Origins

SouthLinks was developed on Batam with a design by Japanese architect Hisamitsu Ohnishi and officially opened on 18 April 1996.

Design Philosophy

Ohnishi explicitly drew on the idea of traditional links golf, adapting links-style concepts to Batam's tropical climate and coastal setting while working with existing woodland and undulating land.

Development

The club reports that optional greens and additional tee boxes have been added over time. Lighting on the final four holes permits play later in the day.

Today

The course remains an 18-hole par-72 layout with four principal tee lengths. Buggy and caddie use is mandatory.
