Batam Island Country Club

Overview: Batam Island Country Club, formerly known as Tering Bay Golf & Country Club, is an 18-hole, par-72 resort course in Nongsa on the north side of Batam Island. Greg Norman Golf Course Design identifies a site of more than 167 hectares, with rolling hills, tropical vegetation and lakes overlooking the bay. Published lengths differ between current golf references, so yardage is left open rather than choosing one tee total without a consistent scorecard. The resort setting and ferry access from Singapore make the course part of Batam's established golf-travel circuit.

History: The course was established in 1995 and was originally marketed as Tering Bay Golf & Country Club. Current material from Greg Norman Golf Course Design and the present operator-side references use Batam Island Country Club, while golf-travel sources still use Tering Bay. Those names describe the same Nongsa routing, not two separate courses. The facility continues to operate as a resort course with accommodation and visitor tee-time arrangements.

Did You Know? The course sits on a large coastal site where the bay is part of the visual setting, but the golf is not simply flat seaside play. Greg Norman's design page emphasizes the combination of rolling hills, lakes and tropical greenery, creating several different scales of landscape during one round. That mix explains why the course can feel like a resort course, a woodland course and a coastal course at the same time.
