What makes this course so special? Who would not love to play golf facing the ocean ? The landscaping is natural desert like vegetation with native trees, long grass, creepers, a semi Scottish rough of existing shrubs. The Turf grass is made of seashore pasphalum and is coming from Thailand.

Hole 15

Shelter Snack/beverage stand at hole15.

One of the reasons why hole 15 is so popular (apart from the absolute stunning ocean view), it is a “pit stop” for some drinks and snacks. With a view like this, I would not be surprised if the break turns out longer than planned.

Shelter Snack/Beverage stand Hole 6

Hole 6 is popular for the same reasons, some shelter to have another break and snacks

The New Kuta Golf course was voted top three best maintained course in Asia Pacific 2013/2014 and looking at this picture of hole 16 it does not come as a surprise.


The golf course at sunset

Even those who might not be interested in playing golf, will surely be blown away by the beauty of the view and sunset

The Golf course seen from a bird’s eye

They also organize about 144 golfer tournaments a year

All Golf carts are equipped with cooler boxes, and one player is assisted by one trained female caddy

Caddy girls

All caddies are ladies (since 90% of all golfers are men, this probably makes sense, but it would still be nice to have some nice male caddies for the 10% of lady golfers too) and are trained to be a golfer for single travelers and players. Having a caddie for every golfer is an obligation, just be aware of it, you have no choice, but to accept this condition.

 The Golf Academy Bali (www.golfacademybali.com)

You are not yet a golfer, no problem, the PGA qualified Golf Academy is available to lead you up to the level you are aiming for. There are golf clinics for groups, and golf lessons. And since you can never start early enough to become a champion, there are junior programs too (minimum 10 years old).

Scottish national Rory Young, a British P.G.A trained professional golf coach at New Kuta Golf course for the last 20 months. 

Ladies, this message is for you, since the New Kuta Golf course really wants to encourage more ladies to take up this sport. Every Monday a ladies beginners’ course takes place at 08.00 am with free demonstration.

Asking the golf team where most of the players are coming from, the answer was that 90% were made up of Indonesians, Australians, Japanese, South Koreas and Chinese.  The remaining are from the rest of the world.
The club offers 2, 3 or 5 days intensive courses with 6 hours of lessons a day to include an hour break, 3 hours of lessons and a 9 hole golf play. The ideal group size is about 3-4 people.
Rory is one of the in-house golf instructors, was playing the European Tour for 2 years and discovered for himself that he is actually a better and more passionate coach than player.
I asked Rory if certain new students really stand out and he said it really depends on the individual, but he noticed over time that a lot of northern Europeans and Americans are better players, probably because many were already exposed to certain kinds of sports like tennis, cricket, hockey, etc. as children, making it easier for them at a later stage to learn golf. However, he said that his Asian students are among the most dedicated and disciplined. He also wished that more women would take up this sport, because he said what they might lack in power, they make up for with mental strength and technical skills.


Driving Range

A nice playground for those hitting the ball for the first time or wishing to practice before playing the real game.  The driving range is 250 long with Seashore Paspalum turf and artificial turf hitting mats

Practice on the driving range



A few rules are necessary.


Club house & Link Restaurant

The Golf course is also housing its own restaurant, serving mostly Indonesian, but also a variety of international food.   You can either enjoy your meal in the open-air atmosphere or if you prefer in the air-conditioned dining area.   The restaurant is open from 06.00 am until 8 pm.

Golf and seal a deal

Since golf courses around the world also act for many business people as an open air boardroom to seal a deal, you might like the idea that the New Kuta golf Course also has its own small meeting facilities and VIP boardroom which can accommodate about 16 people.

The VIP meeting space has more of a cozy living room kind of feeling to it.


Locker rooms, separate for men and women

Separate ladies and gentlemen locker rooms with hot and cold water facilities and lockers are available at the club.

And some nice amenities are awaiting you too


Praying room

Even though Bali is a pre-dominantly Hindu island, even here the tolerance for other cultures is visible. For Muslim visitors, there is a special praying room.

We are happy to assist you with bookings at the New Kuta Golf Course, but you may of course also make your own arrangements if you prefer.
Our additional tips:
You can easily combine this golf day with a trip to the famous Uluwatu temple which is only about a 5 minutes drive away. At 6 pm there is also a traditional Balinese kecak dance performance taking place at the Uluwatu temple with an amazing sunset as a backdrop.
We hope you like monkeys though, they are everywhere around the Uluwatu temple and surely appreciate the peanuts you bring for them.  They are not aggressive, but keep your belongings close to you, I have already seen monkeys sitting on the trees with sunglasses in their hands and frustrated visitors trying to convince them to give them back.
For the surfers among you, Dreamland and Balangan beaches are just a stone throw away as well.

Bali National Golf Club, BEST GOLF COURSE IN BALI AFTER 2014 RENOVATIONS

A Robin Nelson and Rodney Wright designed Hawaiian-styled golf course, BaliNational Golf Club re-opened in 2014 after undergoing extensive renovations. Bali National Golf Club is located at the southern tip of the island, Nusa Dua. It is only a short 5 minutes drive from Nusa Dua Beach Hotel & Spa.

