Orchid Country Club
Orchid Country Club is a 27 hole Chris Pitman design from 1994 in northern Singapore, set beside the Lower Seletar Reservoir. It is best known as the home of the country's only floodlit night golf, its three nines named for orchids.

The verdict
Orchid Country Club opened in 1994 to a design by Chris Pitman, shaped with the guidance of the late Singapore President Ong Teng Cheong. It spreads across 27 holes beside the Lower Seletar Reservoir, three nine hole courses named Vanda, Aranda and Dendro that combine into full eighteens, the most common pairing playing as a par 72 of about 6,078 yards.
Its signature is the floodlighting, the only true night golf in Singapore, which lets visitors play in the cooler evening air long after the tropical heat of the day. That, plus a resort style clubhouse and reservoir setting, makes Orchid a relaxed, distinctive round, an easy addition to a Singapore golf trip alongside the city's championship courses such as Sentosa's Serapong.

The holes worth the trip
The 27 holes give Orchid genuine variety, the Vanda, Aranda and Dendro nines combining into different eighteens so a repeat visit never plays quite the same. Water from the neighboring reservoir and a network of lakes is the defining hazard, threatening tee shots and approaches across the property.
From the standard combinations it is a fair, enjoyable par 72 of around 6,078 yards rather than a brute, rewarding straight driving and a steady short game. The greens are receptive and the corridors generous enough for the holiday golfer, while the water keeps the wayward shot honest.
Night golf is the experience to seek out, the floodlit fairways offering a cooler, atmospheric round unique in Singapore. Conditioning is to a good standard, carts and caddies can be arranged, and the relaxed resort setting makes Orchid a welcoming change of pace from the city's private clubs.
