Twenty-seven holes by the reservoir, and golf after dark.
Orchid Country Club, in Yishun in the north of Singapore, is one of the few private clubs on the island that sets out a clear route for visitors, with a published fee and a weekly booking window. It has 27 holes along the waterways of the Seletar reservoir, a two-level driving range of 160 bays, and something no other Singapore course offers: floodlit night golf. It has hosted the Singapore Open in 1999 and the Handa Singapore Classic in 2010 and 2011, so the conditioning is tournament-standard rather than municipal.
Orchid Country Club green fees and tee times.
Visitors book through the Golf Registration Counter at occgolfbooking@orchidclub.com, and the window is specific. Requests are taken on Thursdays between 12pm and 2pm for play in the following week, Monday to Sunday. Members book earlier in the week, so popular weekend times can go quickly. Morning 18-hole tee times run from 6.46am to 8.45am and afternoon ones from 12.01pm to 1.53pm. If you do not have a valid handicap, you must pass a Certification to Play test at the club before your round, which costs S$10.90 and remains valid for a month. Buggies are compulsory under the club’s general rules, so budget for one on every 18-hole round.

The round, in perspective.
The three nines are named after orchids, Aranda, Dendro and Vanda, and were designed with the guidance of the late Ong Teng Cheong, a former President of Singapore. Any two of the three combine into an 18-hole round, and the club publishes separate handicap tables for each pairing. The club’s course pages lay the holes out as A1 to A9, D1 to D9 and V1 to V9, so check which pairing you have been given when you book. One nine is closed for maintenance all day on Mondays, Tuesdays and Wednesdays, which narrows the choice on those days.

Make the trip work.
Night golf is the reason to choose Orchid over other Singapore options. Tee off between 4.34pm and 6.12pm, Tuesday to Friday, and you finish under the lights in the cooler evening air. The night supplement is S$27.25. The driving range has 80 sheltered auto-tee bays on its lower level and 80 manual bays above, and stays open until 11pm. Club rental is handled by the MST Golf shop at the range, on +65 6235 7840.
The club is in Yishun in northern Singapore, roughly 25 km from Changi Airport by road, or around half an hour by taxi outside rush hour. From the city centre allow a similar time. Grab and taxis are the practical choice with clubs; there is no direct rail link to the clubhouse.
The club’s website has a Stay section for rooms at the club itself, which suits golfers who want an early tee time or a late finish after night golf. Otherwise, most visitors stay in central Singapore around Marina Bay, Orchard Road or the river, which keeps evenings easy and puts Sentosa’s courses within reach for a second round.
Make a trip of it.
Sentosa Golf Club’s Serapong and Tanjong courses give a harbourside contrast at the other end of the island. From Tanah Merah ferry terminal you can cross to Batam or Bintan for cheaper resort golf the next day. Off the course, the Mandai wildlife parks, including Singapore Zoo and Night Safari, are a short drive west of Yishun.
Find your season.
Singapore is hot and humid all year, so plan around rain rather than temperature. The north-east monsoon brings the wettest weeks in December and January, while February is usually one of the driest and windiest months. Inter-monsoon periods in April–May and October–November tend to bring afternoon thunderstorms, and lightning warnings can suspend play.
Yes. Email the Golf Registration Counter during the Thursday window, 12pm to 2pm, to book for the following week. You will need a valid handicap or must pass the club’s Certification to Play test on the day.
