Southlinks Country Club: Although golf on Batam doesn't always bask in the excellent reputation of neighbouring Bintan, the Southlinks Country Club enjoys a good reputation as one of the top three courses on the island.
This tropical resort stands on elevated ground, a peaceful setting adjacent to the Ladi Reservoir, with rolling countryside and tropical greenery all around. Water is a threat on many holes here.
The signature par-5 6th is an excellent risk-reward hole, inviting bigger-hitters to go for a 200-metre carry from the tee, and then the possibility of making it to an island-green with the second shot.
Visitors welcome on weekdays and weekends. Closed Mondays.
Must book in advance. Proof of handicap required.
Golf carts compulsory. Caddies available.

Besides golf, Southlinks Country Club also provides chalet-style accommodation, tennis courts, billiards, tennis courts, fishing pond, children's playground and a well-equipped fitness centre.
