Venue Showcase Golf and business – two things that go well together, just like wine and cheese. This issue, we bring you three selected golf courses which have won the hearts of many MICE planners, thanks to their superb courses, and the quality accommodation available, on top of halls and convention centres that are within the proximity of the courses. Ria Bintan Golf Club Designed by world-celebrated golfi ng legend Gary Player, the 36-hole championship course is set amidst the lush landscapes and natural surroundings.
