I frequently come through Sing for 2-3 days and am considering a diversion.

There are a total of 6 Golf courses here.

Nongsa area - Tering Bay, Palm Spring and Tamarin Santana.
Sekupang area - Indah Puri and Batam Hills
Central, nearest to Nagoya - Southlinks

Nongsa is about 45mins drive away from Nagoya, Sekupang is around 30mins drive and Southlinks is about 15mins away from Nagoya.

My personal rating in terms of good course design would be,

1) Tering Bay (well maintained)
2) Batam Hills (fairly maintained)
3) Southlinks (well maintained)
4) Palm Spring (well maintained)
5) Indah Puri (fairly maintained)

Tamarin Santana, you can give it a miss. However, it's actually one of the best designed course, but main problem is that it was only half built and owner just leave it as it is till today. It's only 9 holes and without a also half built club house which you can't use anyway.

Websites, you should able to get them if you do a search on Golf Course in Batam.
