    A Heritage to be Proud of. A Privilege to Belong.Serangoon Gardens Country Club is one of the oldest and most well-respected clubs in Singapore. Established on 29 April 1955 by Mr. S. C. Macey and some residents of Serangoon Gardens, it was then known as the Serangoon Gardens Sports Club. Membership was just $2 but was exclusive to residents of Serangoon Gardens estate. Majority were British servicemen who enjoyed gathering at the Club for soccer and hockey matches or a game of billiards, darts, bridge or tombola. Children also had a splashing time when the soccer field occasionally doubled-up as a pool and fishing pond after heavy rain.In 1981, under the encouragement and foresight of Dr. Lau Teik Soon (Member of Parliament, 1976 to 1996 for Serangoon Gardens and Thomson GRC), the Club was redeveloped and Serangoon Gardens Country Club (SGCC) was born. Sitting on 22,684 square metres of prime land stretching from the junction of Hemsley Avenue to Kensington Park Road, the Club is an icon of heritage to the area and of pride to 4,000 members who now come from all corners of Singapore.Today, the Club boasts a strong heritage of patrons such as Emeritus Senior Minister Goh Chok Tong, Mr. George Yeo, Mrs. Lim Hwee Hua and Member of Parliament for Aljunied GRC, Ms Sylvia Lim.The Club also prides itself as a Members’ Club. This means members have voting rights and own a part of the property and assets of the Club. However, much more than that is the friendship, the relationship, the camaraderie and the sense of belonging formed at Serangoon Gardens Country Club. They are truly priceless and for a lifetime. Indeed, it’s a privilege to belong.VisionTo be Singapore’s best family club for recreational and social activities.MissionExceed members’ expectations with a wide range of activities and excellent service, offering members and their families and guests a satisfying experience at the club.

    What’s it like working at Serangoon Gardens Country Club?

    AI summary of recent reviews

    Employees at Serangoon Gardens Country Club appreciated the friendly and welcoming colleagues, as well as the understanding management that aimed to improve work areas. The fun and relaxed work environment, with good food provided, was also seen as a positive aspect. For fresh entry-level employees, the club was viewed as a good learning environment that provided opportunities for career development.

    However, there were some potential challenges, such as feelings of micromanagement by the committee and limited opportunities for growth due to repetitive tasks. Long working hours resulted in less time spent with family, and employees had to cater to the various needs of the Club Members, which could be demanding. There were also indications of workplace politics within the administration and management.

    Very Cheerful, Family Oriented Company
    The good thingsColleagues are mostly eager to assist you with learning the job and the Manager I had, was pretty cool with understanding and improving the work area and on how to make situations we encounter easier for staffs to handle. Pretty much, it was quite fun working in SGCC!
    The challengesAs I am the type who likes to have ongoing work until my shift is up, there is not much to be done once the traffic is over or any given tasks have been completed. They do not have a proper place for staff to relax away from the purview of members at the time I was working there.
