Laguna Golf Bintan unveiled its upgraded oceanfront golf course on 3 – 4 November 2016 at its grand re-opening event, graced by six-time Major winner and Laguna Golf ambassador Sir Nick Faldo.

Attended by 110 invited guests and regional golf media, the event comprised a series of activities with media conference, exclusive golf clinic by Sir Nick Faldo, 18-hole gourmet golf tournament with special Cassia Bintan hole-in-one prize, evening cocktails followed by gala awards dinner.

After the major revamp, Laguna Golf Bintan now reopens as an 18-hole championship golf course, featuring awe-inspiring beachfront holes with views of the South China Sea on both front and back nine, while playing through tranquil lagoons, lush jungle and Bintan’s famous rugged rocks on 60-hectare of tropical paradise.

“The extensive upgrade over the past 12 months had brought the course to a higher level complementing Banyan Tree and Angsana resorts in Laguna Bintan,” said Banyan Tree Senior Vice President and Laguna Resorts & Hotels Managing Director Mr Ravi Chandran, "The course layout is remarkably strong in terms of design and playability. This re-launch marked the completion of its Phase One plans. Natural surroundings were accentuated with all greens rebuilt and landscapes replanted. New golf carts were added and the clubhouse was improved. The Phase Two will focus on enhancing the golf course conditions such as fairway grasses and operational touches.”

The grand re-opening ceremony featured the official ribbon-cutting ceremony and a rousing lion dance performance, followed by a sumptuous lunch spread at the golf clubhouse. At the golf clinic, Sir Nick dispensed valuable golfing tips and techniques to the keen golfers.
