, The R&A’s agenda and its Golf Course 2030 initiative, which will also unite industry stakeholders to agree a roadmap that secures optimal golf
course conditions and playability for current and future generations by addressing climate change concerns.
Do you and your staff attend industry shows, seminars, demo days, road shows?
We have staff who attend seminars, as well as myself; and I normally speak at somewhere around ten industry shows annually to help share how Sentosa Golf Club drive tournament conditioning, how we continue to invest in climate change, but also do not sacrifice anything in our desire to be in tournament condition 365 days a year.
We believe that our people
are the most important piece of equipment. Therefore, we spend a lot of time making sure that we are healthy, mentally strong and all
prepared to support each other to give 100% every day
