Description
The Singapore Island Country Club (SICC)
As Singapore’s oldest and most distinguished golf club, The Singapore Island Country Club (SICC) holds a prominent place in the nation’s sporting history. Founded in 1891, SICC is more than just a golf club — it’s a cornerstone of Singapore’s golfing legacy. Nestled within the lush Central Catchment Nature Reserve, the club offers a serene yet elite setting where tradition meets world-class golf.
SICC is home to five 18-hole golf courses spread across two locations: Bukit and Island. The club’s multiple layouts — the Bukit, Island, and New Courses (comprising the Forest, Millennium, and Peirce nines) — provide a variety of golfing experiences for players of all skill levels. From storied championship layouts to modern redesigns, each course is maintained to the highest standard, reflecting SICC’s commitment to quality and heritage.
Course Layouts & Highlights
Bukit Course
A beloved classic, the Bukit Course is a par-72 layout measuring 5,731 meters. It is a true test of traditional golf design with narrow tree-lined fairways and subtle elevation changes. Its reputation for difficulty and prestige has earned it the honor of hosting numerous national tournaments, including the Singapore Open in the past.
Island Course
Set against picturesque water features and rolling greens, the Island Course delivers a more open and scenic round. Slightly longer than Bukit at 5,945 meters, this par-72 course provides risk-reward challenges, particularly on its water-lined holes. It's favored for its beautiful setting and dynamic shot values.
New Course (Forest, Millennium & Peirce Nines)
Designed for modern play, the New Course is composed of three interchangeable nine-hole loops. Whether playing Forest-Millennium, Peirce-Forest, or any other combination, golfers can expect a variety of layouts with elevation changes, fairway contours, and challenging green complexes. This 27-hole section of the club is ideal for golfers who enjoy variety and technical course design.
Signature Holes Include
- Bukit Course, Hole 4 – A tight par-4 demanding precision off the tee, framed by mature trees and elevation changes.
- Island Course, Hole 17 – A par-5 with a dramatic water hazard and a demanding approach, especially in tournament settings.
