There are numerous golf courses in Indonesia which are appealing not only due to their quality and variety, but also the spectacular settings in which they are set.
The courses provide a good golf experience from beginners to professionals. In the last few years many golf courses in Indonesia have come up in incomparable locations – on picturesque lake shores, volcanic craters, ocean cliffs, in tropical forests and in valleys with an outstanding view of the surrounding mountains.
Most of the golf courses in Indonesia are located in the island of Java near the main locations of Jakarta, Bandung, Yogyakarta and Surabaya, and on Bali. Around Jakarta alone there are 43 golf courses within an hour of driving distance.
Many of the golf courses have been designed by world class designers on the likes of Jack Nicklaus, Woveridge & Perret. There are some championship courses including a few that are Par-72.
Golf tournaments, domestic and world class, are organized throughout the year by the major clubs and businesses. Indonesia was host to some international golf events before their late 90s monetary crisis. In the recent years they have hosted Johnnie Walker Super Tour 1997, The Alfred Dunhill Masters, Volvo Asian Matchplay, World Cup, and the Bali Classic.
Golf courses in Indonesia are listed in the areas of Bali, Batam, Java, Sumatra, and West Java.
There are some problems in going for a game of golf in Indonesia. You will often be hounded by children who retrieve the balls in the rough and try selling them to you for a price. There might also be crowds in the courses on weekend mornings. Often people have problems playing and walking in the high heat and humidity of this tropical country. Suitable precautions should be taken for the heat and carry sufficient fluids.
Golf courses in Indonesia provide a wonderful and affordable playing in the scenic well maintained courses, which is why most tourists love to frequent them whenever they are in the country.
