"Where Every Day is a Great Golf Day"
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&rsquo 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 7th, boasting 580 championship yards. The trickiest? Whichever one you are currently on! Watch out for some unusual terraced landscaping hazards that might just inspire a kind of longing for a good old-fashioned bunker.
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 atmospheric effect, this 18-hole course is more than just a “pretty&rdquo golfing destination. It is a championship course, which has hosted such prestigious competitions as the Johnnie Walker Skins and Alfred Dunhill Masters. It is a course designed to both beguile and test all levels of golfers. It is a course designed with just one thing in mind: great golf, every day.
Nick Faldo has played here. So have Ian Woosnam, Vijay Singh and Colin Montgomery, amongst others. This comes as no surprise, 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.
