WORLD GOLF AWARDS
SGC CROWNED WORLD’S BEST
ECO-FRIENDLY GOLF FACILITY
Despite the challenges faced this year, the Club has once again excelled at the World Golf Awards; following up last year’s accolade of ‘World’s Best Golf Club’ by being named the ‘World’s Best Eco-Friendly Golf Facility’.
The Club fought off competition from other environmental leaders after being recognised for its leadership and responsibility in planning, constructing and managing a resource efficient and ecologically rich golf environment, as well as playing a major role in expanding environmental activity throughout the region.
As well as securing the award for ‘World’s Best Eco-Friendly Golf Facility’, The Serapong was named ‘Singapore’s Best Golf Course’ for the second year in a row. We are extremely honoured to be awarded these accolades and would like to thank all our members and visitors for the role they have played in our journey so far. The premiere of GAME ON is finally here
Coinciding with being named the ‘World’s Best Eco-Friendly Golf Facility’, the Club was also excited to premiere a new environmental documentary film, as part of our GAME ON campaign, designed to raise awareness of the importance of climate change in golf.
The unveiling of the film followed many hours of filming and production during 2020 and is available to watch now on our YouTube and social media channels (please do also make sure you subscribe to our YouTube channel). We hope the documentary will serve as inspiration to golf’s response to climate change, as well as help clubs around the world to understand the importance of reducing their carbon footprint by implementing initiatives for the betterment of the environment. The film gives viewers the opportunity to see some of the key measures already implemented at the Club, such as the creation of our bee colonies and the banning of single-use plastics from our golf courses.
With over 61 million golfers and 39,000 golf courses worldwide, we believe that golf has the ability to become one of the leading industries to help reverse climate change and make a considerable impact.
The documentary is just the first step in our wider plans for GAME ON, a campaign that is closely aligned with The R&A’s 2030 Golf Course Initiative. It aims to educate and inspire the global golfing community to create a more socially conscious industry and consumer in order to tackle climate change and improve the quality of facilities on offer throughout the world.
