Enjoy Orchid Country Club’s new Weekday Term Golfing Membership all year round
With the recent launch of an attractive new annual Weekday Term Golfing Membership, golfers can now tee it up at Orchid Country Club (OCC) and enjoy a host of privileges at the same time without a monthly subscription. These include the use of the club’s extensive golf, sports and entertainment facilities in addition to its three stunning award-winning nine hole layouts.
Situated adjacent to the Seletar Reservoir, the 27-hole course, which has hosted a number of professional tournaments, offers enough challenges to suit both the low-handicapper and novice golfer. Named after three orchids – Aranda, Vanda and Dendro – the layouts are an absolute delight to play on with each having their own unique features. They are also regularly maintained and tweaked to provide members and their guests with a consistently good golfing experience.
The par-36 Aranda, which measures 3125 metres from the blue tees, was the first of the three to be built back in 1993. It has generous fairways and large undulating greens which average 700 to 900 square metres.
Despite being the shortest at 3043 metres from the blues, the Vanda, on the other hand, offers challenging course management with a slew of water hazards. Accuracy is a premium here, especially on holes six, seven and eight so remember to pack plenty of balls. Its par-four fifth is tough as it plays slightly dogleg left, which requires a well-placed driver to the right of the fairway bunker. This will leave you a mid/ long iron to an elevated green. The longer hitters can fly the fairway bunker, which will leave you a short iron to the long narrow green. There is a bail out area to the left of the green which is the smarter option with the green well guarded on the right by deep bunkers.
