Sentosa Golf Club

The Tanjong Course at Sentosa Golf Club occupies the southern portion of Sentosa Island, a resort destination just off Singapore's main island. Originally designed by Frank Pennink and opened in the 1970s, the course underwent significant renovation by Chris Pitman to modernize its layout and playing characteristics. The course shares the island setting with its companion Serapong Course, and both layouts have evolved considerably from their original designs to meet contemporary tournament standards and accommodate Singapore's tropical climate and terrain. The routing works across relatively modest elevation changes typical of the island's geography, with holes framed by mature tropical vegetation and occasional views toward the surrounding waters and Singapore's skyline. The layout features strategic bunkering and water hazards that require careful course management, particularly in the humid conditions that characterize play year-round. Pitman's renovation updated green complexes and hazard placement to challenge modern equipment while maintaining playability for the club's diverse membership. Sentosa Golf Club serves both as a private club and a venue that welcomes visiting golfers, reflecting Singapore's position as a regional golf destination. The Tanjong Course, while less prominent in tournament history than the Serapong layout, provides a complementary test and contributes to the club's reputation as one of Singapore's premier golf facilities. The island setting offers a distinct environment removed from the urban density of central Singapore, with clubhouse amenities that reflect the club's role in the city-state's golf culture.
