Destination Golf - June 2017 * | Page 54

around terraced rice paddies and across a limestone clifftop overlooking spectacular white-sand beaches and the Indian Ocean, Bukit Pandawa Golf & Country Club is the first golf course of its kind on Bali if not all of Southeast Asia. While the par-54 layout is a time-saver – a typical round lasts just 135 minutes – it is not short on challenge or distraction, with an abundance of bunkers and strategically placed waterfalls sprinkled into the latest Bob Moore creation. The 13th hole is framed by three bunkers and features curved stone walls in the foreground and an ornate Kul Kul tower and the Indian Ocean in the background has now got its name as the course’s signature hole. The club is the centerpiece of an expansive development that will include several 5-star 54 Destination Golf .TRAVEL hotels, including a Waldorf Astoria, Mandarin Oriental and Swissôtel. It comes as no surprise, that Bukit Pandawa has been nominated by the World Golf Awards, which will take place at La Manga Resort in Spain later this year. They have been voted as one of the World’s best par-3 courses. The team at Destination Golf couldn’t agree more, they certainly have our vote!
