The game of golf originated in St. Andrews, Scotland and the name "golf" was an abbreviation for "gentlemen only ladies forbidden". This is certainly not the case in Indonesia as women as well as men can enjoy the game here. In fact with over 40 golf courses within an hour's drive from Jakarta and comparatively reasonable prices, Jakarta really is a golfer's paradise!
Many of the courses are amongst the best in the world having been designed by some of the top names in golf course design: Robert Trent Jones Jr., Greg Norman, Graham Marsh, Jack Nicklaus, Gary Player, Thomson, Wolveridge and Perret, Nelson and Wright, etc. Many of the courses are located in spectacular settings with beautiful surroundings. They are suitable for players of all calibers, from beginners to recreational golfers as well as professional players. As in many other countries business deals are often conducted on the golf course so time spent playing golf can be beneficial.
Most golf courses are open daily from sunrise to sunset and golf pros are available to give instructions to learners. All courses provide caddies, most of whom are young women, and it is customary to give a tip in addition to the caddie fee.
Club houses are of a high standard featuring facilities such as saunas, Jacuzzis, spas, massage services, restaurants and bars. Service by pro shop staff, club house attendants and caddies is exceptionally courteous and friendly. You can join a golf club as a member however many expatriates prefer to enjoy the variety offered by the many courses here and just pay green fees. Many of the expatriate clubs and organizations hold golfing events usually as charity fund-raisers.
