Handara Golf Resort Bali
Bali Handara Kosaido Country Club, despite being a 2.5-hour drive from popular tourist areas like Nusa Dua and Ubud, is well worth the journey. Ranked among Golf Magazine’s “Top 50 Greatest Golf Courses in the World,” this course offers a unique experience set within the crater of a dormant volcano at nearly 4,000 feet above sea level. Surrounded by lush mountains, crater lakes, and rainforest, it features dramatic elevation changes and strategic hazards that make each round both challenging and enjoyable.
The course starts with a welcoming par-5, easing you in before presenting more difficult holes like the dogleg par-4 3rd, where a powerful drive is needed to clear a creek. The standout hole is the 14th, a 203-yard par-3 that requires an uphill shot to a well-protected green, framed by stunning mountain views.
The Bent grass greens are fast and undulating, offering a fair but demanding challenge. To navigate the hilly terrain, a golf cart is recommended, though walking is possible, especially on the downhill finishing holes. The clubhouse, with its mid-century Palm Springs-style architecture, provides a comfortable setting for relaxation, complete with a sauna and a range of dining options.
For a memorable golf experience on Bali, this course is highly recommended. To avoid early morning mist and fully appreciate the course, consider booking a tee time later in the day.
