Batam Hills Golf Resort

Overview: Batam Hills Golf Resort is an 18-hole, par-72 course in Batam’s Waterfront City area. Australian architect Max Wexler is credited with the design, and the current operator gives 6,225 metres from the blue tees, approximately 6,808 yards. The course changes character across the round: the front nine uses jungle-lined fairways, while the back nine opens into more exposed ground with rolling lies, bunkers and wind. No par 4 exceeds 400 yards in the current description, which makes placement and green approach more important than raw length.

History: The available course records support a later Max Wexler redesign in 2006, but do not provide a clean original opening date for the exact current routing. That is why the profile treats the redesign as part of the course story without turning it into an invented opening year. Current operator pages describe Batam Hills as a championship course, provide a booking route and identify the same 18-hole facility in Batam, supporting the active resort identity.

Did You Know? The official course description singles out the fourth, a par 3 protected by five bunkers, and the short par 5 seventh as representative holes. The course also publishes Bermuda Tifdwarf greens and Serangoon fairways, while its green speed is given as 8 to 9. Together those details explain the balance between tropical scenery, maintained resort surfaces and a scorecard that remains approachable from the forward tees.
