Bali Golf And Country Club

The Bali Golf & Country Club in Nusa Dua, Bali, Indonesia, is one of those places magazines refer to as “the ultimate golfing destination”.
Set in a lush, tropical location, with swaying coconut palms and sea views for added effect, this 18-hole course is more than just a “pretty” golfing destination, however.

Here at Bali Golf & Country Club in Nusa Dua, Bali, we’re all about the golf.

We could wax lyrical about the views, the location, the sea breezes and the tropical paradise setting, and probably will, but when it comes right down to it, when you get out on the golf course it’s all about your game. That dimpled white ball is king around here, and your scorecard its humble servant.

Which is why, at Bali Golf & Country Club, where we strive to offer every golfer the very best possible golfing experience ever, we do everything in our power to make every day a great golfing day.

Whether you are a beginner golfer, playing off scratch, a pro or just the average weekend-golfer, Bali Golf & Country Club honours you and your game: we celebrate real people playing real golf.

What is it that makes Bali Golf & Country Club the ‘best golfing experience’? Great location? Hole-in-one. Challenging yet playable? Birdie. Well-maintained? Eagle. Customer service, facilities, golf carts, caddies. It’s our overall package that makes every day a great golfing day. From the changing room to the tee box, to the fairway, to the greens, and even the hazards, and onwards to the 19^th, as well as our Ancora Golf Institute, we make sure our internationally designed 18 hole golf course offers you the best possible venue to play a round of golf. A round that will leave you feeling inspired to tackle the next round – no matter how your scorecard reads.

Nick Faldo has played here. So have Ian Woosnam, Vijay Singh and Colin Montgomery, amongst others. This comes as no surprise though, when you see Bali Golf & Country Club, undoubtedly one of the five best golf experiences in Asia, for yourself.

The course at Bali Golf & Country Club is unique in that golfers enjoy two distinctly different nine holes. On the front nine you drive off into rain forest clad hills, moving onward to spectacular vistas out over the Indian Ocean to Nusa Penida and the volcanic mountains of East Bali, where Gunung Agung reigns supreme. The back nine sees golfers doing battle with giant coconut groves to stay on the carpet of verdant green fairways and greens, finishing off with the Indian Ocean practically lapping at your golf shoes.

Of course, as spectacular as the views are, the objective in golf is always to keep your eye on the ball, remember?

Location

Bali is often called the “island of the gods” and in Nusa Dua you can see why. Three miles of postcard-perfect white sand beaches fringed with coconut trees; azure blue ocean waters; verdant jungle surrounds; tropical landscaped areas and the weather to match.

Nusa Dua, a safe haven on the Bukit, at the very south of the island, has only one entrance point, making it all the more desirable as a must-stay destination. A master-planned five-star beach resort, Nusa Dua is home to 11 five-star hotels, some of the most luxurious on the island, as well as a number of wonderful spas, art galleries and a unique shopping mall filled with luxury goods for those who require more than a perfect beach for a happy holiday.

The icing on the tropical flavoured cake, however, has to be Bali Golf & Country Club. Perhaps the gods were golfers.

Course Overview

Designed by Nelson, Wright, the 18-hole course has a Championship rating of 73.2; a tournament rating of 71.7; a resort rating of 70.4; and a ladies’ rating of 70.1. Nick Faldo holds the course record – a marvellous 63 shot at the Alfred Dunhill Masters in November 1994.

The longest hole is the 7^th, boasting 580 championship yards. The trickiest? Whichever one you’re currently on! Watch out for some unusual terraced landscaping hazards that might just inspire a kind of longing for a good old-fashioned bunker.

Second shot: Don’t trip as you get to the top of the clubhouse stairs and are sidetracked by the views. The focal point of the clubhouse is the Pro Shop, our golf operations hub, where you will register for your round against a backdrop of the emerald green golf course and the ocean beyond. Allow yourself to fall for the temptation of a great range of top quality logo golf merchandise.

Our friendly, attentive team of locker room attendants will see to your shoe rentals, as well as any other golfing needs.

An on course golfer’s café cart will also provide snacks and beverages to keep your strength and energy up.

Putt: Warm up at our driving range, perhaps with one of our Ancora Golf Institute PGA professional instructors on hand to help you make today’s round your best yet.

In the hole: Tee off. And remember: at Bali Golf & Country Club, every day is a great golf day!

The 19th: Head for the 19th hole – The Bunker & Eagle’s Nest – for a relaxing drink or two, then stay for a delicious ocean-view dinner at Barong Restaurant. For more info on the club’s food and beverage facilities see our Eating & Drinking section.
