The Lion City, much like Hong Kong, has a long and proud golfing history - but it has been the recent development of the island resort of Sentosa that has really put the city-state on the game’s global map. The island, billed as Asia’s favourite playground, boasts a variety of top-rate spas - including CHI, the Shangri-La’s holistic heaven - that cater for golfers who a drawn to the resort because of Sentosa Golf Club, a terrific facility that features two contrasting courses.
The Serapong Course, the home of the Singapore Open since 2005, just edges its older rival, the Tanjong, in terms of quality thanks to a 2007 renovation that focused on the re-contouring and conditioning of its playing surfaces.
