Where you'll play
Formerly Bali National Golf Club will be transformed to be Bali Beach Country Club, which is scheduled to reoperate the February 2027.
Bali National Golf Club is closed as of 1 May 2025.
A Robin Nelson and Rodney Wright designed Hawaiian-styled golf course, Bali National Golf Club re-opened in 2013 after undergoing extensive renovations. Being located at the southern tip of the island puts Bali National near many of the top hotels. It is only a short 15-minute drive by new 4-lane tollway from the Bali International Airport.
The Bali golf course now features new Paspalum turf, with scalloped bunkering lining most fairways and elevated greens. Many of the newly routed holes have lengthened to championship distances as the course now plays to over 7100 yards from the tips.
In its previous incarnation, Bali National hosted the 1994 Asian Dunhill Masters where Nick Faldo shot the course record 63, and in 1997 the Bali golf club was voted one of Asia's top 5 golf courses by Fortune Magazine.
Two distinct terrains have been used to create Bali National. The outward nine plays up through the hills with lush tropical and jungle flora. Spectacular views of the Indian Ocean and the Nusa Dua area show up on practically every hole. Hand-built local stone walls have been incorporated into the golf course design to terrace the sides of fairways and tee boxes. The wall arrangements give one the impression of being in the typical rice field terraces that characterize the Bali countryside. The longest hole is the par-5 7th playing over 600 yards. Watch out for some unusual terraced landscaping hazards that might inspire a kind of longing for an old bunker.
The inward nine at Bali National plays on level land through coconut trees and a series of man-made lakes. Hole 17, one of the signature holes, is Bali’s answer to the famous TPC Sawgrass #17. The dangerous par-3 played to an island green requires a well-struck tee shot to avoid a watery beginning. The final hole is an excellent dogleg left which sets up for good birdie possibilities with spectators viewing the finish from the modern clubhouse.
The expert superintendent and superb maintenance ensure year-round championship playing conditions. The new Bali National Golf Club has a modern clubhouse and restaurant with spectacular views of the golf course and the Indian Ocean. There is a grass driving range with chipping and putting greens to warm-up.
Shared golf carts are compulsory and one caddy is provided for each golfer. The mature natural setting of Bali National Golf Club provides golfers with the best playing experience on the island.
Perched along the southern coastline of Bali, Bukit Pandawa Golf & Country Club offers a unique golfing experience with its 18-hole executive par-3 layout. Designed by JMP Golf, this course takes full advantage of its stunning location, weaving through elevated ridges and along cliff edges that provide breathtaking views of the Indian Ocean.
The course is nestled among prestigious accommodations, including the Mandarin Oriental, Raffles, Fairmont, and Waldorf Astoria, making it an ideal destination for those seeking luxury and convenience. The design features intricate greens complexes, rock formations, and rustic architectural elements that blend seamlessly with the natural limestone landscape. The use of Seashore Paspalum grass ensures excellent playing conditions throughout the year.
Bukit Pandawa stands out in Bali's golf scene with its cohesive collection of par-3 holes, offering a challenging yet rewarding experience for players. Whether you're enjoying the scenic beauty or the thoughtfully crafted design, this course promises an unforgettable round of golf.
New Kuta Golf, located on Bali's southern shore in the Pecatu compound at Dreamland Beach, offers a striking links-style experience with panoramic views of the Indian Ocean. This course is carved from rugged limestone, presenting a unique challenge among Asia's most scenic golfing destinations.
Renowned for its design and accolades, New Kuta Golf was named Best New International Course by Links Magazine in 2008 and ranked 10th Best Course in Indonesia by Golf Digest in 2009. It also hosted the Asian Tour Indonesian Open that year, highlighting its championship pedigree.
The course features rolling fairways and undulating greens, with a semi-rough of natural grasses and sand. The front nine takes golfers inland, while the back nine showcases the dramatic coastal landscape. Notable holes include the 6th, with its island-like green surrounded by sand, and the challenging par-4 7th, demanding precision and power.
On the back nine, golfers contend with sea breezes on holes perched 200 feet above Dreamland Beach. The par-4 14th offers a downhill challenge with ocean vistas, while the 15th and 16th require strategic play against the elements.
The clubhouse, positioned near the 9th and 18th greens, provides a comfortable retreat with a focus on Indonesian cuisine. For a memorable round, consider teeing off in the afternoon to enjoy Bali’s breathtaking sunset as you navigate the course’s final, demanding holes.
Handara Golf & Resort Bali offers a unique golfing experience set amidst the breathtaking highlands of Bali. Located within the crater of a volcano in the Bedugul mountains, this course is a scenic two-hour drive from Nusa Dua and an hour from Ubud. The journey takes you through charming Balinese villages and picturesque rice paddies, culminating in an arrival just past the serene Lake Bedugul.
At an elevation of 1,142 meters, the course enjoys mild temperatures ranging from 14 to 20 degrees Celsius, providing a comfortable playing environment. Designed by renowned Australians Peter Thomson and Michael Wolveridge in 1974, the 18-hole championship course features mature tree-lined fairways and Bent grass greens. Notable holes include the challenging 3rd, a 435-yard par-4 with a demanding dogleg, and the signature par-3 14th, offering stunning mountain vistas.
Golfers can hone their skills at the 300-yard driving range, with additional practice facilities including putting greens, a chipping area, and bunkers. While the clubhouse offers a Japanese restaurant, nearby Indonesian dining options provide a taste of local cuisine with views of Lake Bedugul.
Handara Golf & Resort Bali promises a memorable round of golf, surrounded by the lush, exotic beauty of Bali’s natural landscape.
