Champions Public Golf Course (Green Fairways)
Tucked away in the lush Bukit Timah district, Champions Public Golf Course, formerly known as Green Fairways, offers a rare slice of peaceful greenery and relaxed golfing in the heart of urban Singapore. Known for its accessibility, welcoming atmosphere, and natural terrain, Champions has grown into one of the most beloved public golf facilities for both recreational and learning golfers alike.
Founded in 1998 by PGA professionals Alan Murray and Garry Overy, Champions was created with the vision of making golf more accessible and enjoyable for everyone. Unlike most 18-hole championship layouts, this 9-hole par-34 parkland course offers an environment that is equally suited for beginners, juniors, casual players, and even seasoned golfers looking to sharpen their short game. With tree-lined fairways, rolling hills, and a natural landscape that embraces the contours of Bukit Timah, the course encourages strategy and control over sheer distance.
What makes Champions unique is its ability to deliver a full golfing experience in a compact, efficient format. The 9-hole layout is deceptively challenging, with tight fairways, elevation changes, and water hazards coming into play on key holes — most notably the iconic Hole 3, where a well-placed tee shot is required to clear a pond and reach the green. Despite its compact size, this is no pitch-and-putt course. Every hole has been thoughtfully designed to reward accuracy, creative shot-making, and consistent play.
Champions is also home to one of Singapore’s best driving ranges, a 66-bay covered facility with a grass landing area, target greens, and both mat and turf bays for year-round practice. This makes it a favorite among office workers, juniors, and golf enthusiasts who want to squeeze in a few practice swings before or after work. The range is floodlit and open late into the evening, making it one of the most convenient golf practice facilities on the island.
The Champions Golf Academy is another key highlight. Staffed by certified PGA professionals, it caters to golfers of all ages and skill levels. Whether you're taking your very first swing, preparing for a school competition, or looking to break 90 for the first time, the academy offers structured programs and private coaching tailored to your goals. Junior clinics, corporate team-building sessions, and family golf packages make it a truly inclusive destination.
When it comes to amenities, Champions delivers far more than your typical public course. On-site dining includes the well-loved Royal Thai Restaurant, offering authentic Thai cuisine in a tranquil garden setting, and Picotin Bistro, a European-style eatery popular among golfers, cyclists, and Bukit Timah locals alike. After your round or practice session, unwind with a cold drink, enjoy alfresco dining, or catch up with friends in a casual, clubhouse atmosphere.
Champions also provides services such as equipment rentals, club repair and regripping, and custom fittings — all available at the fully stocked pro shop. The friendly staff and well-maintained grounds reflect a dedication to hospitality and community that has kept regulars coming back for years.
Whether you’re a beginner learning the ropes, a parent introducing your child to the game, or a golfer looking for a quick but meaningful round in the city, Champions Public Golf Course offers a unique balance of challenge, convenience, and charm. It's the kind of place where golf feels fun again — relaxed, accessible, and built around the joy of the game.
