The Hollandse Club

Discover the heritage of the Hollandse Club. From a once small group of Dutch men congregating for a drink, it has grown into the strong international club it is today. Let us walk you down memory lane to look at the foundations and milestones of the Club´s former days. 

The Dutch community in Singapore has been around for a long time. As far back as the nineteenth century Dutch people were working for companies here. At that time, people were sent abroad by their employer for six to eight years, this meant for many, life in Singapore had a much greater impact than it does today. Back then there was no air-conditioning to cool Western heads from the tropical heat, annual home leave was out of the question and only every four years could you leave Singapore for a few months. Even by the early twentieth century, the decision to travel home meant choosing between a boat trip of three weeks or a very expensive flight of three days. Family and friends were rarely seen. The Hollandse Club is an International Club with over 40 nationalities and fun place for the whole family. It's what leisure time in Singapore is all about, and at the Hollandse Club, you'll find an environment dedicated to enjoyment and relaxation for adults and children alike. The Hollandse Club, (or Dutch Club as it's sometimes called), is ideally located amidst tropical surroundings just off Adam Road. It's your private Oasis in the Heart of Town! It offers an exceptional range of sports & recreation facilities and dining.
