You have just arrived at the Soekarno-Hatta Airport to attend a conference in Jakarta when you suddenly have an overwhelming urge to play golf. But then you realize you don't know the first thing about golf courses in the bustling metropolis. But fear not! Help is at hand, and searching for a golf course in Jakarta is actually not such a difficult task - just a click or two away!

The city provides a choice of no less than 15 championship standard golf courses, several of them designed by the world's top designers like Robert Trent Jr., Jack Nicklaus and Arnold Palmer. This number does not include tens of others in the Jakarta's surrounding areas of Bogor, Tangerang and Bekasi. These include Pantai Indah Kapuk Golf Course, Bumi Serpong Damai Golf Course, Bumi Serpong Damai Golf Course and Esmeralda & Country Club.

Indeed - this is what makes Jakarta so popular as a golfing destination among the business community - the fact that the courses are located all around the city, many being close to office buildings and hotels - easy access!

Most of the golf courses are open at 5 a.m., so an early morning round can be a refreshing start to the day. If you have a problem getting up that early and are more accustomed to night golfing, then you'd be better off trying Padang Golf Modern in Tangerang, about 30 minutes from Semanggi cloverleaf via Jakarta-Merak toll.
Indonesian golfing really is something special, especially with caddies always at your service in any game, not just in big events. A variety of golfing challenges ranging from water hazards, sea winds, hills and fairway bunkers have made the golf here stand out, and these challenges are guaranteed to really test your skills. What is more, the natural beauty of the courses is bound to ease away the tensions of hectic city life in Jakarta.

So, ready to play a round? An incredible variety of golf holes await you. Give some of them a try - you won't be disappointed!
