The Status of Golf Courses in Singapore

Are you a fan of golf? You should read more because this concerns you. There are golf courses here which are in the brink of oblivion. The government finally decided which golf courses to phase out. This move will make way for improvements or redevelopments. It is sad to let go some of the golf courses you have come to know but it is necessary.

There are fourteen private and three public golf courses here in Singapore. If golf courses are put together, they occupy about 1,500 ha of land which accounts for 2% of the entire Singapore. The government is very clear to state that some of the golf courses will be phased out for other uses. Here’s the status of some golf courses here in Singapore:

Changi Golf Club

The expiration of the lease of Changi Golf Club will be on December 31, 2021. The government already mentioned that a new lease will be offered and it will expire on December 31, 2040. The Club will live for many years.

Keppel Club

The expiration of the lease of Keppel Club will be on December 31, 2021. The government already mentioned that there will be no new lease for the club. The club will be converted instead.
