On a Par with Virtually No One

(6/23/2003)

Bali's Le Meridien Nirwana Golf & Spa Resort has, once again, proven itself above par.

For the third consecutive year, Asian Golf Monthly Magazine has named Le Meridien Nirwana the "Best Golf Resort in Asia," "Best Golf Course in Indonesia," and runner-up for "Best Par 3 in Asia" for hole number 7. The Asian Golf readers also picked Nirwana as the region's best golf course, "Best Par 4 in Asia," for hole number 13, and ranked it in the top three for "Best Clubhouse in Asia" and "Best par 5 in Asia" for hole number 6.

Asian Golf Monthly readers said Asia's best golf resort has "something for the entire family," noting its cliff top fairways along the Indian Ocean, top swimming and spa facilities, gourmet restaurants and range of children's activities.

The four-year-old resort's Greg Norman-Signature Golf Course was described by the magazine as "hypnotizing for its sheer beauty and terrifying at the same time for the challenge it presents. This repeat winner is one world-class course not to be missed."
