Singapore Loses Last 18-Hole Public Golf Course to Redevelopment
- Marina Bay course closes to make way for other developments
- Expats turn to cheaper foreign venues as local options dwindle
Singapore closes its last public 18-hole golf course this weekend, with the Marina Bay site overlooking the financial hub’s skyline succumbing to the government’s drive to redevelop land.
Opened less than 18 years ago, the course hosted its final rounds for the public on Saturday as it joins others in Singapore that have closed or shrunk in recent years. Only one public course remains, a nine-hole venue in the north of the city-state.
