GEC Rinjani Country Club & Resort

Overview: GEC Rinjani Country Club & Resort is an 18-hole, par-72 course in Golong, Narmada, West Lombok, on the foothills of the Rinjani range. The setting is greener and cooler than the island's beach districts, with a flatter opening nine among palms and coconut groves before the back nine becomes more undulating and heavily planted. The current directory identity matches the active golf-and-resort address. Published lengths and architect attributions conflict, so those fields are kept conservative rather than presented as settled facts.

History: The Lombok golf association profile dates Rinjani Golf's inauguration to 1993, and current operator pages still provide golf, accommodation, restaurant and booking information at the Golong address. The course is commonly presented as one of Lombok's established golf destinations, with villas and country-club amenities supporting overnight stays. No later course opening or routing change was found that would justify replacing the 1993 course date.

Did You Know? Rinjani's two nines have deliberately different landscape identities. The first moves through relatively level tropical planting, while the second uses rolling ground, mature trees and flowers. That change is easy to feel during one round: the visual rhythm shifts from open palms to a more enclosed foothill setting, even though the course remains within the same resort property near Mataram.
