It is hard to evaluate the course. Some holes have interesting layouts with the good views of spectacular Mt Rinjani and the coconut trees but a big number of others are simple. It is a very long but not difficult course because the balls roll a lot with the help of the solid ground and because there are very few hazards around the greens. Beginners might like the course but the intermediate and advanced players will not since the maintenance of the course is poor and it is not that challenging. Also, each green is huge like 30 or 40 yards in width and depth and has a little undulation, which makes the course easier to play. However, at least the greens lifted and make approach shots harder when you hit off the greens. Maybe the golf club does not enough money to spend on the maintenance because there are few players and visitors, which makes the further deterioration of the course likely. But it is not that bad so if there were small improvements, the course would have a different evaluation.

5th Par4 438 yards 

An almost 90 degree dogleg to the right and the fairway is tight. You need to use imagination to find where the ball should land from the tee. It is not difficult at and after the second shot.

Thanks to the generous fairway, there is little pressure for the tee shot. There is a pond around 100 yards in front of the green, so the landing area is very tight for the second shot. But it is easy for a long-hitter since the second shot can go over the hazard. It is beautiful hole and fun to play.

13th Par 4 407 yards 

You feel intimidated by trees on the tee shot, which are positioned to surround the fairway. The tee-shot is difficult at this hole, too, but relatively easy at and after the second shot.

18th Par 4 432 yards

A beautiful finishing hole. There is a big pond in front right of the green. You need to hit a long second shot over the pond if your first is on the right side of the fairway.

25 minutes from the Lombok Airport. Lombok Island and Bali Island is only 25 minutes by air. The course is located 500 meters above sea level in the Mt Rinjani foothills and it is relatively cool. Mt Rinjani is about 3700 meters in height and looks splendid.
