Indah Puri Driving Range

Batam sits at the southern tip of the Riau Islands, separated from Singapore by just a narrow strait — close enough that the city skyline is visible on a clear day. The island transformed rapidly from a fishing backwater into an industrial and resort hub over the past few decades, and golf followed that development closely. Several courses and practice facilities emerged to serve both the local population and the steady flow of weekend visitors making the short ferry crossing from Singapore.

A driving range rather than a full course, Indah Puri offers a practical outlet for players who want to work on their ball-striking without committing to a full round. Facilities like this serve a real purpose in Batam's golf ecosystem — they're where beginners take their first swings, where regulars groove their swing before a weekend trip across the water, and where the game quietly puts down roots in communities still building their golf culture.

The tropical setting means year-round practice is possible, though the equatorial heat and humidity make early morning or late afternoon sessions the sensible choice.
