Mini golfing swept us off our feet back in 2018 and if you’re ready to test your swing at the real deal, there’s a lesser-known driving range tucked away in Punggol. Good news for beginners, everyone from the public is welcomed – not just club members. Prices also start from an affordable $8 for 100 balls; with golf club rentals said to be available very soon.