The Bali golf course now features new Paspalum turf, with scalloped bunkering lining most fairways and elevated greens. Many of the newly routed holes have lengthened to championship distances as the course now plays to over 7,100 yards from the tips.
Spectacular views of Indian Ocean and the Nusa Dua area are afforded on practically every hole. Hand-built local stone walls have been incorporated into the golf course design to terrace the sides of fairways and tee boxes. This gives one the impression of being in the typical rice field terraces that characterize the Bali countryside.

Shared golf carts are compulsory and one caddy is provided for each golfer. The mature natural setting of Bali National Golf Club provides golfers with the best playing experience on the island.

Visit the Tour Desk to make your bookings when you arrive here.

Hole 1

A beautifly framed golf hole welcomes golfers on tee box 1, with two choices for one’s first drive of the day.    Big hitters may take on the waste bunker and sail out over the tree in centre fairway but a more conservative route can see one utilizing the generous right side fairway, where anywhere right of the “lone tree” should leave you with a reachable approach shot.

Hole 2

Let the games continue, a sharp dog leg right requires an accurately placed drive, with the optimum drive flying the right side bunker, a carry of 250 yards over mature trees from the Championship Tee, with lots of tree trouble on the right!  A well placed drive is rewarded with a short iron to the green.   

Hole 3

The uphill narrow fairway gets tighter for longer hitters and better to stay on the fairway’s left side to avoid the tree lined crevice on the right which ensures a blind approach shot!  A generous sized green protected by bunkers awaits which, depending on the pin position can make a one or two club difference to one’s approach shot!

Hole 4

A deceptive uphill 158 yard par 3, where, if in doubt, take one more club, being sure to avoid the stone wall terraces on the right.    Be warned, while putting avoid looking too often at the truly spectacular Gunung Agung, Bali’s highest volcanic peak!

Hole 5

 Hit it long and straight on this par 4, as your drive must be over the crest of the hill to have a view of the undulating green, awaiting you in the valley below.   The approach shot will most often be from a downhill lie, which requires you to focus on keeping your head down!

Hole 6

 A great par 3 hole, some 205 yards uphill from the back tee, where one’s selection of club is critical, as there is very often a swirling wind at the green, which has two distinct levels. Hitting the level where the pin is placed, will avoid a putting surprise or two, or three!   

Hole 7

A stunning vista of the ocean and Nusa Penida welcomes the golfer to an elevated tee box some 625 yards from the green.  One must focus on hitting the drive “down the middle” and get close to the right dogleg turn, which gives you a view of a still distant undulating kidney shaped green awaiting your skill with the putter!

Hole 8

 An accurate tee shot through a wooded ravine to a left sloping fairway, with OB along the right side, makes driving accuracy paramount here.  The pin placement on an elevated green, will determine the target landing area for your drive, which to score well, will need to be either right or left on the day.

Hole 9

The beautiful front nine finishing hole dictates a drive centre left of the fairway, to avoid the babling brook down the right side and ensure the best angle for your approach shot to an elevated island green.  Club selection for the approach shot is critical, as being either short or long can be “wet”!

Hole 10

The safe drive is to the center of the fairway but will leave you with an approach shot to a small target green over a deep greenside bunker. The “tiger” line is to carry the right side waste bunker off the tee, which will place one’s ball closer to the best angle for the approach shot to the green.

Hole 11

A dog leg par 5 awaits with a large pond and waste bunker to be cleared from the back tee, a 240 yard +/- carry and the second shot must not be right, as a lake awaits down the right side of the fairway to the green, perched on the lake edge!    

Hole 12

Good club selection together with a committed hit, are necessary on this spectacular par 3, where you must take on the lake to an elevated green, guarded by a deep green side bunker, left.

Hole 13

The preferred shot off the tee is to the right side of the fairway but the “reward” is a semi blind second shot and while the left side bunker from the tee can be carried, the penalty for being short is severe, in a “valley of death” bunker!  Having navigated the first two shots, your approach shot to a nestled green can also turn into a “minefield” on this 534 yard par 5. 

Hole 14

A straightaway par 4 with a good tee shot down the middle assures golfers of a downhill approach shot with a mid to low iron, to the elevated green sitting on the lake edge!   

Hole 15

A relatively short but strategic 393 yard par 4, with a lake carry from the tee box that could make for an interesting drive.    One must also remain in the centre of the fairway to assure yourself of good position for the approach shot to an elevated green.

Hole 16

A great test of golf awaits you on one of the toughest holes on the course.   A 534 yard par 5, almost always against the wind, with a draw required to clear the dogleg left on the second shot, from where you will enjoy a short approach shot to a well protected green, sitting amongst a large waste bunker on three sides!

Hole 17

The game breaker par 3, 17th hole, where playing for the first time, golfers may well ask, “where’s the fairway”!  Yes, your tee shot needs to be somewhat precise, as the tee box and green are the only pieces of dry land on the hole!    

Hole 18

A par 4, 408 yard dogleg left, draped by a lake and waste bunker all the way down the left side of the fairway, brings you to the 18th green directly in front of the clubhouse terrace, where many golfers will be watching both your approach shot over the lake and your par putts!
