Why it matters
Why Laguna Bintan Golf Club is worth your time
Golf is a major draw of Bintan Resorts. The resorts were developed from 1990, and Wikipedia names two courses, Laguna Bintan near Nirwana Gardens and Ria Bintan Golf Club further east.
For Indian visitors the attraction is a resort-grade course close to Singapore at a lower cost than Singapore itself. The rates in guides are dated, though, so check them. Non-golfers do not need to make the course part of the trip.

How to experience it
Laguna Bintan is the best-known course in the area and lies near Nirwana Gardens. Book through your resort or the club and confirm tee times, buggy use and caddie arrangements in advance.
Start early, because mid-morning heat and afternoon showers shorten the playing window. Ask about rain policies, and whether clubs can be hired if you do not travel with your own.
The other named course in the resorts is Ria Bintan Golf Club in the eastern part of the area. If you are a non-golfing partner, ask your resort about activities such as spa, beach or Treasure Bay for the same morning.
Plan with confidence
Event-led places reward a little planning.
- Book tee times in advance
