(The only golf course in Taiwan designed by South African Star Gary Player)
Bali International Golf Course, located on Taiwan's picturesque north coast, is the only surviving course designed by South African legend Gary Player in Taiwan. This relatively flat course is spread out on slopes that gently incline towards the sea, integrating the natural landscape seamlessly into the golfing experience. The panoramic views of the sea and sky are both open and spectacular, enhancing the overall ambiance.
The course spans 6,142 yards and features sparse trees lining the fairways, reminiscent of a European coastal design. However, when the north coast's sea breeze picks up, the challenge intensifies, demanding precision and control from golfers. The front nine holes, with their longer yardage and exposure to the wind, require careful consideration of shot direction, making them more challenging than the back nine.
The back nine holes are situated on the mountainside, offering some respite from the wind but introducing other challenges. The abundance of water hazards and the need for precise shot placement create significant psychological pressure. The 15th hole, in particular, demands careful calculation of the wind factor.
Golfers at Bali International will find a course that tests both skill and strategy, with each hole offering a unique challenge set against a backdrop of stunning coastal scenery.
While the course demands accuracy and strategic play, it rewards golfers with an unforgettable experience. The combination of Gary Player's design, the natural beauty of the location, and the varying challenges presented by the course make Bali International Golf Course a must-play for serious golfers visiting Taiwan.
In addition to the golfing experience, the clubhouse facilities, including excellent locker rooms and dining options, ensure that a day at Bali International is enjoyable both on and off the course.
