Frequently Asked Questions

How do I best get to Bintan for a golf trip, and what should I expect upon arrival?

Your easiest route is a quick ferry from Singapore's Tanah Merah Ferry Terminal directly to Bintan's Bandar Bentan Telani (BBT) terminal. Most resorts, including the golf clubs, offer seamless transfers from BBT, so you'll be on the course or at your hotel in no time.

When is the ideal time to plan a golf trip to Bintan to avoid bad weather?

We recommend visiting during the dry season, typically from March to November, for the most consistent golf weather. While you might still encounter a brief tropical shower, you'll mostly enjoy sunny skies and comfortable conditions perfect for a full 18 holes.

With only three courses, how do I choose which Bintan course to prioritize, or should I play them all?

If you have time for all three, absolutely play them; each offers a distinct challenge and stunning views. For a truly memorable experience, prioritize Ria Bintan's Ocean Course for its dramatic coastal holes, but don't overlook Laguna Bintan for its unique beachfront play and Bintan Lagoon for its two diverse layouts.

What's the typical cost for a round of golf in Bintan, and is it good value?

Expect green fees to range from $100-$180 USD, often including a buggy and caddie, which we find excellent value for the quality of courses. Many resorts offer stay-and-play packages that can significantly reduce your overall cost, making a multi-round trip very appealing.

Besides golf, what else can I do in Bintan to round out my trip?

Bintan offers more than just fairways; you can relax on pristine beaches, indulge in spa treatments, or explore local culture with a visit to Senggarang village or the stunning 500 Lohan Temple. We suggest a fresh seafood dinner at a kelong restaurant for an authentic taste of the island.
