Its reputation for offering world-class conditions, challenging holes, and world-class amenities has cemented New Kuta Golf as a must-play for any serious golfer visiting Bali.
Course Layout & Design
The New Kuta Golf course stretches over 6,832 meters (7,470 yards) and winds through the rugged coastal landscape of Bali’s Bukit region. Its distinctive links-style layout features wide, windswept fairways, thick native grasses, and strategically placed pot bunkers that demand precision and thoughtful course management. Several holes run dramatically along the cliffs overlooking the Indian Ocean, where coastal breezes can significantly affect club selection and shot placement. The front nine is characterized by its challenging elevation changes and rolling fairways, while the back nine offers spectacular cliffside holes that rank among the most scenic in Asia. The design rewards both bold play and tactical strategy, ensuring every round is unique and exhilarating.
Signature holes include:
- Hole 6 – A long par-5 dogleg left with a blind tee shot and deep bunkers protecting the landing area, requiring both distance and accuracy.
- Hole 14 – A stunning par-3 with an elevated tee shot directly over the crashing waves of the Indian Ocean to a narrow green surrounded by bunkers and cliffs.
- Hole 17 – A dramatic par-4 with breathtaking views of Dreamland Beach; this hole demands a precise drive followed by an approach to a well-guarded green perched on the cliffs.
