The Indonesia Ultimate Golf Series (IUGS)—officially known as the UGolf Master Series 2025—is a prestigious golf tournament specifically designed for non-athlete golf enthusiasts, including amateur golfers and players who are not listed in the World Amateur Golf Ranking (WAGR). What sets this tournament apart is its clearly defined target audience: not professional athletes, but passionate golf enthusiasts who want to experience a national-level competition presented in a professional tournament format.
The event has earned the title “The Biggest Golf Enthusiast Tournament in Indonesia” due to its large-scale execution, involvement of renowned golf courses, spectacular prizes, and a multi-stage competition structure that closely resembles professional tournaments. Participants come not only from a single region but from cities across Indonesia. In several editions, international participants have also joined to experience competitive golf within Indonesia.
In the 2025 edition, the Indonesia Ultimate Golf Series will feature five qualification rounds held at different golf courses, culminating in a grand final in Bali on 6 December 2025. The decision to host the final in Bali is driven not only by the island’s world-class golf courses but also by its status as a global tourism destination. This combination elevates the tournament experience by blending sport, competition, and travel into one memorable journey.
Beyond competition, the tournament provides extensive networking opportunities. Participants can connect with fellow golf enthusiasts, influencers, and event sponsors. The atmosphere is competitive yet welcoming, allowing players to enjoy a balance between serious competition and strong community engagement within Indonesia’s golf scene. Below is the complete overview from GoGolf.
Qualification Venues and Grand Final of the Indonesia Ultimate Golf Series 2025
The Indonesia Ultimate Golf Series 2025 is designed to offer a diverse competitive experience by selecting some of Indonesia’s finest golf courses as qualification venues. There are five qualification rounds before the top players advance to the grand final. The full schedule is as follows:
- Gading Raya Golf Club – 27 February 2025
- Jababeka Golf & Country Club – 24 April 2025
- Modern Golf & Country Club – 19 June 2025
- Permata Sentul Golf – 24 August 2025
- Royale Jakarta Golf Club – 25 October 2025
These five courses represent strategic regions known for high-quality layouts. Gading Raya Golf Club is recognized for its challenging design, Jababeka Golf & Country Club holds an international reputation, Modern Golf offers premium facilities, Permata Sentul is set amid scenic highland landscapes, and Royale Jakarta Golf Club regularly hosts major tournaments.
Each qualification round consists of a single 18-hole individual stroke play round. Players must perform at their best, as only those recording top scores will advance to the final stage.
From all qualification rounds combined, only the top 70 golfers earn a place in the grand final in Bali. Hosting the final in Bali adds a unique dimension to the tournament. In addition to top-tier golf facilities, participants can enjoy Bali’s natural beauty and cultural richness as part of the overall experience. For many players, reaching the Bali final feels like both a competitive milestone and a reward after enduring a long and demanding qualification journey.
With this tournament design, participants experience competition similar to that faced by professional golfers. They must adapt to different course characteristics, varying weather conditions, and evolving strategies at each stage. This structure adds educational value while delivering a highly rewarding competitive experience.
Competition Format: Qualification Rounds and the Grand Final
The competition format of the Indonesia Ultimate Golf Series (UGolf Master Series) is structured to balance serious competition with equal opportunity for all participants. Qualification rounds are held across five different golf courses, each using an individual stroke play format over 18 holes.
Players compete to post their best possible scores, with a handicap-based system applied during the qualification rounds to ensure fairness among participants of varying skill levels. This approach is essential because the tournament is designed not only for highly skilled golfers but also for those who primarily play golf as a hobby and may have limited competitive experience.
From each qualification round, approximately the top 30 players advance, ultimately forming a pool of 70 finalists who compete in the grand final in Bali.
The final round typically adopts the same stroke play format but without additional handicap adjustments, placing full emphasis on technical skill, strategic execution, and mental strength. Under this system, the player who demonstrates consistency from qualification through the final rightfully earns the title of Indonesia Ultimate Golf Series Champion.
Notably, the tournament often introduces additional categories, such as age-group divisions or special sponsor and invitation categories. These additions enhance the competitive atmosphere and provide broader participation opportunities across different segments of the golf community.
Prizes, Lucky Draws, and Competitive Appeal
One of the strongest attractions of the Indonesia Ultimate Golf Series is its prize offering. The total cash prize pool reaches IDR 250 million, making it one of the most lucrative amateur golf tournaments in Indonesia. Beyond prize money, the tournament features a Grand Lucky Draw worth IDR 300 million, adding excitement as every participant—regardless of final standing—has a chance to win significant prizes.
In addition, the organizer provides two cars as hole-in-one prizes at each qualification round. These spectacular rewards are a major talking point among participants, as achieving a hole-in-one not only tests skill but also offers the chance to win an extraordinary prize.
Beyond cash and lucky draw prizes, OB Golf as the event organizer collaborates with sponsors who often contribute additional rewards such as premium golf equipment, shopping vouchers, and exclusive merchandise. With its combination of cash prizes, lucky draws, and hole-in-one rewards, the Indonesia Ultimate Golf Series feels like a large-scale golf festival—competitive, festive, and highly engaging.
