Nestled along the breathtaking coastline of Ria Bintan Golf Club, Ria Bintan Golf Club is a world-class 27-hole championship golf destination designed by legendary golfer and architect Gary Player. The club features the acclaimed 18-hole Ocean Course and the Forest Course, combining lush tropical landscapes with dramatic coastal scenery to create one of Asia’s most memorable golfing experiences.
The Ocean Course is celebrated for its remarkable diversity, seamlessly blending dense native rainforest with spectacular oceanfront holes. Golfers will enjoy playing through tranquil jungle surroundings where local wildlife, including monkeys and deer, can occasionally be spotted before emerging onto stunning seaside fairways overlooking the South China Sea. This unique contrast between forest and coastline gives the course an unforgettable character unlike any other in the region.
Among its most iconic holes are the spectacular finishing stretch along the coast. The award-winning par-5 seventh hole gradually reveals sweeping ocean views as players progress down the fairway, followed by a scenic dogleg eighth and the famous par-3 ninth. Widely regarded as one of Asia’s signature golf holes, the ninth requires a precise tee shot over a sandy beach to a beautifully positioned island-style green surrounded by breathtaking coastal views. The ocean remains a constant companion through the par-4 tenth, adding both beauty and strategic challenge.
Measuring approximately 6,470 meters from the championship tees, the Ocean Course is renowned for its immaculate conditioning, fast greens, and exceptional presentation. Every hole has been carefully maintained to international standards, providing a premium playing surface that consistently ranks among the finest in Indonesia and Southeast Asia.
Ria Bintan Golf Club has earned numerous prestigious accolades, including recognition in Golf Digest’s Top 100 Golf Courses and multiple Asian Golf Monthly Awards for Best Golf Course in Asia, Best Golf Course in Indonesia, and Best Par-4 in Asia. These achievements reflect the club’s commitment to excellence in course design, maintenance, and overall golfing experience.
Combining championship-quality golf, award-winning design, and spectacular island scenery, Ria Bintan Golf Club stands as one of the premier golf destinations in Asia. Whether for competitive golfers or those simply seeking an unforgettable round in a tropical paradise, it offers an exceptional golfing experience that consistently ranks among the very best in the region.
