The 450-yard, par 4, 3rd doglegs left, its fairway being divided by a stream that rushes off the mountain behind. The stream winds its way along the right of the first fairway, cutting it off from the shorter second fairway, offset to the right. The second shot must carry across the water to the long green far beyond.

The 15th, a par 5 of 500 yards, is both demanding and memorable. A bunker sitting right in the heart of the fairway. One of the few sandtraps on the course that confounds reckless tee shots. It is not easy to conquer this one in two shots. However, big hitters may manage the distance.

Opening in 1974, Bali Handara was masterfully designed by international golfing architect Peter Thompson. It was the first 18-hole course in Bali to capture the tourist market and cater for domestic businessmen.

In 1981, Golf Magazine named it as ‘One of the 50 Greatest Holes in the World’ and since then it has enjoyed a reputation of being a panoramic green. The 100-hectare course is fairly demanding with the longest green in Bali.

It boasts a remarkable variety of trees and plants and has a stunning view of the mystical Bunyan Lake. The clear scenery and mountain backdrop creates a relaxed environment and players don’t seem overly taxed by the course or its conditions.
