Taman Dayu Executive Golf
Taman Dayu Executive Golf is a compact 9-hole golf course located in Sleman, Yogyakarta. Known for its relaxed atmosphere, short layout, and practice-friendly design, it caters primarily to beginners, casual golfers, and corporate guests looking for a convenient golf experience within the city. The course is also a favorite for junior golfers and those seeking to sharpen their short game or enjoy a quick after-work round.
Established in 2005, this executive-style course was developed by local entrepreneurs to meet the growing recreational needs of Yogyakarta residents. While it doesn’t offer the grandeur of a full 18-hole championship course, its accessible location, affordable rates, and floodlit evening play make it a valued part of the city's golfing landscape. The facility also doubles as a training ground for golf academies and private instructors in the region.
Course Layout & Design
The 9-hole layout plays to a par of 30 and spans just under 2,000 yards. The course includes six par-3s and three short par-4s, allowing players to complete a round in under 90 minutes. Fairways are flat and forgiving, while greens are modest in size and lightly contoured. It’s the perfect space to focus on fundamentals, accuracy, and iron play.
Signature holes include:
- Hole 2 – A short par-3 over water with a narrow green and bunkers behind. A great test of wedge precision.
- Hole 5 – A straight par-4 lined with trees and OB markers, encouraging careful tee placement and accurate approaches.
- Hole 7 – A mid-length par-3 with a sloped green and open view of the practice zone, often used for instruction and demo events.
World-Class Facilities & Amenities
While modest in size, the club provides all core amenities for learning and casual play:
- Driving range with covered bays and lighting for night practice
- Putting green and short game area
- Equipment rental for clubs and shoes
- Casual café and shaded rest area

Host to Prestigious Golf Events

Scenic Beauty Meets Sustainability
The course is set within a peaceful suburban area, surrounded by local greenery and family housing. Zoysia grass is used for minimal maintenance and strong durability.
