While Tanjong may play the younger brother to its blooded brethren Serapong next door, it is by no means worth any less. Sentosa General Manager and course designer Andrew Johnston has, over the years, fine-tuned and tweaked this great layout to its high standards today. Tanjong being the venue of the HSBC Women’s World Championship 2024 is true testament to its challenge and reputation.
