Southlinks, Batam

hi,

Considering playing Southlinks in Batam.
Appreciate any FR from fellow golfers.

many thanks in advance.

Other courses I have played in Batam:

- Palm Springs
- Tering Bay
- Indah Puri

Considering I'm the Batam 'Stay & Play' king (Opus calls me that), I'll try to give you a FR.

I think of all that you played (I played all the Batam courses), Southlinks has to be the most challenging and well maintained course on the Island. The Par 3s are VERY mean, with 3 of them averaging about 190 - 200m from the Blue Tees. Definitely not an easy course by any means, and if you come back with a score of about 95 and below, you've done pretty well..

In terms of quality of course, i'd rate it a 8.5 out of 10.
Batam Hills though, gets my vote at 9 out of 10.

Have fun
