Wharfie mentioned Raffles Golf Group and it looks like many are interested.
We greatly enjoyed having Wharfie and his mates play with us.
Yes, the course is a challenge, a true championship quality course. That's why it is already hosting big tourneys (Last year's Men's Indonesian Open, a European and Asian Tour sanctioned event).
I'm Jon Dean one of the Raffles organizers.
We play Wed and Fri.
Due to New Kuta Golf hosting the Ladies Indonesian Open next week, we will take a week off and resume March 24.
When we resume, the start time will be 1/2 hour later than before..
Tee time will be 12:30
check-in 11:30-12:15.
Playing with us does have some benefits in that Raffles has negotiated a very good price for guests, and we have some spare sets of clubs for those of you who didn't travel with yours.
At the time of this writing, you can expect to pay as follows if you play with Raffles:
Green Fee to New Kuta Golf: rp600,000 (includes cart and caddie, but not caddie tip)
Cart and caddie are mandatory per New Kuta Golf.
Raffles competition entry fee (optional): rp100,000/player.
Assorted Nearest to pin, long drive, etc. Plus prizes to top players in the stroke play competition. Also, lucky draw. We usually use Stableford scoring if you know what that is. If not, we'll help you.
Normal to tip a caddy about rp100,000 if satisfactory service.
After play, we meet in restaurant for food/drink (optional) and competition awards. If you like a beer or 3 or 6, we get a good deal: (buy1/get 1 free) on Heineken draft. All the beer drinkers get together and collectively buy as many mugs as necessary.
If you want to join us, please email me so we can expect you, organize golf clubs if necessary, and make sure you get the proper price.
