Dusit Thani Laguna Singapore opened back in end-2020 – that’s right, in the middle of a global pandemic – which goes to show just how strongly its Thailand-based operators believed they were teeing off a hole-in-one of an integrated golfing resort.

Well, it’s been close to four years since its opening, and the luxury wellness destination is showing no signs of slowing down – both as a regional hub for golfing at the championship level, and for holidaymakers looking for a convenient escape from the city.

Just in terms of sheer location alone, there’s much to be happy about. Dusit Thani Laguna Singapore and Laguna National Golf Resort Club reside within a Goldilocks zone between bucolic serenity and international accessibility.

Changi Airport is just a 10-minute drive away, with the heart of the country’s downtown core 15 minutes in the opposite direction.

At Dusit Thani Laguna Singapore, there are 198 sumptuously appointed rooms and suites on the resort, each tastefully adorned with a contemporary Asian touch and equipped with a comprehensive suite of amenities. There’s even a pillow menu available for travellers who require custom ergonomic support.

Guests can enjoy all-day dining restaurant at Greenhouse (with views over the Masters Course) while savouring an arena of authentic, multi-ethnic cuisine served from five show kitchens – Royal Thai delicacies, Japanese cuisine, traditional Indian Tandoor, Mediterranean dishes and Chinese specialties. They can also relax with an innovative array of artisanal concoctions, premium wines and enticing bar bites at Legends Bar. There’s also Devarana Wellness spa, a sanctuary devoted to nurturing mind, body and soul for rejuvenation and leisure facilities including swimming pools and tennis courts to explore.

Exclusive Golfing Access

Rest, after all, is paramount for a good day on the green, and there’s plenty of green to be found at the Laguna National’s two 18-hole championship courses.

The Classic Course – better known as The Beast – offers a sizable challenge for those with the stomach and swing to take on its unforgiving hilly terrain, five water features and repertoire of over 146 bunkers.

Its formidable length of 7,141 yards (6,529 metres) makes it an ideal battling ground for professionals, as evidenced by its hosting of the Porsche Singapore Classic for the DP World Tour (formerly known as the European Tour).

Then there’s the Masters Course, a veritable Grand Old Lady (as it is affectionately known) with nearly three decades of golfing history behind it. It features a looker of a layout sculpted by the inimitable American golf course designer Andy Dye – think pristine Bermuda grass greens, towering raintrees and gorgeous lakes.

You can get a great preview of the Masters Course from the window of the forest-themed Greenhouse restaurant, which presents five open-concept kitchens serving a multiethnic smorgasbord of Thai, Japanese, Indian tandoor, Mediterranean and Chinese specialities.

Stay & Play

Guests of Dusit Thani Laguna Singapore, naturally, are granted exclusive access to either of these two championship-standard courses as part of the resort’s Stay & Play Package, which comes complete with wellness and dining discounts.

The package offers the perfect golfing retreat with luxury accommodations and unique experiences. It includes one round of golf on either the Masters or Classic Course, with a GPS buggy, access to the Short Game Practice Area and Changing Room Facilities. At all-day dining Greenhouse restaurant, enjoy breakfast for up to two adults, $30 nett dining credits per stay (excluding alcoholic beverages, promotional, discounted or set menus), 30 percent discount on buffet, and 20 percent discount on a la carte dining at the restaurant and all other dining outlets.

That’s not all. At Devarana Wellness, get 15 percent off signature treatments and discounts on massages and body scrubs – perfect for pre- and post-golf relaxation.

Golfing enthusiasts who prefer to watch the masters at work should block out their calendars next March, as that’s when the Porsche Singapore Classic will be returning as part of the 2025 DP World Tour.

From Mar 20 to 23, professional golfers from around the world will be teeing off at the Laguna National Golf Resort Club, testing their mettle on a course you’ve played at just a week before – an endlessly exciting, if humbling, proposition for any golfer worth his salt.
