Can I play Sentosa Golf Club (The Serapong)?
Yes, mostly on weekdays — Sentosa is a private members' club but it releases a limited number of visitor tee times, chiefly Monday to Friday, on its championship Serapong course. Visitors book directly with the club or through a golf concierge, and weekend visitor access is very restricted (typically as a member's guest). It is the priciest and most exclusive public-access round in Singapore.
How to book: Contact the club's golf reservations or a recognised golf-tour operator to secure a visitor tee time; book well ahead, especially for the scarce weekend slots. Bring photo ID; a buggy is added to the green fee and caddies can be requested. Access is easiest on weekdays.
About Sentosa Golf Club (The Serapong)
The Serapong, originally designed by Ronald Fream in 1982 and given a multimillion-dollar redesign in 2006–07, is the flagship course at the private Sentosa Golf Club on Singapore's resort island. It hosts the SMBC Singapore Open and has staged the LPGA's HSBC Women's World Championship, wrapping around the waterfront with the city skyline as a backdrop. Though the club is members-only, it releases a limited number of visitor tee times — mainly weekdays — making it the marquee public-access round in Singapore. It is expensive, immaculately conditioned and heavily in demand, so booking ahead is essential.
Signature hole
The par-5 closing stretch runs hard along the water with the Singapore skyline behind — the tournament-famous 18th, a testing three-shotter over inlets, is one of Asia's most photographed finishing holes.
