The Gary Player designed Ria Bintan has long been one of the premier golfing destinations in the Riau Islands. The stunning 18 hole Ocean Course cuts through the native tropical forests that surround the property on the outward nine that reaches a crescendo at the gorgeous but challenging trio of holes 7 through 9. Greens and tee boxes perched on rocky outcrops, framed by the azure blue waters of the South China Sea will certainly leave a lasting impression on any golfer who passes by. The rest of the 7000 yard championship course, after stunning Hole 10 along a stretch of pristine beach and ocean waves, move away from the ocean vistas but make no mistake, it’s still a wonderfully crafted masterpiece by Mr. Player. 

For those who only fancy a 9 hole jaunt, the tamer and more welcoming Forest Course may be up your alley. Wider, more generous fairways and much simpler greens offer the uninitiated recreational golfer a far less daunting experience. The clubhouse facilities include a restaurant, pro shop, spa, driving range and even a 27 room lodge for those who wish to stay onsite.
