Golfing
in Bintan is unlike golfing elsewhere.
Four great golf courses, designed by golfing
luminaries, Jack
Nicklaus, Gary Player, Ian Baker-Finch
and Greg Norman,
offer a unique golfing experience for golfers
from beginners to professionals.
Nestled
within the rain forest, rolling fairways
on hill sides, and with many holes skirting
the white-sand beaches of Bintan Resorts,
golfers cannot be blamed for being distracted
by the serenity of the rain forest lining
the fairways and the beautiful ocean view
each time they step up on the tee box to
take a shot. There are not many places where
you can golf without seeing tall buildings,
hear traffic noise or have aeroplanes
flying overhead. Bintan is one of them!
Bintan
Lagoon Golf Club boasts 2 championship courses,
one designed by Jack Nicklaus, and the other
by Ian-Baker Finch. It is located in Bintan
Lagoon Resort, within walking distance from
the 416 room Bintan
Lagoon Resort and the Bintan Lagoon Resort
Villas.
Laguna
Bintan Golf Club is an 18-hole course designed
by Greg Norman. The Golf Course is part
of Laguna Bintan which houses the Banyan
Tree Bintan and the Angsana Resort and Spa.
Ria
Bintan Golf Club comprises an 18-hole Championship
Ocean Course plus a 9-hole Forest Course.

Golfing

As a resort golf destination, it is seldom
crowded. If playing 18-holes is not enough
to satisfy your appetite, take up the unlimited
golfing packages available on certain days

in Bintan golf courses. Special packages

from you, leaving you free to enjoy your
