Jakarta Golf Club – Rawamangun

Established in 1872, Jakarta Golf Club (also known as Rawamangun Golf) holds the title of Indonesia’s oldest golf course and one of the oldest in Southeast Asia. Nestled in East Jakarta’s Rawamangun district, the club offers a convenient and nostalgic golf experience, deeply rooted in the city’s colonial and sporting history.

Though modest in size, this 18-hole parkland-style layout is cherished for its vintage character, tree-lined fairways, and easy accessibility for Jakarta residents and visitors.

Course Layout & Design

Jakarta Golf Club is a compact par-71 course with a relatively flat terrain and narrow fairways framed by mature trees. The course plays around 5,900 meters from the back tees, with water hazards and bunkers adding strategic interest to several holes.

While it may not match the size or prestige of newer tournament venues, its central location, rich history, and consistent maintenance make it a staple for casual and senior golfers, business groups, and local golf societies.

The layout emphasizes shot placement and precision over distance, with several short par-4s and par-3s that reward smart play.

Signature Holes

Hole 4 (Par 3): One of the most scenic short holes, framed by tall trees and bunkers with a small green.
Hole 9 (Par 4): A straight but narrow par-4 that demands an accurate tee shot before making the turn.
Hole 18 (Par 4): A finishing hole with OB on both sides, requiring discipline and control.

Clubhouse & Facilities

The clubhouse features:

Locker rooms
Pro shop
Open-air terrace café
Banquet room for functions and member events

The practice area includes a driving range and putting green. The club is known for its friendly caddies and welcoming atmosphere.

Although it does not offer spa or resort facilities like larger clubs, its authentic charm and accessible pricing make it a go-to for daily play.

Historic Golf Legacy

Jakarta Golf Club is a living piece of history. Originally founded by Dutch colonialists as Batavia Golf Club, it has withstood political changes, urban development, and the test of time. It remains one of the few clubs in the world with over 150 years of continuous golf tradition.
