Singapore: Sentosa Golf Club’s (SGC) Serapong Course has been named the World’s Best Golf Course at the World Golf Awards.

The Singapore venue is the first golf club in Asia to win the accolade which has previously been claimed by Augusta National Golf Club, Shinnecock Hills Golf Club, the Old Course at St Andrews and Carnoustie Golf Links.

At the awards ceremony in Abu Dhabi, the Serapong Course also retained its titles as the Best Course in Singapore and Best Course in Asia.

“It is truly an honour and a source of great pride to see The Serapong and Sentosa Golf Club being recognised as the best, not only in Singapore, but also in Asia and the world,” said Andrew Johnston, General Manager and Director of Agronomy at SGC, a Facility Member of the Asian Golf Industry Federation.

“It is testament to the dedication and hard work of our entire team and their relentless pursuit of excellence.

“This recognition reinforces our commitment to delivering an exceptional golfing experience to our members and guests. The back of the house work we have dedicated to the working culture of the team transcends into great golf, but more important great memories.

“Over the years, Serapong has risen to global prominence, hosting prestigious events and attracting golfers from around the world.

“One memorable experience was hosting the inaugural LIV Golf Singapore presented by Resorts World Sentosa. This was a milestone for the Club, showcasing our ability to organise high-profile events and cementing our status as a championship venue.”
