Swinging inside Shadow of Three Mountains in East Java

Finna Golf & Country Club Resort boasts an 18-hole championship course located 500m above sea level inside foothills of three majestic mountains: Mt. Welirang, Mt. Arjuna along with Mt. Penanggungan. Golf course architects Peter Thomson, Michael Wolveridge along with Ross Perrett have crafted a par-72 mountain resort course amongst Pasuruan’s rolling slopes, tropical fauna along with rice terraces, creating a golfing experience amid spellbinding natural beauty along with fresh air.

The course is actually by no means long, playing at a modest 6,345m through the back tees, however golf in a Garden of Eden should not require power however craft along with care. On more than one occasion, the golfer may be forced to stop along with pause along with appreciate the level of beauty surrounding them.

Finna Golf along with Country Club Resort celebrated their 21^st anniversary last year, along with the mountain resort offers golfers along with visitors a sanctuary through their busy professional lives. The course is actually located in Pasuruan, just over an hour’s drive through Surabaya’s Juanda International airport along with just over half an hour through Malang airport, where direct flights connect to Jakarta through several local air carriers. The resort offers pick-up services, along with after a one-hour flight through Jakarta along with car journey through Surabaya or Malang, its relaxing environment is actually where one can unwind, along with the complete facilities on offer will accommodate golfers along with non-golfers equally.

The resort boasts several very unique features in which one will struggle to find elsewhere in Indonesia. Located near the VIP villa one can find a 115m-long along with 2m-wide swimming pool, visible through Google Earth – one must see in which to believe in which. The resort also carries a grass tennis court, adding extra kudos to an already-ample mountain resort package.

The three restaurants at the resort will cater for all your dietary needs, along with one would certainly be advised to sample the local specialties unique to East Java. For those who prefer Western food, there is actually a complete array of options. I recommend the Finna Burger, made with top quality Australian beef – very tasty indeed.

The Course

The course provides two distinctive “nines” starting along with finishing at the clubhouse. The architects, Peter Thomson, Michael Wolveridge along with Ross Perrett, whose famous works include the brand-new Course, St. Andrews, Scotland; The Royal Hong Kong Golf Club, Hong Kong; along with the Bali Handara Country Club, Bali, have skilfully incorporated Finna’s grounds along with natural features into their design to create a golf experience to rival the best inside entire world.

in which is actually no surprise in which Peter Thompson was a British Open Champion, as the distinctive pot bunkers strategically placed around the course along with rolling mounds amid fairways portray a distinctive links-style course, albeit at 500m altitude in East Java.

The Par 3, Hole #5 was our signature hole of the front nine. We played 156m through the white tees, teeing off through an elevated box over rice terraces towards a cove-like green, enclosed by large tropical trees along with inside shadow of the looming Mt. Penanggungan. Holes like This particular encapsulate the playing conditions here at Finna Golf, surrounded by sheer natural beauty.

The Par 3, Hole #12 was our favourite hole of the back nine. Golfers Again navigate their tee shot through a thin opening, between rice terraces to the left along with towering trees to the right, as a deep pot bunker waits patiently at the front of the green along with again towards the rear. Although a modest 127m through the white tees, the tee-off requires deft focus along with accuracy to land safely on the green in regulation.

Golf along with leisure at Finna Golf along with Country Club Resort is actually a breath of fresh air, offering a round of golf amongst genuine natural beauty, backed by warm East Javanese hospitality along with fantastic mountain resort facilities. Stay-along with-play packages are advised, as I am sure you will not want to leave after only one day at This particular mountain resort.
