About Bali Handara Golf & Country Club Golf Course

Bali Handara Golf and Country Club is one of Southeast Asia's most dramatically situated golf courses, laid out within the caldera of an ancient volcanic crater in Bali's central highlands. At an elevation of 1,200 metres, the course enjoys a cool, misty climate entirely unlike the tropical heat of Bali's coastal resort belt — mornings frequently drift in thick volcanic mist before the midday sun burns through to reveal extraordinary views of the surrounding crater walls and forest. Designed by Australian architects Peter Thomson and Michael Wolveridge and opened in 1974, the course integrates a natural ravine, tropical ferns, and dense highland vegetation into a layout that feels like no other place on earth. The setting is routinely cited among the world's most beautiful golf environments, and the iconic wooden gate entry — photographed by millions of Instagram visitors — has made Bali Handara one of Asia's most recognisable golf images. Despite its fame, the course itself is a genuine test of golf, with the altitude affecting ball flight and the mist-laden air creating unusual playing conditions.
