The Course
New Kuta Golf is a new golf course set on the 85 hectares land right on the limestone cliff with stunning view of the Indian Ocean. It is a great golf course with 18 holes located 20 minutes drive from Bali's International Airport to the southern part of Bali and blessed the magnificent of sunset. New Kuta Golf is designed with four of tees for each of the 18 holes there's enough variety to ensure a satisfying for all skill levels. The golf course will invite you to experience this championship layout firsthand to discover much more than just a golf course. The New Kuta Golf is new golf course built in Bali and it is located in Pecatu Indah Resort Area, Jimbaran, Kuta Bali. This new golf course is strategically located beside of the main road from Bali’s International Airport to Uluwatu Temple. This new golf course is set in the seashore with hill as a backdrop located in the east side of this course and the wide blue Indian Ocean apposite it.
The course is centerpiece of a resort development that will eventually boast hotels, villas, restaurants and shops. The Ritz Carlton and Four Seasons Jimbaran Bay are already nearby; both have arrangements for guests to play New Kuta, site of the 2009 Indonesian Open. Golfplan partner David Dale believes that New Kuta, with its native vegetation sitting along the edges of fairways, will remind many of another tournament venue, the Plantation Course at the Kapalua Resort in Hawaii, where the PGA Tour holds its Mercedes Championship each January. What visitors will find when they return to Bali's Pecatu region, located south of Jimbaran, is a semi-arid landscape with unsurpassed sunsets along Dreamland Beach. The surrounding rugged terrain reminds many of what they might find in the American Southwest, Tunisia, or drier portions of South Africa. The surprised Golfplan staff was cautiously optimistic in 2007, when notified of the progress. Nine holes had been completed before the office had been contacted. However, in a testament to the accuracy of Golfplan's construction drawings, these holes were found to be quite good and in line with the original design intent of the project.
Golfplan-Fream, Dale & Ramsey specialize in the exotic. They are golf's most well traveled course designers, with projects now in some stage of development in 21 different countries worldwide. Since its formation in 1972, by founder Ron Fream, the firm has built some of the world's most celebrated courses, in some of golf's most exotic locations: Pezula, on South African cliffs overlooking the Indian Ocean; Bali Handara and Jagorawi, in the tropical jungles of Indonesia; Shore Gate, in the storied sand hills just a few miles from Pine Valley and the boardwalks of Atlantic City, New Jersey, in the United States; the 27 holes at Disneyland Paris; the mountainous Bonari Kogen GC, Japan's top-rated resort course; and The Club at Nine Bridges in Korea, host to the Samsung World Championship and now firmly ensconced on the world Top 100 lists at both Golf Digest and Golf Magazine. Dale and partner Kevin Ramsey are based out of Golfplan's U.S. headquarters in Santa Rosa, Calif., while the famously globetrotting Fream now operates a satellite office from his home in Johor Bahru, just over the border from Singapore in Malaysia. Golfplan has recently been retained to handle the renovation work at Singapore Island Country Club. The firm recently retooled the Serapong Course on the Island of Sentosa, which sits in Singapore Harbor. The Serapong is current host of the Barclay's Singapore Open and was recently named the top tournament course in all of Asia by Asian Golf Monthly magazine. |
