Best Golf Courses in Bali
Bali Handara Golf and Country Club
Located 1,200 meters above sea level in a volcanic crater, Handara Golf and Country Club is one of Bali’s most breathtaking courses. The cool temperatures and lush scenery make it a golf paradise. Designed by a British Championship winner, it features a pro shop, driving range, and a luxurious locker room with a sauna.
Bali National Golf Course (permanently closing - effective May 1, 2025)
Recently renovated, Bali National Golf Course is nestled among mature trees and offers immaculate playing conditions. It challenges golfers with its subtle breaks and deep bunkers. The course includes a golf simulator, driving range, and a restaurant and bar.
New Kuta Golf
Situated 20 minutes from the airport and near Dreamland Beach, New Kuta Golf provides stunning sea views and links-style play. The course’s design incorporates natural features, including multi-tiered holes and extensive sand traps. The course is suitable for all skill levels and offers a restaurant serving local Indonesian cuisine. It was honored as an iGolf Laureate Course in 2008 for its environmental efforts.
Nirwana Bali Golf Club
Currently closed for renovation, Nirwana Bali Golf Club, designed by Greg Norman, is one of Bali’s premier courses. Overlooking the Indian Ocean and set amidst paddy fields and palm trees, it features a Hindu temple perched above three holes. The course’s serene setting and excellent facilities make it a top choice for golfers.
Bali Beach Golf Club
For a quick round, Bali Beach Golf Club offers a 9-hole course with mature tree-lined fairways. Though it has fewer hole varieties, it remains enjoyable with its protected greens and sea breezes.
Bali's golf courses attract players from around the globe, promising memorable rounds amid the island's warm climate and vibrant atmosphere.
The championship golf course, designed by the legendary Phil Mickelson, will provide 18 holes of world-class golf perfectly complemented by breathtaking views of the majestic Indian Ocean.
Crowned Best New International Course by Links Magazine shortly after opening in 2007, New Kuta Golf Club’s reputation has only grown, and its recent hosting of the Indonesian Open cemented its status as the latest in a long line of quality Indonesian golf courses.
It may be a long way from the traditional tourist centres in Nusa Dua and Ubud (up to 2.5 hours), but a deserved place in Golf Magazine’s “Top 50 Greatest Golf Courses in the World” means a trip to the world-class championship course at Bali Handara Kosaido Country Club is well worth the effort.
A new and exciting executive golf course has been opened in Bali. The Bukit Pandawa Golf and Country Club is the latest addition to the already stunning golf scene in Bali and this course is no exception.
Permanently closing - effective May 1, 2025 Freshly re-opened in 2013 following extensive and much-needed renovations that have stretched the course to over 7,100 yards from the black tees, Bali National Golf Country Club is set to reclaim the elevated status it had during the days when it hosted the 1994 Asian Dunhill Masters and was voted one of Asia’s Top Five Courses by Fortune Magazine in 1997.
