  Better known for its jade green rice paddies, powder sand beaches and hauntingly beautiful scenery, Bali has stand-out golf courses that incorporate all of these highly scenic appeals.
The newest of a quartet of courses is the oddly named New Kuta Golf set on the south western rim of the island between shimmering white limestone cliffs and the brilliant blue of the Indian Ocean.
Ocean breezes are also a factor at the Greg Norman designed Nirwana Bali Golf Club where the panorama at the signature 7th hole encompasses a lovely temple.
Set in the heart of central mountain range, the 7024 yard course at the Bali Handara Kosaido Country Club has a most novel feature. It’s set inside a long extinct volcano.
An illustrated feature on golfing in Bali can be written on assignment from 1000 to 2000 words, depending upon editorial requirements.
A feature or sidebar can also be written about the unique cultural attractions on the ‘Isle of the Gods’.
As Bali can be easily combined with Jakarta, a sidebar or full feature can be written on the cultural and historic attractions of Indonesia’s capital city.
