A very short par 4 designed along the seashore. It is not difficult, but the beauty of the cobalt blue sea is extremely impressive and almost overwhelming.

Very challenging as the fairway gets narrower closer to the green. To make matters even worse or more stimulating, impressive coconut trees bound both sides of the fairway. The second shot is a sharp uphill, with 5 or 6 deep bunkers surrounding the green. Pinpoint accuracy is required to keep your score low on this hole.

A very tough uphill Par 5. It is long and you probably use a middle iron to hit your approach shot to the elevated green. The green is difficult to putt due to the undulations. A par here is worth a birdie on my book.

Well-placed six coffin bunkers slide across the fairway from 230 yards to 290 yards off the tee. Draw ball hitters have an advantage here. The elevated green has moderate undulations. Fun green to putt on.

A slight right dogleg with a gentle uphill second shot. One must have a good control of the tee shot as the landing area is very tight. Should always provide a challenging experience, it was fun just imagining what type of tee shot to hit. On the second shot and thereafter, you need to be very careful as numerous pot bunkers await your errant shots.

From Lombok airport, it takes about 45 minutes to get to the course. The hop between Bali and Lombok is mere 25 minutes. On your way back, I recommend to go back through the ocean way, as it offers beautiful scenery. It is definitely worth extra 20 minutes. You can play here on a day trip from Bali. Also, Lombok Island has a direct flight from Singapore 3 times a week. If you have spare time, I recommend the “Pool Villa Club” which is a 2 story villa in Shenggig Beach Hotel. It is a bit expensive as the rooms go for about US$ 350, but not that bad as rooms are big enough for 4 to 5 people with extra beds. Each room has direct access to the swimming pool, and there is an outdoor Jacuzzi. Room amenities are nice and you can enjoy the relaxing hotel life. At the Indonesian style French restaurant on sight, all the meals are reasonable and delicious. The Sheraton Hotel near by is also popular.

Peter Thomson and his team designed the sister course, Bali Handra Kosaido GC about 30 years before designing this course. Comparing both courses, I feel this course has a better layout. They designed it well, fully utilizing geographical advantages making it a challenging experience. Also, the club staffs are impressively simple and positive.

The course architects, Peter Thomson (Thomson, Wolveridge & Perret) designed other courses is Indonesia are Jagorawi G&CC, Fina G&CC, Gunung Geulis CC, Bali Handara Kosaido CC and Mountain View GC.
