Five-time Open Championship winner Peter Thomson designed the course with Michael Wolveridge and Ronald Fream.

The property sits at roughly 1,400 metres above sea level, giving it a substantially cooler climate than Bali's coastal resort areas. The golf course is integrated with the resort and remains the central sporting feature of the property.

Design Philosophy

Peter Thomson worked with Michael Wolveridge and Ronald Fream on the 18-hole layout, using the highland terrain rather than the tropical coastal setting typical of many later Indonesian resorts.

Today

Handara continues to combine its original golf course with resort accommodation at approximately 1,400 metres elevation.
