A PASSION FOR PERFECTION Sentosa Golf Club (SGC) is one of Singapore and Asia’s most established golf clubs, showcasing two world-class championship golf courses alongside excellent practice facilties and a contemporary clubhouse. Throughout the last few years, the Club has created a philosophy; a mandate to progress, innovate and push the boundaries of success to create the best possible experience for their members and guests.

As part of this philosophy to create new boundaries for success, Sentosa Golf Club recently underwent an extensive renovation of their two championship courses – The Serapong and The Tanjong – to enhance the overall playing strategy of the courses and elevate them to a new level on the world stage. Improvements to a number of important areas including the bunkers, tee boxes, fairways, and greens, have continued to highlight The Serapong’s key characteristics with fast and challenging greens, as well as trademark

contours that have made it one of the region’s most challenging courses.

Supported by their ownership group, the Sentosa Development Corporation (SDC), the Club continues to set the benchmark for course conditioning in Singapore and never ceases to give up on its quest to find perfection. The Club is ambitious and hungry to drive the standards of innovation and produce an experience that is beyond the best imaginable.

Since the launch of #KeepItGreen, the Club’s first ground-breaking sustainability campaign, in 2018, a number of environmentally-friendly initiatives have been installed on-site to raise awareness for how golf clubs can help play their part to tackle climate change, in addition to reducing their own overall carbon footprint.

In 2020, the Club launched a second sustainability campaign, GAME ON, designed to unite the game’s key stakeholders with the wider golfing community to implement new modern processes for the betterment of the environment. Most recently, Sentosa become the world’s first golf club to join the United Nation’s Sports for Climate Action Framework; an initiative aimed at supporting and guiding sports organisation and their communities on a path to achieving the global climate goals set out by world leaders in the Paris Agreement; as well as the first golf club in the world to commit to becoming carbon neutral by 2022 by setting aside contributions from golf rounds to purchase certified carbon offsets.
