Jakarta Golf Club

Steeped in rich sporting history, Jakarta Golf Club is recognized as the oldest golf club in Indonesia and one of the earliest established outside the British Isles. Founded in 1872 as Batavia Golf Club, the institution relocated to its current Rawamangun estate in 1934, featuring an 18-hole parkland layout redesigned by iconic architect Tom Simpson. Spanning 36 hectares with a par of 71 and measuring 6,425 yards, the course presents a classic test characterized by towering legacy trees, narrow fairways, and postage-stamp greens defended by strategically positioned bunkers. Precision shot-shaping and discipline off the tee are paramount, as stray shots are quickly penalized by dense forest foliage and traditional water hazards. Having hosted multiple historic editions of the Indonesian Open, the club retains an enduring colonial allure that enchants traditionalists and modern golf enthusiasts alike. The estate offers complete golf club facilities, including an atmospheric clubhouse, an open-air restaurant overlooking the 18th green, a pro shop, and grass practice putting areas. Reserving a golf round at Rawamangun is an essential pilgrimage for anyone exploring the foundations of golf in Indonesia.
