Bali, Indonesia
Who doesn’t love Bali? The island doesn’t have many courses, what with the never-ending delay in the redevelopment of the legendary Nirwana Golf Resort.
But the magical island still host one of the best championship golf courses in Indonesia, the Bali National Golf Club located at the heart of Nusa Dua. Pair the great golf experience with sunny beach, mystical temples and ancient arts to make your trip a most memorable one.

The front nine holes of the course offer stunning views of the Indian Ocean and are designed to challenge golfers of all levels.
