Tropicana Golf & Country Resort, a subsidiary of Tropicana, hosted a fun day in the sun for media partners and corporate sponsors, honouring their valued support through the years. Held on 6 September 2023, the Media & Corporate Appreciation Day treated guests to lunch, a play-through on the greens, and sumptuous dinner along with prizes.

Kicking off at 11:30am, the day started with registration and a running lunch at the resort’s plush Golf Lounge, followed by a shotgun start for participants to get the tournament in full swing. Yew Kong Chee, Executive Director, Credit Admin & Resort Management of Tropicana, shared more on the initiative.

“Tropicana is honoured to welcome our media friends and corporate partners to Tropicana Golf & Country Resort, where we first began our journey more than 29 years ago. Today is our way of giving back to the community, while showcasing hospitality from the heart within the resort’s rolling greens,” he said.

After trying their hand at Tropicana Golf & Country Resort’s serene 18-hole East Course, guests proceeded to a mouthwatering dinner at Ballroom 1. The evening’s gastronomic delights included a playful amuse bouche, grilled unagi sharing platters, and the iconic Beef Wellington as well as regional favourites such as grilled sotong buncit percik and plat hot krop lart phrik rayong chicken, topped off by a tantalising Coconut Crème Brulee with buah Melaka finisher. The repast was interspersed with dancers from the resort’s staff, in their debut performance.

While enjoying their repast, guests and golfers were treated to a prize-giving ceremony, with winners taking home Vietnam Airlines tickets to Vietnam and Premier Leisure Golf tickets to Bangkok. In addition, lucky draw gifts of Srixon golf balls and complimentary green fee and dining vouchers were won, while Focus Point, Thai Odyssey and Waxright Enterprises auto detailing vouchers, as well as many more were given out as door gifts.

Established since 1992 with the mantra “Because life is to be enjoyed”, Tropicana Golf & Country Resort continues to Redefine the Art of Living with a fresh new look for its Grand Ballroom, as well as ample food and beverage options. The facelifted 11,000-sq ft Grand Ballroom caters for all occasions with an expansive venue for up to 1,000 guests, appointed in contemporary beige with ornate bird chandeliers to set a cheerful mood, as well as advanced lighting, two sprawling LED Wall units and seven 84” LED panel displays.

Gourmands can experience a medley of culinary crafts with the resort’s ample dining operators. From the savoury Seafood Pancake at QingHeGu, to the exquisite Squid Ink Fettuccini at Jojo’s, and Gin Shui Tei’s tender Grilled Sea Bream Head, there’s something for everyone at Tropicana Golf & Country Resort. This includes its celebrated Santapan 29 Malam Ramadhan buffet, which has been ongoing since 2004, save for an interlude during the Movement Control Order.
