Just 45 kilometres south-east of Singapore is the treasured Indonesian island of Bintan. Located just 55 minutes away by comfortable ferry from Singapore, Bintan is a world apart from this lively city, basking in the sparkling clear waters of the South China Sea. Bintan is an ideal getaway for those wishing to relax, unwind and enjoy a great golf holiday.

Golfing here is in a league of its own, unmatched by any other in the region. The Bintan Lagoon Resort boasts 2 championship courses, which together with the Greg Norman Banyan Tree course, and a Gary Player designed course, promises to make your golfing holiday an unforgettable experience.

Why not mix the laid back charm of Bintan with a few days in vibrant Singapore to get a real flavour of all the East has to offer.
