If you think your fees are expensive..........

At present I'm in Singapore with work and going from the hotel to the facility each day I pass what looks to be a very nice course. So with this in mind I wondered what the fees night be - check out the link, current exchange rate is approx 2 singapore dollars to the pound.

£12,000 a year..?

Still cheaper than Loch Lomond

Nice looking course though.

Apparently its one of the more reasonable courses as far as the fees are concerned. Makes my £800 a year seem like loose change.

I assume that land is extremely expensive in Singapore?

Many people that get assigned to work over there agree local golf course membership as part of their relocation package. Large corporates pay for it, understanding they are changing an individuals circumstances and want to ensure they have the same quality of life. In these cases £12K is nothing.

Yes that would be an understatement. The locals tell me if you want to play golf as a normal working man you go across to Malaysia to play at reasonable rates.

I did say before you went it was ferkin expensive! The European tour play one of their weeks in Singapore on Sentosa island.
Did you see the floodlit course in it's full glory yet?

Saw it for the first time last night whilst passing over the flyover to Marina Bay. It reminds me a bit of Dubai - 24hour golf what we need in the UK, no more putting out in the dark if you,ve been stuck behind a slow 4 ball - if only!
