Unique Appeal and Signature Features of New Kuta Golf
Historical Highlights
“The only golf course in Indonesia designed by Ronald Fream — an architect trained in Scotland, the birthplace of golf!”
According to GoGolf, New Kuta Golf is one of the most iconic golf courses in Indonesia. Located within the exclusive Pecatu Indah Resort on the southwestern tip of the Bukit Peninsula, this course sits atop towering limestone cliffs directly facing the Indian Ocean. It offers golf that is not only technically demanding but also visually stunning, with panoramic views of Dreamland Beach and Balangan Beach.
The course was designed by world-renowned architects Ronald Fream, David Dale, and Kevin Ramsey. Its links-style concept is extremely rare in Indonesia, making New Kuta Golf the first true links-style layout in the country. Links courses—rooted in Scotland and England—are known for their use of natural landscapes with minimal modification, rolling fairways, unpredictable winds, and challenging coastal conditions.
Covering 85 hectares with a total length of 6,832 meters, the course features 18 holes (par 72) with a combination of technical complexity and striking visuals. Holes 14, 15, and 16 are famously called the “Amen Corner” of New Kuta Golf due to their extreme cliffside positioning and the high level of precision required.
Its convenient location — just 20 minutes from Ngurah Rai International Airport — further elevates its appeal, making it a top choice for both domestic and international golfers looking for world-class golf without long travel times.

Signature Holes: Coastal Challenges on the Edge of the Indian Ocean
According to GoGolf, the three most iconic and challenging holes at New Kuta Golf are Hole 14, Hole 15, and Hole 16. Each offers dramatic ocean views and cliffside contours that elevate the adrenaline of every shot.
Hole 14 – Par 4
A downhill par 4 with an exposed green set right at the edge of the cliff. Deep bunkers protect the approach, demanding accuracy and thoughtful club selection.
Hole 15 – Par 3 “Cliff Hanger”
The signature hole of New Kuta Golf. This par 3 features sheer cliffs to the left and powerful coastal winds that significantly affect ball flight. It is known as “Cliff Hanger” for its extreme risk-reward layout and jaw-dropping scenery.
Hole 16 – Par 4
A long par 4 requiring a precise tee shot to the right side of the fairway. The approach is played into a small, protected green with natural hazards all around. A slight miscalculation can send the ball tumbling into the ravine or directly into the ocean.
These three holes are not only favourites among professionals but also serve as the backdrop for some of the most photogenic golf images in Bali.
