SUSTAINABILITY ON THE GREENS

ANDREW JOHNSTON’S DECADE-LONG stewardship at the illustrious Sentosa Golf Club has elevated the club to unparalleled heights.

Having joined the company in 2006 to reimagine the renowned Serapong course, Johnston’s visionary touch soon became apparent. By 2010, he had assumed the mantle of director of agronomy and, in 2013, his portfolio expanded to include the role of general manager. His innovative spirit and dedication came to the fore in 2016, when he oversaw the redesign of the new Tanjong course. The revamped course fused cutting-edge technological advancements with sustainable agronomic excellence and has since been justifiably hailed by guests and professionals as one of the world’s finest.

Celebrating its 50th anniversary this year, Sentosa Golf Club’s cascade of accolades is a testament to Johnston and his team’s relentless pursuit of perfection and a deep-rooted understanding of the intricacies of golf course architecture, agriculture and maintenance.
