Jebsen & Jessen Technology, in collaboration with trusted partners, Troon International, Toro, and Eng Swee Thye Engineering, will redefine golf course management and elevate SICC's The Island Course
Singapore, 24 September 2025 – Jebsen & Jessen Technology – Turf & Irrigation, a division of the Technology business unit of diversified industrial conglomerate Jebsen & Jessen Group, has been awarded a five-year contract to supply equipment, resources and expertise for the newly renovated 18-hole The Island Course at The Singapore Island Country Club (SICC). Jebsen & Jessen Technology – Turf & Irrigation will partner with Troon International, Toro, and Eng Swee Thye Engineering to deliver comprehensive maintenance and improvement of the 18-hole Island Course, including the Rotunda practice putting greens at the Club’s Island location. This multi-partner, integrated approach will provide the latest turf maintenance equipment and irrigation systems, and expertise in golf course management and maintenance services.
The newly redesigned The Island Course, expertly crafted by the renowned golf course design company, Nelson & Haworth, stays true to its roots of 1920s-1930s-style golf courses, while being refined to elevate the playing experience of members and guests. Meticulously designed for golfers, the addition of sand capping, a modern irrigation system, along with improved grass species, improves the drainage, playing and walking conditions, which allows for an elevated playing experience for all SICC members and guests. Amidst Singapore’s increasingly constrained golf landscape with the reallocation of land use for national priorities, SICC remains committed to providing a premium golf course and services for the golfing community.
