Where can one get a good deal on a week's golf holiday for 2 people? Looking for a hotel with a golf course (not an hour's drive away) + something of interest to break up the golf (one of the golfers is a 12 year old beginner). Went to Kota Kinabalu Rasa Ria ages ago -- was great at the time (OK golf course + orang utans + wonderful hotel, especially the staff), but don't know what it's like now. Also want something reasonably priced -- Cathay Holidays are around 5000 for 2 days. Not particularly interested in a golf holiday in China unless someone has a really good recommendation. Thanks.

We did the Rasa Ria place a year ago and also enjoyed it very much. The course next to the hotel was in very good nick and we weren't obliged to take a caddy with us. My preferred golf break would be to spend a week at Le Meridien in Bali. Nice hotel, reasonably priced (generally get a nice room from USD$120++), nice grounds, pool, food good quality and not excessively priced (beer is a bit steep, though). Next to Tanah Lot temple but a 40-60min to nearest towns. Really excellent golf course - fantastic views of the sea, very well kept, friendly caddies. Half price for hotel guests - around USD$95 for a round per person inc tax, golf cart and caddy (tip another $5-$10). Lessons also very good value there. My wife had some lessons with the head pro - around $22 for an hour or $40 for him to do 18 holes with you. Course is next door to the hotel - 2 minutes in a shuttle.

Thanks for the ideas Dive bum. Will look into Le Meridien Bali. We're looking ideally for a place with an 18 hole course + a 9 hole course (for my daughter, who doesn't yet have a handicap). Know of anywhere?

Le Meridien only has the one 18 hole course but neither my wife or I have a handicap and my wife is very much a beginner. Not a problem at Le Meridien. Only place I've been asked for a handicap cert was a run down course just outside Kota Kinabalu. After a few holes I wished I'd been turned away. Sanur (an hour or so from Le Meridien in Bali) has a nice 9 hole course and I saw some kids playing there. Sanur would also be a good place to stay for a few days. It has a decent beach amongst other things. Le Meridien is by the sea but you can't swim in the sea - very dramatic coastline, rocky and with strong currents. Very nice pool at Le Meridien, though, with a great water slide! You could always split your stay between the two resorts.

I think Pine Valley is a great course. I have been in China for over 12 years and work for a golf company if anyone has any questions feel free to message me. Have a great day!!!
