The thought of playing golf may scream “atas sport” to many of us because of the fancy equipment and country club memberships that usually accompany it. But even for those who’ve only had experience playing a casual game of mini golf, it can still be pretty accessible thanks to public golf courses in Singapore with onsite equipment rental.
