Nirwana Bali Golf Course is one of Bali’s most beautiful, seamlessly integrated with the tropical gardens of the Pan Pacific Nirwana Bali Resort, and with one of the island’s most iconic temples as part of its seascape. Three cliff-side holes enjoy views with the iconic Tanah Lot sea temple nearby as part of its stunning ocean backdrop. Even so, the 18-hole golf course is also one of the most challenging, with a slope rating of 134-146. Designed by professional Aussie golfer Greg ‘The Shark’ Norman, and opened in mid-1997, Nirwana Bali Golf Course makes for pleasant golf cart rides from hole-to-hole, at times crisscrossing bridges and creeks throughout the resort’s lush landscape. The setting is a superb balance between green terraced paddies, colourful flower gardens and the blue sky and ocean.
