Agung on a clear day. The first half of the course has several water spots, creeks, and waterfalls; and small, hand-built stone walls line the sides of the tees and fairways, resembling the rice field terraces of Bali.

Holes 10-16 are played through a coconut grove with some of the palms as high as 100 feet. Holes 17and 18 are played along the beachside and back toward a 16 acre lake.
At the end of a round, golfers can indulge in a relaxing and exhilarating massage or spa treatment at The Spa at Bali Golf & Country Club.

LOMBOK KOSAIDO COUNTRY CLUB


Gracefully situated in the northwestern region of Lombok Island beside the beautiful blue waters of Sire Bay lies Lombok Golf Kosaido Country Club. As picturesque as any artist's canvas to behold, Kosaido renders an atmosphere of serenity and calm. The fairway landform is gently undulating, mild breezes come off the sea, and dappled shade from the palm-leaf canopy overhead completes the pleasant picture. Greens are generous in size and as smooth and firm as the top of a billiard-table. They are guarded by numerous bunkers of various depth and size, ensuring a none-too-easy path to the flags.

Masterfully designed by Peter Thompson, Michael Wolveridge and Perrett, the course reflects an architectural philosophy that deeply respects and maintains the natural on-site contours of the land. Inland, the golf course offers a stunning panorama of the Rinjani mountain range, and towards the ocean, the Gili islands shimmer in the blue waters across the bay.

HISTORY AND VISION


Bali Vacation Golf Leisure(BVGL) was originally establish as a specialist agent selling golf packages in East Java to tourist, ex-pats and nationals based in Bali. A simple and logical extension to this service was for BVGL also to promote golf tours and packages in Bali to those based in Java.

All very keen golfers themselves, the directors set out with the concept of supplying “the complete service for the golfer in Bali”, anticipating from first hand experience all the needs of the vacationing golfer, however the extent of the BVGL service has extended far beyond Bali’s shoreline.

Our initial choice of bright attractive uniforms and good looking staff to greet each client on arrival, has snowballed to include cold towels and drinks at the airport, accompanied transfers and prearranged check ins at hotels and even our own highly professional escort service to ensure that our clients are not left with nothing to do after their busy day out on the links.

The success of this service has meant that we now find ourselves agents and directly to clients from abroad especially from within ASIA but also from USA, Australia and Europe.

What Bali Vacation Golf Leisure(BVGL) aims to achieve through this service, is to substantially increase the following:
1.The number of foreigner golfer playing in Indonesia.
2.The number of foreigner to Indonesia each year by our clients.
3.The number of times each of our clients plays per visit to Indonesia.

We intend to achieve this by offering better and better rates to our clients as the popularity of the service grows and to introduce frequent play packages to returning clients so that each round they play becomes better and better value.

The management of Bali Vacation Golf Leisure(BVGL) has very close links with the numerous golf courses in and around Bali and East Java and is continually working with their management to introduce new incentives and special offers to encourage play.

Bali Vacation Golf Leisure(BVGL) advertises extensively locally and is gradually building a loyal following amongst clients and agents abroad who continually support and promote our services.

Bali Vacation Golf Leisure(BVGL) is now preparing to extend its service to include golf rounds in other parts of Indonesia including in the vacation islands of Bintan, Batam and Lombok as well as at the many superb courses in and around the major cities in Java.
