National Service Resort & Country Club

The Air Force-Navy course at National Service Resort & Country Club occupies land in Singapore that reflects the nation's military heritage, with the club originally established to serve members of the armed forces and their families. Max Wexler, an American golf architect active in Asia during the mid-twentieth century, designed the layout during an era when Singapore was developing its golf infrastructure to serve both military and civilian populations. The course represents one of several Wexler projects in Southeast Asia during the 1960s and 1970s. The routing works within Singapore's characteristic tropical terrain, where designers contend with equatorial heat, monsoon rainfall patterns, and dense vegetation. Wexler's layouts in the region typically incorporated strategic bunkering and water management features necessary for year-round playability in such conditions. The course serves as one of two eighteen-hole layouts at the National Service Resort & Country Club facility, which maintains its connection to Singapore's military community while also accommodating civilian members. Singapore's limited land area and the course's military association give it a distinct place in the island nation's golf landscape. The club functions as both a recreational facility and a venue that honors the service traditions of Singapore's armed forces. Players encounter a layout shaped by tropical design considerations, where shade, drainage, and turf selection respond to the demanding climate that defines golf in equatorial Southeast Asia.
