About Us
The club is made up of many nationalities, most have been residents of Bali for years. We are like minded people who really enjoy golf and all the surrounding camaraderie and hijinks. Our club is a mix of various skill levels including arguably the best golfer in Bali to some of the lesser talented ones. The majority of our comps are based on Stableford which affords someone a blow-up hole or two and still be in the mix for a reward.
Our mission is to foster a welcoming and inclusive community of golf enthusiasts, dedicated to the enjoyment of the game, the cultivation of lasting friendships, and making a positive impact through charitable initiatives. We aim to create a supportive environment where players of all skill levels can connect, share their love for golf, and contribute to meaningful causes.
Through our social events, tournaments, and friendly competitions, we strive to promote camaraderie, sportsmanship, and a sense of belonging among our members while actively supporting charitable organizations and initiatives. We are committed to upholding the values of integrity, respect, and fair play both on and off the course. By leveraging our collective passion for golf, we seek to raise awareness and funds for deserving causes, making a difference in the lives of others and leaving a lasting impact in our community.”
History
The Par-T-On Social Golf Club’s origins trace back to August 2020. Prior to its formation, the 69’ers Golf Club (from Bali Beach) and T-Drivers Bali were two well-established Bali-based clubs. These two clubs merged to create the Par-T-On Social Golf Club after a member meeting at the 19th hole in Sanur. Despite the challenges posed by the pandemic, the club thrived, reaching over 100 members by the end of its first year.
By June 2022, Par-T-On continued to grow, with its membership exceeding 150. That same month, the club further expanded by merging with the Par5 Social Golf Group. This strategic merger pushed the total membership to over 300, solidifying Par-T-On’s position as a leading entity in Bali’s social golf scene. The club’s success and rapid growth reflect its strong appeal and influence within the local golfing community.

Charity
Chloe Orphans
We are an orphanage located in Bali, Indonesia. This orphanage was founded in 2010 by Pastor Victor Hutapea and his wife, Susiana. They are also the houseparents for the 19 kids who stay in the orphanage.
Victor Hutapea has a big vision for kids across Indonesia. A part of our mission is to help lost kids in reaching a path to the future that is reliable and safe. Through our valuable supporters and donors, we can provide Food, Shelter, Healthcare, Education, Security, and of course a Family.
Education can change everything. Therefore, we provide a scholarship for the children who stay here, so they can graduate from senior high school, find a better job with a decent income, and help their families break the vicious cycle of poverty.
We take in children who have been orphaned, abandoned and rejected and provide them with a loving home where they feel comfortable and safe enough to be just that – children. We are thankful for the support that we got, so the children are able to continue the study despite the pandemic condition. Thank you will never be enough to express how grateful we are to have a donors like you.
Dr Suryani Mental Health Institute
This non-profitable institute was established in 2005 and alongside its sister organizations, the Committee Against Sexual Abuse (CASA) and the Bali Elderly Welfare Foundation (Yayasan Wreda Sejahtera), is dedicated to creating a healthy and happy community on the Island of Bali. Through our academic, medical/psychiatric, educational, and social work, we strive to help the Balinese people become more intelligent, independent, creative, as well as physically, psychologically, socially, and spiritually healthy.
Our approach follows a holistic model, we call biopsycho-spirit-sociocultural, which combines Western psychiatric/psychological mainstream paradigms (e.g. positive psychology) with Eastern and Balinese specific cultural and spiritual knowledge and beliefs. This approach recognizes the importance and interconnectedness of every person’s mind (psychology), body (biology) and spirit that are influenced by and in return affect, positively or negatively, one’s sociocultural environment and religious/spiritual beliefs.
Charity Mission Statement
With each convened competition, a percentage of the prize pot is allocated to support the charities we care about. Additionally, we hold events throughout the year aimed specifically at raising funds for charitable causes. From the inception of our club, we primarily supported Puspadi Bali and the Bali Mums. However, we now focus our fundraising efforts on two main charities: the Dr. Suryani Mental Health Institute and Chloe Orphans. At the committee’s discretion, we also allocate emergency funds to other deserving causes on the island when the need arises.
