Described as a sport that places great emphasis on precision and physical restraint, Golf is first believed to have been play during the 15th century in Scotland. While its roots can be traced as far back as Roman times, the more familiar traits of the sport seems to have originated during King James II’ reign who went to the extent of prohibiting the playing of the sport because of his belief that it distracted people from becoming skilled in archery. Golf has now gained worldwide recognition and is even part of the Olympic Games. Therefore, enthusiasts would be hard pressed to find a holiday destination without a golf club in the vicinity and tourists visiting Indonesia and staying in a resort such as The Westin Resort Nusa Dua Bali will be delighted by the presence of the Golf and Country Club in Nusa Dua.
This Balinese Golf course is one of the finest in Asia and was established in the early 1990s. Designed by Nelson Wright, the location of the Club is envied by even resorts in Nusa Dua because of its spectacular view of the pristine coastal belt of Bali in one direction and the vast forests bordered by blue tinged mountain ranges in the other. The view from the Golf and Country Club does, indeed, make one feel that the fond epithet for Bali as being the Island of Gods, is well founded.
The Club is equipped with a stunning 18-hole course and numerous other facilities that allow golfers to relax and unwind such as a Club House complete with a restaurant and bar, a VIP lounge, spacious locker rooms and showers as well as a prayer room. The Nusa Dua Golf and Country Club enjoys the distinction of hosting a number of internationally acclaimed golf championships every year and is the perfect place to spend a relaxing evening.
