Hole 7 At Handara

Hole 7 – “Pengelengan”

Pengelengan Hill (Bukit Pengelengan in Indonesian) looms over the green as you look up this Hole from the tee. It is the very steep sided North-Eastern rim of the Buyan-Bratan caldera and is composed of volcanic breccia. The Buyan-Bratan caldera was formed about 40,000 years ago in an explosive eruption. This would not have been such a nice place to visit back then!

A fairly short Par 4 which plays uphill all the way. A decent drive will take you past the fairway bunker on the left which is about 160 yards from the green. The green has 2 levels – both fall from back to front but the lower/right hand side also falls from right to left. The green is well guarded by bunkers front left and back right.

Pro’s Tip – the green is wide but shallow. Take care with your club selection for your approach shot.
