Kranji
Sanctuary Golf Course
Finally the wait is over! The
long anticipated opening of the second 9-hole of Kranji
Sanctuary Golf Course is finally over. The full 18 holes will be
fully operational with effect from 9 Nov 2004.
Booking for weekday slots is
opened on 2 Nov, while booking for the weekend slots (13 &
14 Nov) starts on 5 Nov. With the full operation of the 18
holes, the current maintenance day on Tuesday will be moved to
Monday. However, one 9-hole will still remain in operation on
maintenance day.
 The
course is designed with the emphasis of conservation and the re-creation of natural habitats. A unique feature of the golf course is that it
provides public access via a nature trail to designated bird-watching sites.
This 18-Hole Gary Player course spans 6400m. Large stretches of
swampland in its natural state are preserved and let untouched,
with new ponds, marshes and waterbodies added as an integral
part of the course.
These are evident from the moment
you tee-off at the first hole. Just off to the right of the
fairway is a pond, actually part of the preserved swampland. And
as you move on hole-by-hole, you will notice more ponds,
reservoir, marshlands and native trees and plants around the
golf course.
Kranji Sanctuary Golf Course was not only designed as a golf
course to satisfy the hunger of golfers, but also a sanctuary
for flora and fauna. With all the preservation carefully planned
and carried out, it is envisaged that in the long term, the
microclimates will bring back wildlife indigenous to the area.
Over 48 species of birds were recorded during an ecological
assessment conducted by NSS in Aungust 2000. Of these, 15
species including the grey herons found at Kranji, are breeding
within or in close proximity to the course.
"Being the first golf club in Singapore and second in South East Asia to receive the
Certified Audubon Cooperative Sanctuary
award, as well as the Environmental Stewardship Award from 1999 to 2001 for our conservation efforts at Changi, NSRCC would like its new golf course at Kranji to bear the same hallmark," said
Mr Tang, GM, NSRCC.
With the picture of all the 18-hole, hope you find it useful to
navigate around the golf course and make that par. See you at
KSGC!
