Handara Golf & Resort Bali is a mountain golf resort located near Bedugul with a world-class difference. The first golf & country club resort to open in Bali was voted by Golf Magazine as ‘One of the 50 Greatest Golf Courses in the World.’ The 18-hole, par-72 championship Handara golf course was masterfully designed by five-time British Open champion Peter Thomson as well as Michael Wolveridge and Ronald Fream. Handara is considered to be one of the toughest golf courses in Asia.

What makes Handara Golf so unique is its location in the central highlands of Bali, at an altitude of 1,142 meters above sea level, making it the coolest golf course in Bali with temperatures ranging from 14 to 24 Celsius. Nestled inside the crater of an extinct volcano, the views offer lush green mountains, crater lakes, and equatorial rain forests. The abundance of natural beauty creates scenic backdrops for a round at one of the best golf courses in Bali.
