Tering Bay Golf & Country Club PDF Print E-mail

Another of the finest courses on the island & ideally situated on the North East coast of Batam Island at Nongsa lies the  Tering Bay Golf & Country Club. On your arrival you will be greeted by the pleasant staff who will allocate a caddy & take care of your clubs immediately whilst you get changed in the well equipped changing rooms. The view from the clubhouse is spectacular over the rolling course down to the sea. Former number one Greg Norman designed the Tering Bay course, it is a very beautiful and playable 18 hole par 72 course set amidst hills, lakes and lush tropical greenery. Looking at the score card, especially from the white tees boxes with only 5491 meters the course seems awfully short - don't let that, however make you overconfident.

Along the way you will find out that playing this course requires concentration at all times. The par 5 second, par 4 fifth, par 5 eleventh, par 3 fifteenth and the par 4 sixteenth feature tricky water hazards. Especially on holes 5 and 15, these water hazards are coming into play from the tee box. Hole 9 is the stroke index I hole, while the closing hole on the back nine, a 400 metre uphill par 4 is the second most difficult hole on the curse.

The course is the centrepiece of the Tering Bay Golf Country Club on a site of over 160 hectares overlooking the waters of north Batam. The design brief was to ensure the Tering Bay golf course would be a fair and enjoyable test for golfers of all levels as well as stern tests for the professionals.

 

In (Greg Normans words) … "Playing the Tering Bay Golf & Country Club will be a breathtaking experience for golfers of all abilities. I have designed some heroic, 'go for it' shots across many of the water hazards. But in most places I have also tried to ensure players may choose an easier approach to the green."
