Bali’s three golf courses are as diverse as the island itself. Amanusa offers guests complimentary use of its golf clubs. The Bali Golf and Country Club, recognised as one of Asia’s top five courses, lies adjacent to Amanusa. Designed by Robin Nelson and Rodney Wright, the championship 18-hole course enjoys a scenic seaside setting. Amanusa guests enjoy a priority reservation system at the Bali Golf and Country Club and may sign all charges to their Amanusa account. Club facilities include a driving range, putting and chipping greens and a pro shop.
The Nirwana Bali Golf Club, an hour’s drive from Amanusa, is located in the Tabanan Regency on the island’s west coast. Former British Open champion Greg Norman designed the championship course. Offering one of Asia’s most visually arresting settings, the Nirwana Bali Golf Club plays through rice paddies, tropical forest, gardens and creeks.
An hour and a half’s drive from Amanusa, the Bali Handara Country Club is set in an extinct volcano. Acclaimed as one of the world’s most beautiful golf courses, it was designed by Peter Thomson and Graham Wolveridge. The championship course’s 18 holes lie amidst mountains and rainforest, and its lush green fairways overlook distant Lake Buyan.
