The Riau Islands are located in the northwestern part of Indonesia, just south of Singapore. The region includes Batam and Bintan, which are rapidly establishing themselves as a rising golf tourism hub in Southeast Asia. With 10 golf courses currently in operation, seven in Batam and three in Bintan, and more under development, the area is well-positioned to meet increasing demand from international travelers.
Courses such as Bintan Lagoon Golf Club, Laguna Golf Bintan, Palm Springs Golf & Beach Resort, and Padang Golf Sukajadi offer scenic layouts, warm island hospitality, and close proximity to Singapore. These factors make the Riau Islands ideal for short-haul leisure trips and weekend golf escapes.
This upward trend presents a valuable opportunity to create golf packages tailored to long-haul travelers seeking accessible, value-driven destinations with a tropical resort atmosphere. With expanding infrastructure and convenient ferry access from Singapore, the region supports flexible routing and combination itineraries across Indonesia, Malaysia, and beyond.
