Great news! The tournament committee has approved the use of measuring devices at the Bali Amateur Open.

For the safety and convenience of all participants, please note that every golfer must use a shared motorized cart, and only licensed drivers are allowed to operate/drive a golf cart. In the unfortunate event of an accident, the driver assumes responsibility for any cart damage and associated costs.

To ensure a smooth and considerate game, common sense should prevail. Avoid driving your cart in front of other players on the course, and as a matter of courtesy, refrain from moving forward or backward when a fellow player is addressing the ball.

Maintaining a suitable pace of play is vital for the enjoyment of all golfers on the course. A round of approximately 4 and a half hours is considered a reasonable duration. This doesn’t mean rushing your shots but being prepared to play when it’s your turn and keeping pace with the group ahead of you. Your cooperation in this regard ensures a smoother and more enjoyable golf experience for everyone.

You will be paired with golfers in your handicap range for the tournament rounds. However, you can choose your playing partner (ONE) for all four rounds. We aim to create a fun and enjoyable event, so sharing the experience with your golfing companion is encouraged.

For men, the maximum handicap allowed is 30, and for ladies, it is 40. If a player’s handicap exceeds these maximum limits, they must play off the respective maximum permitted handicap (30 for men and 40 for ladies).

Indeed, the golf course’s difficulty and the specific tee box played from will determine a player’s handicap before the start of each round.

To calculate your handicap, you can use the formula Slope Rating (multiplied by) Your handicap (divided by 113). This calculation will yield your slope-rated handicap for the course and tee box.

No need to worry. The Tournament committee will take care of this for you.

Absolutely, a local caddie will be assigned to each golfer at every course. Caddies are there to assist and enhance your golfing experience. Kindly treat your caddie respectfully, as they are dedicated to ensuring you have the best round possible.

Please note that a minimum caddy tip of 200,000 IDR (approximately $20 AUD) is expected from each individual golfer after each round. Your appreciation for their assistance is greatly appreciated.

Your convenience is our priority, and that’s why all transfers from the hotel to the golf courses are included in your package. Your golf clubs will be arranged separately and waiting for you at each course.

Golf registration for each round will occur at the respective course before your game. We will provide you with advance notification of the designated departure times from the hotel and the courses, ensuring a smooth and organized experience throughout the tournament.

To maintain a respectful golfing environment, all players are required to dress neatly. This includes wearing a collared golf shirt, shorts or pants. Appropriate golf shoes must be worn with socks.

Please refrain from wearing the following on the course: denim, singlets, beach or gym wear, and cargo pants. Your adherence to these dress code guidelines ensures a pleasant and respectful atmosphere for all participants.

Certainly, if you desire extra practice time before your round, you have the option to make your way to the course earlier on your own. While the arranged transfers may not provide sufficient time for range practice, you can plan your schedule accordingly to ensure you have ample time to warm up and practice as needed.

No, the Bali Amateur Open is the complete package. If you are not staying at the Hotel you will not be playing in the tournament.
