The Top Golf Courses In Singapore
Anyone planning a business trip or a city visit in Singapore does not necessarily expect to be able to play some golf. We have good news: On Sentosa Island you will find 2 golf courses in Singapore – one of them is in the top 100 of the world and stands out with an impressive view to the harbor and the city.
A few words about Singapore
Singapore was a British colony in the 19th century and became an independent state in 1963. In recent decades, Singapore has developed into one of the richest countries in the world and already ranks 9th in the prosperity index. There are many reasons for this, but the following is important: the strong and continuously growing market economy, as well as the strict laws that ensure a lot of order. The success model: cleanliness, prosperity, diligence, efficiency and multiculturalism.
If you are looking for some peace and quiet or leisure activities, Sentosa Island offers a huge range of activities (the two golf courses in Singapore are also located on the island). It is quickly noticeable that the locals also like to spend a weekend here.

Our hotel recommendation – the Capella Singapore
On Sentosa Island there is the Capella Hotel, two restored Tanah Merah colonial bungalows from the 1880s, which have been extended by a modern part. The hotel is beautifully situated in the middle of gardens and parks surrounded by the sea. The two golf courses in Singapore are just a stone’s throw away.
Plenty of space and privacy
The hotel has some turnaround and offers direct access to the beach. The 112 rooms are the largest in Singapore and are offered in different classes (Garden Villas, Suites etc.). On request there is a free shuttle to the hotel room.
12’000m2 Spa
If you enjoy a massage after a round of golf, you’ve come to the right place. There are various massages and adventure rooms on offer.
To the golf course in 5 minutes
It is only a 5 minute drive from the hotel to the two golf courses in Singapore.
Notes
- There are no shuttles from the hotel to the golf course, a taxi must be ordered.
- Hotel rates per night in a double room incl. breakfast. Breakfast from 600,00 CHF
- With Singapore Airlines 40kg luggage can be combined (e.g. suitcase 20kg & golf luggage 20kg).
