Golfing in Singapore - Where Should You Go?

When it's time to get your friends together and head out for a weekend of golf, you cannot go wrong by heading to Singapore. There are some great golf courses around the city, but the best place to go is Bintan Island. The island has many resorts where you can spend a night or two in complete luxury, but it is also home to two of the most spectacular golf courses in the country. No matter what your handicap may be or how long you have been playing golf, Bintan is the place to go for a golf outing in Singapore.

The tip of Bintan Island is covered by Bintan Resort, and there are other resorts and spas located all around this exclusive island. You can often get packaged deals that include a night or two at some of the better known resorts plus some golf time on the more elite golf courses of the island. These packages make it more affordable to visit this island, since the prices tend to be much higher than you will find with hotels and golf destinations in the Singapore mainland.

These packages are also valuable because they include assistance with getting from Singapore out to the island. You have to take a ferry out to Bintan Island and you have to be cleared with customs before you can check into your resort and get to the golf course for tee time. This can be a hassle for travelers trying to venture through the ferry and customs process on their own, but many travel packages will include assistance for travelers.

Services included in a package vacation deal will often include tickets for the ferry plus help transporting belongings to and from the resort and the ferry. Many packages will offer faster clearance through customs, which will save you tons of time standing in line waiting with everyone else. Packages make it easier to travel from Singapore to Bintan Island, but they also make it possible to golf at some of the most exclusive golf courses in Singapore at an affordable rate.

There are two golf courses on Bintan Island that golf enthusiasts dream of visiting:

• Jack Nicklaus Sea View Golf Course
• Ian Baker-Finch Woodlands Golf Course

Both of these courses were designed by pro golfers and were designed to give even professional players a bit of a challenge. They have challenging water and landscape features which clearly set them apart from any other golf course you have ever played on. Playing on these courses will be an experience that you never forget!

The best way to gain access to these elite courses is to purchase a golfing vacation package for a resort on Bintan Island. You can purchase a golfing package that gives you accommodation in a luxury resort with buffet breakfast and golf time on both of these courses. Many packages will also offer express passage through customs, two-way tickets for the ferry out to the island, and a golf cart to get around the course.

You may also get balls for the driving range to top off your golfing vacation.

There are a lot of places to golf in Singapore, but you cannot beat the challenging and scenic courses offered on Bintan Island. This is hands down the best place for a golfing weekend with friends.
