The Bukit Course borders the sprawling MacRitchie Reservoir, boasting more than 3,000 fully-grown trees of at least ten varieties. These trees are protected and a proud feature of the golf course.

Gazetting is aimed to control mature trees' indiscriminate felling and shortlist conservation-worthy green spaces amongst the large extent of greenery and natural heritage.
