Handara Golf Resort Bali

Til trods for at klubben på både hjemmeside og de sociale medier skriver at der er tale om en mesterskabsbane, så lever banen desværre slet ikke op til det på nuværende tidspunkt. Vi spillede banen i start juli 2026 og her var 4 greens under konstruktion og der var dermed lavet midlertidige greens. Disse var dog af så ringe kvalitet at det udgjorde en stor del af den samlede oplevelse. Klubben gjorde intet for at informere os om dette inden vores besøg eller da vi ankom. Da vi efter vores runde gik til receptionen, så hentede hun et skilt frem som beskrev at de havde midlertidige greens. Dette skilt stod ikke fremme. 4 forskellige caddies fortalte os at de midlertidige greens havde været der i mere end 1 år, så dette var ikke nyt.

I played with my two suns and three caddys (compulsory). Really enjoyed the golf course and the caddies were good fun and very helpful, especially with reading the greens. Stunning views and beautiful tropical plants and trees on the course. Big clubhouse with luxury locker rooms. Rental clubs good quality but no stiff shaft available. Most of the greens were too firm and some of them very bumpy. There were 4 temporary greens, so they recognise there is a major issue here. The 10% discount in my view is not enough to compensate for this. You still pay €105 green fee (incl buggy and caddy). If they fix this, than the full green fee is worth it.

Beautiful surroundings, the course itself is also beautiful, quite open and easy. Fairways and greens aren’t in great condition. Not sure if this is because of the climate (?). Caddy was great, rental clubs were of good quality. Hotel is good, breakfast average. I did not play a second round as I felt I saw and experienced enough.

Tijdens onze vakantie in Bali (Noord Kust) hebben we 2 dagen gelogeerd in het Handara resort. We 2X gegolfd. Het resort is wat verouderd, maar men is druk bezig met renovatie werkzaamheden. Golfen is verplicht met 2 caddies en een car. De caddies (2 jonge dames) waren een aardige toevoeging voor voor de greens. We zagen het voordurend volledig fout, afstand, snelheid en richting. de tweede dag werd daarom ook veel beter gespeeld. Er kon gespeeld worden vanaf zwart blauw wit en rood. De Handicap tabellen klopten niet echt. de fairways waren met ruw gras en ballen rolden niet echt door. De baan, greens , tee, etc. waren wel mooi verzorgd. De locatie is wel uniek, baan verder vrij simpel, maar wel met leuke ritjes door prachtige natuur!

Beautiful setting in the mountains of Bali. course conditions slightly rough by US private course standards but pretty good for third world conditions.
