Designed by legendary architect Gary Player, Ria Bintan Golf Club is a world-class 27-hole championship venue widely recognized as one of the finest course designs in Asia. The property features the 18-hole Ocean Course (opened in 1998) and a 9-hole Forest Course loop (opened in 2000). Highly decorated, the club has earned a spot in Golf Digest's official "Top 100 Golf Courses" and swept the Asian Golf Monthly Awards for Best Golf Course in Asia and Best Course in Indonesia.

The Ocean Course: Jungle to Seaside

Stretching 6,470 meters from the championship tees, the Ocean Course matches the elite conditioning and presentation of Singapore's top tracks. It seamlessly contrasts two distinct environments:

• The Jungle Stretch: The routing cuts through thick, native Riau rainforest, where golfers frequently encounter local wildlife like monkeys, small deer, and wild boar.

• The Ocean Stretch: The course transitions into a spectacular, globally celebrated coastal run:

  • 7th Hole: A magnificent par-5—previously voted the best par-5 in Asia—where the ocean dramatically reveals itself halfway down the fairway.

  • 8th Hole: A short, tactical dogleg that draws players closer to the coast.

  • 9th Hole (Signature): An iconic, heavily photographed par-3 that requires a mid-iron carry over the beach to an archipelago green.

  • 10th Hole: A beautiful par-4 where the beach runs parallel to the fairway, offering a final view of the sea.
