Why Bintan Is the Golf Weekend Every Singaporean Golfer Needs to Take

You have played Sentosa. You have done Changi. You know every corner of every course Singapore has to offer.

And every time you finish your round, pack your clubs into the car, and drive home through the same familiar roads, you feel it. That quiet itch. The one that says: there has to be more than this.

There is. And it is 60 minutes away.

The Moment the Ferry Docks

There is something that happens the moment you step off the ferry in Bintan. The air is different. Slower. The noise of the city — the notifications, the deadlines, the traffic, none of it followed you here.

You clear customs, step outside, and your transfer is already waiting. No scrambling for a taxi. No negotiating with a driver you found on the street. THK has arranged everything. Your driver knows where you are going. You settle into the seat, watch the island pass by through the window, and for the first time in weeks, you have absolutely nothing to organise.

That feeling, that exhale, is worth the price of the trip before you have even reached the hotel.

The Course That Changes What You Think Golf Can Be

Laguna Bintan Golf Club is not just a good course. It is the kind of course that makes you reassess every round you have ever played.

Designed by Greg Norman, the layout unfolds across 18 holes of immaculate, ocean-facing terrain. From the moment you stand on the first tee and see the fairway stretch out ahead of you — blue sky above, green grass below, and the glint of the ocean somewhere in the distance — you understand immediately that this is not a Sunday morning municipal round. This is golf as it was always meant to be played.

The greens are fast and true. The rough is honest. The course rewards thoughtful play and punishes carelessness, the way any great course should. And because you have an individual caddy walking every hole with you, you are never alone in figuring it out. Your caddy knows this course. Every slope. Every wind pattern. Every pin position that looks straightforward but isn't. Trust their reads and you will walk off the 18th feeling like you played the best round of your life.

The buggy carries you between holes through corridors of tropical trees, past water hazards that shimmer in the afternoon light, along stretches of the course where you can hear the ocean if the wind is right. There is no part of this round that feels routine. There is no hole you will want to rush through just to get it over with.

By the time you reach the back nine, you will have already decided you are coming back.

Two Nights That Belong to You

This package is built around three days. Day one and day three are yours completely free and easy, no agenda, no schedule to keep. Check in on day one and do exactly as much or as little as you want. Order room service. Sit by the pool. Call your playing partners and talk through tomorrow's strategy over a cold drink.

After your round on day two, the rest of the afternoon opens up the same way. The post-round hours are some of the best hours of any golf trip — the satisfying ache in your shoulders, the replaying of the shots that worked and the ones that didn't, the easy conversation that only happens between people who have just shared 18 holes together.

Breakfast is included both mornings. There is something quietly luxurious about starting a golf day with a proper sit-down meal, not a grab-and-go, not something eaten standing over a counter. You sit down, you eat well, and you go play.

The Details That Make the Difference

Great golf trips fall apart in the details. The transfer that didn't show up. The tee time that got moved. The caddy who didn't know the course. The scrambling and the logistics that turn a relaxing weekend into a stressful one.

None of that happens here.

THK Tour handles the full arrangement, your hotel, your tee time, your caddy booking, your buggy, your transfers between the hotel and the course. The only decision you need to make is which club to pull.

For groups of four or more, there is an additional SGD$5 discount per person. Bring your regular four-ball and the whole group benefits.

The package starts from SGD$470 per person. When you break that down across two nights of hotel accommodation with breakfast, a full 18-hole round at one of Southeast Asia's finest courses, an individual caddy, a sharing buggy, and all the transfers included, it is not a luxury price. It is simply the right price for what is delivered.

This Is the Round You Have Been Putting Off

Every golfer has a list of courses they want to play before they get too old to play them well. Laguna Bintan belongs on that list. And unlike Augusta or St Andrews, it does not require a flight, a fortune, or a two-year waiting list.

It requires a ferry ticket and a Friday afternoon.

The course is ready. Your caddy is ready. The fairway is yours.
