Pertamina Balikpapan Golf Club

Pertamina Balikpapan Golf Club, also known locally as the Padang Sepinggan Course, is an 18-hole, par-72 parkland and woodland layout in Balikpapan, East Kalimantan, opened in 1978 to serve Indonesia's oil and gas hub on the east coast of Borneo. The course measures 6,717 yards from the blue tees, or 6,135 meters, with a course rating of 73.0 and a slope of 134, figures that make it a genuine test for golfers of most standards.

Balikpapan's long-standing role as a center for the oil and gas industry gives this course a steady mix of local members, company golfers and visiting players connected to the sector, alongside residents of the city itself who simply want a round close to home. Blue, white and red tee options spread the layout across a range of playing abilities, and mature trees lining several fairways reflect the course's near five decades of history.

Golf carts, a driving range and teaching professionals are all available on site, along with a restaurant and snack bar for golfers before or after their round. Walking is permitted for those who prefer a traditional game, and the flat-to-rolling terrain typical of this part of Kalimantan makes it a comfortable course to cover on foot.

A course with this kind of industrial-era history offers a genuine local golf experience in Balikpapan.
