Golf Courses

Check the guidelines for golf courses

Last updated on 8 June 2026

Golf courses may vary in size from a 9-hole, 18-hole to 36-hole course. They may be a public or private golf course. Most of them would have facilities for a driving range, a clubhouse, chalets, guesthouses, other ancillary recreational facilities and limited commercial uses. The ancillary and limited commercial uses may be considered subject to the following requirements:

Guest Houses or Chalets

Chalets and guest houses are accommodation facilities provided within the golf courses. They shall not exceed 30% of the total proposed GFA or 10,000sqm, whichever is the lower.

These facilities may be subject to SLA levying Land Betterment Charge, where applicable.

Commercial Uses

Commercial uses such as restaurants, bars and lounges, outdoor refreshment areas, canteens, saloons and pro shops shall not exceed 30% of the total proposed GFA or 4,000sqm, whichever is lower.

SLA may assess such commercial uses based on Group A (Commercial) rate for the purpose of computing Land Betterment Charge, where applicable.

Subdivision

Land or strata-subdivision is not allowed for golf course developments, including any allowable commercial and ancillary guest house/chalet facilities.
