Palm Springs Golf & Beach Resort Bar
Palm Springs Golf and Beach Resort in Nongsa is primarily a golf destination but the resort bar and beachside restaurant serve non-golfers and day visitors as well. The bar overlooks the sea and the golf course simultaneously. Cold beers and simple cocktails are available from morning through evening. The private beach access is the draw for non-golfers. Golfers often use the bar as a 19th hole after their rounds. The pace here is genuinely unhurried.

Full Review
Palm Springs is primarily a golf destination, and the bar reflects that identity. It overlooks both the sea and the golf course, serving the dual function of 19th hole and beach bar. The setup is simple: cold beers, basic cocktails, and a view that combines tropical coastline with manicured fairways. The private beach access is the draw for non-golfers, offering a quieter alternative to Nagoya's entertainment-focused scene.
The crowd is predominantly golfers finishing their rounds and resort guests with time to fill. Singaporean day-trippers using the golf packages make up the weekend numbers. The pace is genuinely unhurried, which is either the appeal or the limitation depending on what you're looking for. Staff know their regulars, food is simple and reliable, and nobody is in a hurry to be anywhere else.
Compared to the other Nongsa resort bars, Palm Springs occupies a more niche position. It lacks the Singapore skyline drama of KTM or Turi Beach, but it offers golf-resort calm that the others don't. The bar is best understood as part of a larger resort experience rather than a standalone destination.
Non-golfers should call ahead to confirm day-guest access and associated fees. The sunset from the sea-view terrace is genuinely good. The resort sits about 30 minutes by taxi from the Nongsa ferry terminal.
