Club N Resorts
First Impressions
Before I entered the Laguna National Country Club, I had the idea that people who frequent country clubs were rich people. They were people who had lots of money and lots of time to enjoy such facilities. I associated those people with the high society of Singapore and it was a league of citizens that I may never enter. The first thing I think of whenever I think of a country club is golf. I guess that is why I had the general impression that people visit clubs just to play golf. For example, I have a friend who plays golf and comes from a well to do family. Because I come from a humble family, I had never visited a club before. That is why it was a real eye opener for me when I visited the Laguna National.
Before the field trip, i went to their official website to have a look at what the club was like. I thought that they must surely be one of the best clubs in Singapore in terms of facilities and the golf course. Just from the website alone I saw that they had many premier restaurants, variety of sports recreation facilities, a spa and a big golf course.
After visiting Laguna National, my impression of the country club itself and country clubs as a whole did not change. Seeing really is believing. The first thing that I learnt is that it has a world class golf course. It boasts two 18 hole par 72 golf courses. They are named Masters Course and World Classic Course. This golf course has hosted many prestigious golf tournaments. The Asian PGA Tour, The Singapore Open and the Caltex Masters are some examples.
I also learnt that there is accommodation provided. They provide suites for members and the public guests. The prices of the suites are cheaper for the club members. In addition to the suites, I found out on the fieldtrip that there are plans to build a hotel in the coming few years. I feel that this is a good move as it attracts tourists who want to golf at a world class golf course and also have a nearby place to stay.
