GOLF B U SINESS
COMPA N Y P R OF I LE S Six golf travel specialists look to the year ahead
Brian Bowley CEO Easy Golf Bali
What do you do? Easy Golf Bali provides discount green fees at all five Bali golf courses, premium club hire, stay and play packages, and golf event management.
What differentiates your company from your competitors? Easy Golf Bali is different in that it’s the largest ground handler for golf in Bali and specialises in golf only. Our staff have a very good understanding of golfers’ requirements, particularly those travelling to Bali from overseas.
What does your company do better than anyone? Easy Golf Bali’s customer service is by far the best — from initial booking enquiry through to finishing your golf experience.
What’s the best trip you’ve ever hosted? Thirty-six golfers in a four-day event in which we provided a Scottish piper on the green while the players enjoyed a post-game dinner on the terrace of Bali National Golf Club. When the sound of bagpipes came from the darkness, the golfers couldn’t believe it and when he emerged from the darkness into the light on the 18th, they rose in applause as one!
Where’s the best place to play golf? The best course to play in Bali is the Bali National Golf Course. This recently renovated course is a great challenge with super slick greens.
What makes golf in Bali special? Golf in Bali is so special because of the whole magical ambience of the area and particularly the smiling and gracious caddies. The five courses offer a range of styles from links-style to mountain golf.
What makes the perfect golf holiday? To stay at a five-star hotel in Seminyak for one week and play the three courses in the south and make the trip to Handara Golf in the mountains and play two rounds, staying for one night and taking in the spectacular mountain and lake views. When in Seminyak, enjoy a few dinners in world class restaurants and relax by the pool in warm Bali sunshine before heading off to golf. All can be organised by Easy Golf Bali so all you have to do is relax.
What will you be doing differently in 2018? In 2018 Easy Golf Bali is launching an inaugural Father & Son Tournament in Bali and we hope to establish this and one other international event to promote Balinese and Indonesian golf to the world.

Here they play two exceptional courses, while taking the time to discover Bordeaux, the Arcachon basin and the vineyard heritage of Saint Emilion. Finally, within 90 minutes of travel time, these clients are able to discover the beauty of the French Riviera.

What makes the perfect golf holiday? Golf combined with discovering Champagne vineyards, plus delicious French food and a Seine cruise diner, not forgetting the French Riviera. Although it’s impossible to combine everything in one day.
