About the course

A cool round in the mountains

Handara is the oldest golf resort in Bali, set on a natural plateau about 1,140 metres above sea level inside an ancient volcanic crater. The 18-hole, par-72 course was designed by Peter Thomson, five-time winner of The Open Championship.

Up here the air is noticeably cooler than on the coast, the fairways are lined with pines and tropical forest, and the lakes of Bedugul are a short drive away.

It is a full-day trip from south Bali — about two to two and a half hours each way — so we start early and have you back by evening. If you would rather stay a night in the mountains, ask about the Handara Stay & Play package.
