What do you get when you cross sports for kids and wide open green spaces? A whole lot of fun!
We know it’s not easy to pull together a team for a game of soccer on short notice, especially if it’s just for a weekend. But putting a stick in a kid’s hand and tell them to hit a ball into a hole? Straightforward, simple and fun! Golf is a pretty unique sport, which makes it difficult to find age-appropriate versions for the kids. We definitely can’t have toddlers tearing around pristine golf lawns, no matter how fun those golf carts are, but we can have them teeing off at toddler-sized golf courses. That’s why we’ve found the best non-exclusive golf courses, driving ranges and golfing schools for little putters to practise their strokes. Fore!
PUBLIC GOLF COURSES
Not a member of an exclusive golf course? No problem! There are three public golf courses open to everyone, the old and young alike. They’re more cost effective and perfect for beginners to swing a club around at.
Mandai Executive Golf Course

The Mandai Executive Golf Course is perfect for beginners and golfers who want to practise their short game. Featuring nine-holes with a variety of par 3s and par 4s, this public course is especially beginner-friendly. It also has a Chip and Putt and a Driving Range with 40 bays so kids can hit endless balls into the distance.

This fam-favourite can hold up to 100 people and is open seven days a week from 7am. With free use of putters and golf balls and two different difficulty levels of golf courses – the Fruit Loop and Dragon – this golf course is our go-to for a good time with the kids. Oh, did we mention Champions has the only outdoor mini golf course in Singapore?
