New Kuta Golf
Laid across the limestone headland of Pecatu, New Kuta is the Bukit's championship links — an 18-hole, par-72 designed by Ronald Fream's Golfplan that runs windswept and ocean-facing, with holes that fall away to the surf and tee shots played out over the cliffs above Dreamland and Balangan. Carved from the Pecatu Indah Resort 150 metres above the Indian Ocean, it is dramatic, exposed and frequently breathtaking — and barely 20 minutes from the airport. A tiered Balinese clubhouse, a driving range and a famous sunset finish round out one of Asia's most photographed courses. Book the early tee before the heat and the trade winds build.
The whole course is carved across the Pecatu limestone headland, 150 metres above the sea — eighteen holes that hug the cliff line, with the surf breaks of Dreamland and Balangan below. Few first tees on earth look quite like this.
Your round comes with a buggy, a caddie who reads the ocean wind, and insurance — and it's barely twenty minutes from Ngurah Rai airport. Mornings are calmest; book the early tee before the trade winds build.
