Playing in Singapore

Dear All,

I have sure these questions have been asked before but am just too lazy to search. Sorry

Question :

1) May I know if I wanted to play in Singapore. Which course is open to non member ?
2) Do I need a HCP to play in public course ?
3) It is truth that I need a 18 HCP before I can play from the blue tee in Singapore ?
4) Is it still cheaper to play during weekday compared to weekend, like most of the course I knew of ?

Thanks

Hi Bro,

Just trying to contribute of what I know so far.

1. OCC, Marina Bay GC and Jurong CC
2. No. you can use PC / Swing test if you don't have a valid handicap.
3. I believe that is the rule, but I depending on the course it might not be strictly enforced.
4. Yup much cheaper on weekday compared to weekend.

All mostly true, besides I don't think it's very fun to play off blue If your handicap is that high ?

If you were not a high handicapper, you would not have asked the question on 18-hdcp requirement to play blue tee. That's how people know your hdcp is probbaly higher than 18.

For certain course in singapore, I think all players in the flight must have hcp 18 or lower.

Yes, bro. you are correct. I am actually 28 HCP and still struggling how to swing but my questions was also due to some Indonesia friends that wanted to play in Singapore that asked me ( a Singaporean but do not know much about the country since not staying there for many years )

I c .. Thanks sandkie

Visitors can play at keppel and Sentosa.

Sentosa visitor (not guest) green fee is $450.

450 for a game at sentosa ? That is 25 dollars a hole. Assuming you play 100. Is 45 dollars a stroke. Wow. Hahaha

Ops wrong ... Should be 4.50 a stroke. Damn the 450 a game just threw me off.

those are weekend rates I guess ?
anyway on weekend any of the top courses will be easily 300++.

It does rather expensive to play in Singapore. I pay about less then sin$60 for weekday and less then sin$100 on weekend over here in Surabaya. Note to mention, the prices including golf cart and nice caddy ...

Yup weekend rate.

Yeah, playing in malaysia is prob a better idea if you have to pay for green fees.
