Ria Bintan Golf Club
Ria Bintan Golf Club is a 27-hole championship golf course designed by Gary Player. The 18-hole Ocean Course and the first nine holes of the 18-hole Forest Course opened for play in October 1998 and December 2000, respectively.\nThe Ocean golf course at Ria Bintan offers two distinct playing atmospheres. The course cuts through the native jungle of Riau, where you are more likely to come upon monkeys, small deer, or wild boar than other humans. It also has its seaside holes, and it's these holes will be best remembered by visiting golfers. At the par-five 7th (voted best par 5 in Asia), the sea revealed to the golfer halfway down the fairway. From here, you get closer to the sea via the short dogleg 8th and then play along with it at the par-three 9th. This famous hole, photographed extensively, is a must-play hole requiring a medium iron played over the beach to an archipelago green. The last view of the sea is the par-four 10th, where the beach parallels the fairway.\nRia Bintan's Ocean Course conditioning and presentation is the best in Indonesia and is as good as the best courses in nearby Singapore. The course measures 6,470 meters from the championship tees.\nRia Bintan Golf Club has made it to the official ranking of the Top 100 Golf Courses published by Golf Digest Magazine. Ria Bintan Golf club clinched first-winner awards in the Asian Golf Monthly Awards 2008 for Best Golf Course in Asia, Best Course in Indonesia, and Best Par 4 in Asia.\nOverall, Ria Bintan is one of the best course designs in Asia.\n\nempty

Laguna Golf Bintan
Laguna Golf Bintan set on 60-hectares on the shores of the Straits of Singapore. Initially designed by Greg Norman, the Bintan golf was brought up to modern standards in 2016 by Paul Jensen.All 18 green complexes revised, and bunkers have been reduced in number and better positioned to more strategic locations. Also, low maintenance features such as grass depressions, fairway tiers, and mounds have been added to enhance the playing strategy and shot variety. Wider fairways not only benefit average golfers but also open up new possibilities for serious golfers looking for birdie opportunities. However, accurate approach play is required to score well and avoid the longish grass found on most holes.\nThe Laguna Bintan layout, comprising two out-and-back 9-hole loops, is more undulating on the front-nine, flatter on the back, and contains some memorable holes. The golf course starts with unique sea views on the 2nd to 4th holes, then wraps around a series of lagoons on holes 6 to 8. The 9th is another challenging hole as it plays long and uphill back towards the clubhouse.\nThe back nine plays on the other side of the resort and opens with holes 10 to 15 playing through dense jungle and the unique rock outcroppings. The highlight of the golf course is the long par-4 sixteenth through the forest back towards the sea. The signature hole is the 17th. The spectacular and tough par-3 requires a shot across the beach, over an impressive rocky shore and onto a tree-surrounded and well-guarded green. The impact of this visually intimidating hole eased by the beautiful backdrop of the sea and the Banyan Tree Resort on the hillside.\nThe traditional Indonesian-style clubhouse sits at the highest point of the property and looks out over the golf course. Refurbished in 2016, it retains much of the tropical island design feel, modern luxuries and conveniences have been added to pamper all golfers. The terrace café offers a selection of local and international dishes catered as part of the Banyan Tree. A well-stocked pro shop has a decent selection of logoed golf apparel, supplies, and equipment.\n\nempty
