With a length of 6834 yards, the par -72 Bintang Course offers an interesting range of difficulties for the golfer.

Players will also encounter additional challenge posed by man-made ponds which have been dug to add more intrigue to its layout. Each hole on this course has been designed to provide a new and exciting challenge to the golfer. However, the 17th hole will undoubtedly be the most stimulating. This hole is dog-legged to the right at almost 90 degrees with trees measuring 25 metres in height forming the buffer at the turning point of the fairway. In terms of attractiveness, the unique star-shaped island green of par 3 at the 16th hole is a signature for this course. The fairways are turfed with Zoysia Matrella, while Tifdwarf carpets the greens.
