Playing the Ocean
Course
Taking your eyes off the captivating scenery will be
a challenge at the Ria Bintan, and the Gary Player designed
course is no walk in the park. The most scenic and challenging
hole is the par three ninth where players have to drive
over a sea inlet. The inherent natural beauty of the
mature woodland and windswept beaches have been retained
and enhanced to bring visitors closer to nature.
