Batam Island golf courses

Batam HIlls Golf Resort on the Indonesian Batam Island, previously known as Paradise Bay has undergone a transformation since the new owners took over in 2006.  The Batam Hills Golf Resort is located on the west of the island, in part of the Waterfront City development. To get to the course is relatively straightforward by ferry and then a short drive across the island which offers some spectacular views.

Unfortunately this course no longer accepts bookings from agents.

Indah Puri Golf Resort, was established in 1993, on the Island of Batam, just off the coast of Singapore.  Located in the Sekupang region of Batam, Indah Puri was designed by Ronald Fream and is just a 30-minute drive from Batam Centre Ferry Terminal.  It’s very easy to book tickets for the regular ferry service, which takes passengers to and from Batam island, from Singapore.  There are also packages available, which include transfers to Indah Puri on arrival at the ferry terminal, making it a straight forward and pleasant journey to the golf course.

Located in the heart of Batam City, on the small Batam Island in Indonesia lies an incredible golf course that is an absolute must play if you are in the area.

Padang Golf Sukajadi is an 18-hole championship course, designed originally by Thomson, Wolveridge and Perrett, and later remodelled by PT. Flora Tjipta Sarana.

A semi-private club, the course measures 6,340 meters and has several different teeing options making the course open to all levels and abilities of golfers.

Palm Springs Golf Club on Batam Island in Indonesia is just a short ferry ride from Singapore’s Tanah Merah Ferry terminal which is very close to Changi Airport.  When you arrive at Nongsapura Ferry Terminal it’s a 5-minute bus ride to the clubhouse which overlooks a very pretty palm-fringed beach. 

The course features three excellent 9-hole layouts – Palm Courses, Resort Course and the Island Course and each of these layouts offer a very different challenge and whichever combination of nines you play to make up your round you will have a great day out.

Southlinks Golf Course is an 18-hole championship golf course located a short distance from Singapore on the tropical island of Batam. The course was originally designed by Hisamitsu Ohnishi, one of Japan’s best known golf courses designers and he did an excellent job of using the natural features of the land without destroying too much of the natural environment.  The owners have continued to improve the course and recently added floodlights on the last four holes to slightly extend the playing time.

Tamarin Santana Golf Club is a Jack Nicklaus designed 9-hole par 36 course located in the Nongsa Resorts area on the north-eastern tip of Batam Island. It features an attractive undulating layout with trees lining most fairways. There are well-placed  water hazards, narrow landing areas and quite quick and  well bunkered greens.  The course has great transport links and has become famous on the island for the impressive design and use of the natural terrain. 

A par 36, 9-hole course Tamarin Santana Golf Course is a signature design of golfing legend Jack Nicklaus.

The name Greg Norman, is known throughout the world of golf.  Not only was the Australian a great golfer in his own right, he is now established as one of the leading golf course designers in the world.  Whichever continent you care to look at, Norman has designed a course and Asia is no different.  Back in 1995, Norman designed a course on the island of Batam, a short ferry ride from the shore of Singapore, called Tering Bay Golf and Country Club.  Located in the Nongsa region of Batam, the north eastern side of the island, there are transfers available from the ferry stop on the island, directly to the golf course.
