Congratulations to Joe, Alfred and Seng Wee for getting their PCs. SO, what can you do with a PC here? Probably nothing much. I was never asked to produce my PC ever since getting it about a year and a half ago. But still, it's some kind of achievement I suppose.
The Set Up
The trip to Green Fairways was a rather pleasant one. After turning into Fairway Drive from Eng Neo Avenue, you'll be greeted with horses and their trainers taking a stroll around the grasslands. Pretty relaxing sight, especially on your day off from work.
Price-wise, it's rather expensive at $42.80 per golfer. To put things into perspective, a well-maintained Seletar Base Golf Course only charged around $30 for weekday golf.
The Up Swing
We've heard about the rather undulating slopes and hills of the course, and true enough, the slopes are steep and undulating. Going through 9 holes here is great for burning off that carbo-laden nasi lemak. Anyway, it's all cow grass here. Maintenance wise, it doesn't beat Seletar Base, but it's a whole lot better than Mandai.
Impact
Being a property of the Singapore Turf Club, the holes are named after parts of the race course. For example, hole 1 is called "Starters Up", hole 6 "Home Turn and the last hole is aptly named "Home Straight".
The morning started off nicely for us, we went round "The First Bend", got "Through The Gap", and reached the "Home Turn". However, we had to abandon the race when we went "Down The Hill" as the thunderstorm came.
Follow Through
Because of the rain, we had to get our lunch at the restaurant there. Prices are a bit on the high side. Around $5-8 for their fried-rice-type dishes. But it's really not bad though. Better than the average zi-char stalls.
By the way, Joe generously treated us to lunch. From all of us, we wish you all the best in your new job.
Oh, finally, why didn't I mention anything about the clubhouse? We didn't use it. So there...
