The course is also a famous golf course designed by the Golfplan team led by Ronald Frame, who has designed about 200 courses in 60 countries.

<Selected comments from golfers>

The cliff sea view on holes 14 and 15 is invincible!

A must-play in Indonesia, don't miss it.

The greens are very fast, and there will be traffic jams when there are many people, so it is better to go on weekdays.

This is an interesting course, because it is a mountain course, so it requires accurate shots

<Selected comments from golfers>

Similar to Yunnan, very cool.

Although it is a mountain course, the ups and downs are not big and not too tiring.

Everything is good except the distance. It is easy to fog up during the rainy season, and it is blind.

Bukit Pandawa Golf & Country Club

<Features>

Bali's newest authentic golf course, opened in late 2016

Links course on the top of a cliff, with sea views from every hole

The holes at Bukit Pandawa Golf Course are all short, but if you play from the black tee, many of the holes are over 200 yards!

Therefore, some holes can be played with a 7-wood, a 5-wood, and some can even be played with a driver!

The greens are the best in Bali, well maintained and very beautiful!

<Selected comments from golfers>

All par 3 holes, you can finish them in about three hours if you play fast.

The longest hole is also 200m, so long-hitting masters may not be able to adapt.

Bali Self-driving

Driving in Bali is a popular way to travel, allowing travelers to explore the island's charming scenery and unique culture more deeply. However, since many locals are accustomed to parking their vehicles on the roadside, the road space will appear to be relatively narrow. In addition, you need to be extra careful when driving, such as motorcyclists, pedestrians, and buses, because they may pass from any direction and are ready to cut in at any time.

Notes:

1. Vehicles drive on the left.

2. Urban roads are generally narrow, with mixed types of vehicles and a rough driving style, so you need to drive carefully.

3. Rural roads are mostly two-lane, and lack road signs and street lights.

4. Traffic lights often do not work, and even if they do, local drivers often ignore them.

5. Fines are usually imposed on vehicles that violate traffic rules, and usually need to be paid in cash in Indonesian rupiah on site.

6. Vehicles in the roundabout have priority, and other vehicles must give way.

7. When turning left, you need to turn on the signal light in advance, and other vehicles will stop and give way.

8. Local drivers sometimes use the shoulder to overtake.

9. The speed limit in the city is 50 km/h, the speed limit on ordinary roads is 80 km/h, and the speed limit on highways is 100 km/h.

10. There are few toll highways, mainly concentrated around large cities such as Jakarta. The fee depends on the vehicle model and the distance, and some sections can reach tens of thousands of Indonesian rupiah.

11. When the light is red, if there is a left turn signal light, you can turn left.

12. Some gas stations in major cities are open 24 hours a day, and most of them are open from 08:00 to 20:00. Some roadside shops in Bali also sell bottled gasoline.

Tips for golf in Bali

1.  When talking about prices in Indonesia, the 0 after the thousandth place is often omitted. 1000000 is called 1000K, also called "a piece". Exchange rate conversion: 1 US dollar ≈ 16,348 Indonesian rupiah (taking the exchange rate on January 21 as an example)

2. Locals mainly ride motorcycles and drive on the left. Be careful of local traffic conditions when going out. If you rent a car, Blue Bird is recommended as a regular taxi brand. It is recommended to write the place you want to go in English (better in Indonesian) on paper or on your mobile phone in advance, and show it to the driver after getting in the car to avoid mistakes. Traffic is congested, so plan the tee time in advance.

3. Reference tip for caddies starts at 300,000 Indonesian rupiah. Usually a 1-to-1 caddie, a two-seater golf cart. If there are 3 people, 3 people will have 2 golf carts and 1 person will have 1 caddy. No need to make up for the difference in bicycles.

4.  It is recommended to bring your own golf balls. There are specialty stores but the price-performance ratio is not high.

5. Except for Handala, which is at a high altitude, other areas are very hot.  It is recommended to take good sun protection and bring hats and sunscreen.

6. There are many mosquitoes and flies, so prepare mosquito repellent and mosquito bite ointment. It is recommended to prepare drugs to prevent diarrhea to avoid diarrhea caused by acclimatization and other reasons.

7. Practical information:

The voltage in Bali is 220V, and you need to bring a conversion plug. Smoking is prohibited in hotel rooms and public places (smoking is allowed on the balcony of the hotel room, but please flush the cigarette butts with the toilet and do not throw them in the trash can).

8. It is recommended that you try to drink mineral water in the local area. In Indonesia, locals usually do not drink tap water, but buy bottled water or boil water before drinking. To ensure safety, you should also use purified water to brush your teeth and avoid eating ice cubes made from non-purified water. Some hotels provide guests with purified water, which can be used to refill reusable water bottles.
