Less than a year since breaking onto Bali’s golf scene, Bukit Pandawa Golf & Country Club is in the running for a significant international award - ‘World’s Best Par-3 Course,’ which will be announced in November at the annual World Golf Awards in Portugal. “Just to be in the mix (for this award) is an accomplishment in itself,” said Stephen Banks, general manager of Bukit Pandawa Golf & Country Club. “We’re still so young, but our expectations here are sky high. So we like our chances.” Opened in October 2016 as the only 18-hole par-3 course in Southeast Asia, Bukit Pandawa Golf & Country Club is the flagship course of Accorhotels in Asia and the recreational centrepiece of Bukit Pandawa Resort & Golf, a 150-hectare development on a spectacular limestone cliff top overlooking the world-famous surf breaks of Bukit Peninsula. The ‘World’s Best Par-3 Course’ will be determined by the results of an online survey accessible at Worldgolfawards.com until Oct. 1. Turtle Hill Golf Club in Bermuda, Cromwell Golf Course at Nailcote Hall in England and The Zhang Lianwei Course at Mission Hills Shenzhen in China are also up for the award.
