GRANDSTAND SHOWCASE

Porsche Singapore Classic presented Laguna National Golf Resort Club as an ideal choice for a tournament venue. Director of Golf Mark Bates lends some insights into what made it a resounding success.

What makes Laguna National such a great venue for the Porsche Singapore Classic?

Laguna National Golf Resort Club has a storied history in hosting major international golf competitions in Singapore, going back to the days of the Singapore Masters, which was first staged in 2002. The golf courses have always been kept to international championship standards and that remains very true with the Classic Course. The strength of the course design leaves very little to be done to create a challenge for the world’s top professionals. Further to this, in 2020 we were able to open our newly designed clubhouse and 5-star Dusit Thani Laguna Singapore hotel, a property that has been purpose-built to host major competitions and cover every aspect inclusive of golf, accommodations, hospitality and catering.

The practice range, gym and first tee are all a short walk from your hotel room. There are five-star rooms, food, beverage and recreation facilities on site. Partners have their own two-story villas (with private pools) as part of their hospitality.
