Amidst the ever-bustling city of Jakarta, some places will bring calmness and serenity. One of the places is golf driving ranges.

Whether you’re a professional golfer or you want to start giving golf a try, here is a list of the best golf driving ranges around The Big Durian:

1. Senayan National Golf Club

Built during President Sukarno’s administration to accommodate Ganefo (Games of the New Emerging Forces) in 1968, the course was part of massive urban development of South Jakarta called Gelanggang Olahraga (Gelora) Bung Karno. The course was originally built over a 20-hectare land and formerly known as Kebayoran Golf Course until it received a new name Klub Golf Senayan in the late 80s, during which an additional 10-hectare was added to make a par 70 city park-type layout. Since then, it has been renowned for its traditional “tight” tree-lined fairways and is a good test for golfers of all levels. In 2012, Klub Golf Senayan was reborn and receive a new name: Senayan National Golf Club. 

Since May 2011, the Club started to receive total renovation led by Robert Moore Jr., a world-renowned golf course architect. The Renovation Program focused on addressing all infrastructure issues, improving turf quality, infusing the golf course with a more interesting strategy of play and greatly enhancing visual drama and beauty of the golf course. New amenities include a clubhouse, lockers, a bar and lounge, and meeting rooms where you can discuss business in both comfort and privacy. The improvements foster a total experience that promises to be memorable after each club visit. An oasis in the heart of one of the world’s largest and busiest cities, a welcome respite from the demands of working in an emerging global economic center, Senayan National Golf Club offers a unique botanical heritage course in central Jakarta. This is a relaxing space where Indonesian and expatriate businessmen and dignitaries perfect their golfing game and mingle amid luxuriant greenery.

Pondok Indah Golf Course

Established in 1976, the Pondok Indah Golf Course Indah has a unique design that represents a partnership between man and nature. Each game will afford golfers opportunities for not only measuring their skills against the course but also enjoying the beauty of the natural surrounding by playing in a relaxed setting of lush greenery and tall trees, in fresh air carrying the scent of flowers and the songs of birds. 

Pondok Indah Golf Course offers golfers a location where the architect has seemingly done little to disturb the natural harmony – where the golf course blends into its environment as though it had always been there. Such a paradise is rare. It is even rarer to find one located conveniently in the heart of a major city. As one of the requirements of the course design, the architect was asked to design a course with a layout for major championships (event World Cup) but capable of offering pleasure and a fair test for both low handicap players and beginners.
