RBA Golf Club is the first 18-hole public golf course in Brunei. A subsidiary of Royal Brunei Airlines, the club is located near the Brunei International Airport-less than three minutes' drive from there and about 10 minutes from Bandar Seri Begawan. The layout is generally characterised by flat terrain, with huge man-made lakes spread out over the course. These lakes add to the beauty of the surroundings, while irrigating the layout. It is obvious that designer Max Wexler went to great lengths to retain as much of the original vegetation as possible, especially on the second nine. It is visually pleasing but not too forgiving of wayward shots that may wind up out-of-bounds or, worse still, in the water.
