Bali National Golf Club

Bali National, formerly known as the Bali Golf and Country Club, is currently temporarily closed.

Consistently recognized as one of Asias top five courses, this championship 18-hole course was designed by Robin Nelson and Rodney Wright. Renowned for its spectacular seaside setting and tropical paradise atmosphere, the club has long been a favorite for its scenic views and refreshing sea breezes.

The Future of Bali National

We are excited to share that the course is undergoing enhancements to further elevate your golfing experience. Bali National is scheduled to officially reopen by the first quarter of 2027.

Nirwana Bali Golf Club

Please note: The Nirwana Bali Golf Club is currently temporarily closed.

Located in the Tabanan Regency on the islands west coast – approximately an hour’s drive from Amanusa – the Nirwana Bali Golf Club is one of Asias most visually arresting championship courses. Designed by former British Open champion Greg Norman, the course offers a unique experience as it plays through lush rice paddies, tropical forests, gardens, and winding creeks.

The Bali Handara Country Club

The Bali Handara Country Club, acclaimed as one of the world’s most beautiful golf courses the club is an hour-and-a-half from Amanusa. Designed by Peter Thomson and Graham Wolveridge, the course is set in an extinct volcano. The championship course’s 18 holes lie amid lush green mountain slopes and rainforest.

New Kuta Golf Bali

Located just 20 minutes drive from Bali’s International Airport, New Kuta Golf is designed with four of tees giving variety to ensure a satisfying round of golf in Bali for all skill levels.

Nine Bridges Golf Korea

Nine Bridges is the best golf course in South Korea and is also the most prestigious, granting only limited access to the desiring hordes. Those lucky enough to secure a tee time will be enchanted by the combination of the course’s design and the sheer beauty of the surrounding landscape.

Separated from the mainland of the Korean peninsula is Jeju Island, a volcanic mass that serves as the leisure retreat for the working masses of Seoul. Under the shadow of Mount Halla, South Korea’s highest peak, Nine Bridges is an unorthodox fusion of style created by the Golf Plan design association. Architects Ronald Fream and David Dale were at pains to create a course with a definite Scottish influence, but the resultant course would be more at home in Florida.

There are few more aesthetically pleasing golf courses than Nine Bridges, which is bordered by magnificent flora and foliage, but the quality of the championship course should not be underestimated. Since opening in 2001, Nine Bridges has leapt to the forefront of golf in South Korea and is, without doubt, one of the world’s most fascinating destinations.

Emirates Golf Club

Emirates Golf Club sports two championship courses, a friendly yet testing 9 hole Par-3 course, the Emirates Golf Academy, numerous practice facilities and two driving ranges. Named among the world’s top 100 golf courses in a survey conducted by influential US-based magazine Golf Digest, the Majlis is the home of world-class events like the Dubai Desert Classic and the Dubai Ladies’ Masters, inspiring awe among all those who play its verdant greens.

Redesigned by golf legend and six-time major winner Nick Faldo, Emirates Golf Club’s second course, The Faldo, combines a stunning visual design with the nuances and challenges of any championship course in just the right measure, providing visitors with an exceptionally enjoyable golfing experience and one that is completely unique.

Dubai Creek Golf & Yacht Club

The par 71 course that measures 6,857 yards is a memorable journey from the first tee to the 18th green. The superbly manicured fairways are undulating, demarcated by mounds, date and palm trees, and most other times by water. Apart from the Creek, which comes into play on at least four holes, several artificial lakes add to the beauty and difficulty of various other holes.

The presence of multiple tees ensures that golfers of all calibres enjoy their day out of the course. While the length of the tee helps, the premium is certainly on accuracy, especially with the approach shots as most of the greens are multi-tiered with subtle borrows.

The Dubai Creek Golf & Yacht Club course sets up for a thrilling finale to around with its two par 4 closing holes. The 17th and 18th have the Creek guarding the entire left side of the fairway. While the 17th can still be conquered with some smart play, the 18th requires mandatory cerebral involvement on every shot. There is water on the left and a long bunker on the right, beyond which is water again. A good drive will still leave you with a long iron into the tiered and sloping green, which is guarded at the front and right by a body of water.

Golf does not end at sunset at Dubai Creek as the feature-packed Par 3 course, a well-equipped Driving Range and the Club’s outstanding practice facilities are all floodlit to allow play late into the night. And the Creek also offers golfers a systematic teaching programme to improve their skills at the first Golf Academy in the region. Under the supervision of PGA Professionals, players can receive sound instruction to improve their games.

The Academy also uses the latest technologies including the much-favoured V1 Golf Swing Analysis software and the Trackman radar system for shot analysis, which was used to stunning effect to enhance the television coverage for the first time in the 2006 British Open.
