Seiko, I think the place you mentioned is Nagoya food court. It's a hawker center.

If you want real good live seafood, go for 933 or 555 seafood. It's a bit far from Nagoya but the place is not bad. Did I mentioned it's cheap? No, I never, it's a bit expensive. Just tell the taxi 933 seafood and they will be glad to bring you there.

There is another place with cheaper and good seafood, if you know how to pronounce "big stone" in indonesia, just tell the taxi driver and he will bring you there.

Bro JC , live seafood ?

You may want to try the seafood near the longest bridge in Batam. real gd and cheap.
Local recommended.

Yes this is the place! In batam u can tell the taxi driver and they can bring u to their "fav" place cos they earn commission. I chose Nagoya bcos its near to the hotel n Sports massage and quite safe!

I would like to go for 933 or 55 seafood unless ur avatar gal is there!!!

Hey anyone is goin there for 2D1N golf? pls let me know. I would like to join

South Link is another beautiful course to go in Batam... I find it much better in terms of maintenance and scenic wise. But abit far from the jetty, need a good 45min drive.

Yes 933 seafood is cheap and good.

I'm a beginner, nvr played in Batam before. can join?
In fact wld like to join in as many games as possible - doesn't matter where, as long as can play, happy liao

I just return from the palm spring 2D1N package. course is good & game was great!
Will definately go back or rather maybe try all the other courses in time to come!

How were the Palm Spring rooms Tabitha? Cos I stayed at Turi Beach the last time which was very nice.

oh.. i din stay at the palm lodge, but it din seem nice at all from the outside. I paid a lil more for Novotel instead. really nice place though.

Thanks Tabitha, might try there next time. Did you play all 27 holes by the way?

By the way, welcome to GR, sure we'll meet sometime soon.

Enjoy ur stay here.

I played all 4 courses, but i guess there's more than 27 holes, i think Spring crse shares 5 holes with Palm crse..
It was good, played thru rain & shine!

Thank! Sure to see you sometime:!:

actually it is a 27 hole course. Just different tee boxes to form the last 9 holes

oh! lol.. nonetheless.. it was a good course to play! will explore the rest of the courses there in no time! =P

Eh bro. Pls share with me cos I wanna play in Batam or Bintan also.

Why did you choose batam and not bintan? Are there nice resorts by the sea for the wives (after the guys go play golf)?

How much for a game?

Did you do a package deal or you just book game and hotel separately?

Thanks for your advise

Hi jurongtiger, there is 2D1N 36holes package for Batam. It will be more worthwhile compared to just 1D 18holes. U can bring ur wife there to shop in town area while u golf.

If u need local contact for 2D1N package let me know.

Cheers

this year we went to batam for 2d1n. played 2 x 18 holes at palm springs and stayed at turi beach.

spent about $148 - $158++ .. dont quite remember the exact amount.

turi beach resort is damn nice.

No lah Bro! 2N is between $148-$158 for 2 rounds of 18holes inclusive of accommodation and breakfast.

Just came back from 2D1N Batam Weekday package at,
http://www.palmsprings.com.sg/golfpackages.php

Played the 4 9holes courses and I would say some holes are pretty challenging. 1st day weather was hot while 2nd day was cool and wet...enjoyed both days games.

Stayed at Novotel and requested for the newly renovated rooms, pleasantly satisfied with the room standard. I would advised stay at Nagoya as there are shopping malls, cheap seafood restaurants and cheap massage places to spent the time after the game.

there will b handling charge for golf if u want them to handle the bags for u. For Harris, u will alight at waterfront terminal and the 3 courses nearest to it are Indra puri, batam hill and south links.

Not advisable to stay at novatel if you wanna to play batam hill. Stay at Harris or Holiday Inn. Rate for hotel is around S$90 includg breakfast. (Twin Share) They also have 2 bdrm suite which cost around S$140. (Quad Share)
