As the course is located near the sea, golfers can have their game and enjoy the sea breeze, which presents additional challenge. In a bid to attract members, many golf and country clubs in Singapore are affiliated to other golf clubs in the region. This allows members the opportunity to play in a different terrain and bigger courses. Besides facing competition from the region, some town and country clubs face a threat from hotels which are extending their health club facilities to the public. They are invited to join the health club and enjoy the use of the swimming pool, tennis courts, and gymnasium.
Some hotels even offer free parking besides discounts at the food and beverage outlets, and rooms.
Increasingly, many companies are subsidising the club subscriptions of their executives. Depending on the subsidy, these executives are free to select clubs that best suit their needs. Some companies, however, limit their choices by providing a list of approved clubs. With more people purchasing condominiums, clubs face dwindling membership and demand. Since residents have to pay a monthly maintenance fee, they prefer to enjoy the facilities at their doorstep.
