As of May 1, 2025, Bali National Golf Club has permanently closed, prompting a reevaluation of golf itineraries in the region. However, Bali continues to offer exceptional golfing experiences through three prominent courses:
• Bukit Pandawa Golf & Country Club: Situated on a limestone cliff-top overlooking the Indian Ocean, this 18-hole par-3 course offers a unique and time-efficient golfing experience. Its design integrates rustic architectural elements and scenic vistas, appealing to golfers seeking both challenge and beauty.
• Handara Golf & Resort Bali: Located in the highlands of Bedugul, this course is nestled within a volcanic crater, providing a cool climate and lush surroundings. Its 18-hole layout, designed by Peter Thompson, Michael Wolveridge & Associates, offers a tranquil setting away from the coastal bustle.
• New Kuta Golf: As Indonesia’s first links-style course, New Kuta Golf presents a championship layout with panoramic ocean views. Its challenging design caters to both novice and experienced golfers, making it a versatile addition to any golf tour.
This variety of settings allows for flexible and well-rounded golf itineraries that showcase Bali’s natural beauty and cultural depth. With each course offering its own character, Bali remains a strong choice for long-haul travelers seeking a memorable golf experience.
