Dago Heritage 1917 Golf Course (also known as PGB Dago Endah) sits on the Dago plateau in Bandung, West Java, and is one of the oldest golf courses in Indonesia, opened in 1917. It was designed by the Japanese course architect Chohei Miyasawa. This 18-hole, par-70 British-style layout (around 5,677 yards) is defined by its dramatic elevation changes across roughly 950–1,065 meters above sea level and the cool pine forest that wraps around the course. More than a century of continuous play since the Dutch colonial era gives it a value found nowhere else. It is operated by the Bandung Golf Association (PGB, Persatuan Golf Bandung) and is widely known as “PGB Dago Endah.” With GoGolf you can check availability instantly and book online while viewing live rates for your preferred date.

Key Information

Three Reasons Golfers Choose Dago Heritage 1917

More than a century of history, the cool air and stunning views of the highlands, and an undulating layout that tests your skill: this is a one-of-a-kind golf experience in Bandung.

1. One of Indonesia’s oldest courses, opened in 1917 — Built during the Dutch colonial era, it is a living cultural heritage that has witnessed the colonial period, the era of independence and the modern day. A symbol of Bandung’s sporting history, its heritage is the very value of this course.
2. A highland course at around 1,000 m elevation — Set at roughly 950–1,065 meters above sea level, the air stays cool year-round. On clear days several holes offer views of the Bandung cityscape to the north, and you play surrounded by nature amid the pine forest.
3. A strategic, undulating layout — Designed to follow the contours of the mountainous terrain, this 18-hole course features large elevation differences between tees, fairways and greens. Though it is a short course, it demands careful management of distance, wind and landing spots — ideal for testing your game.

History and Distinctive Character

Officially opened in 1917, Dago Heritage 1917 is a course of exceptionally high historical value. Built by the Dutch colonial government, it became a center of sporting life for the elite of the time. Over more than 100 years it has borne witness to key eras in Indonesian history — the colonial period, the era of independence and the present day — and stands as a symbol of Bandung’s sporting cultural heritage.

Today it is operated by the Bandung Golf Association (PGB), which has carried out gradual improvements without compromising the course’s original character. It is an 18-hole, par-70 layout with a total length of about 5,677 yards from the tees. Although classified as a short course by international standards, its difficulty is by no means low thanks to the elevation changes and undulations. Spread across roughly 950–1,065 meters above sea level, the air is very cool, and gentle mountain breezes often become an added factor in shaping your play strategy.

Location and Access

Dago Heritage 1917 is located on the Dago plateau (Dago Atas) on the northern slopes of Bandung, at Jl. Lapangan Golf Dago Atas No.78. Set on a plateau close to the city yet surrounded by pine forest, it offers a quiet, refreshing environment. It is an inland course requiring no ferry or sea crossing, with good access from central Bandung. Its location makes it easy to use for guests from out of town or the capital region, small tournaments and corporate golf outings.

For access, a company car or your own vehicle is convenient, as are ride-hailing services such as Grab and Gojek. Because the roads toward Dago Atas are continuously uphill, a ride-hailing service is reassuring if you are not used to the area. There is no accommodation on the course itself, but nearby options such as the Sheraton, GH Universal and Hotel Dago 207 make it easy to combine golf with sightseeing and time in the city.

Course Design (Chohei Miyasawa) and Features

The course design of Dago Heritage 1917 is anything but flat. Created by the Japanese course architect Chohei Miyasawa, it is laid out to follow the natural contours of the mountainous terrain. As a result, the playing areas feature many steep terraces, and the fairways are relatively narrow. Players are asked to control the direction of their shots and to bring a well-considered strategy.

Because the course is so undulating, many holes have different elevations at the tee box, fairway and green. You must carefully judge not only distance but also wind direction and the target position. It can be a significant challenge for beginners, while for experienced golfers it is a perfect stage to sharpen their skills. The pine forest surrounding the course creates a calm, natural atmosphere, and wild birds and small animals are often seen nearby, heightening the exclusive impression of being at one with nature.

Well-Equipped Facilities for a Comfortable Round

As a historic course, Dago Heritage 1917 continuously updates its facilities to meet the needs of modern golfers. From the main clubhouse perched atop the hill, you can take in the whole course and the Bandung cityscape from an elevated vantage point.

• Restaurant: Offers a varied menu of local and international dishes. Perfect for lunch or relaxing after your round.
• Pro shop: Sells golf equipment from popular brands such as Titleist, TaylorMade, Oakley and Pin High.
• Showers & locker rooms: Kept clean and comfortable.
• Rentals: Golf carts, golf shoes and clubs are available for rent.
• Caddie service: Professional caddies are on hand to help you read the elevation and choose the right club.

Thanks to an open booking system, non-members can play too, and online booking via GoGolf is supported. The advice of an on-site caddie is invaluable for reading the highland undulations, so even first-time visitors can enjoy their round with confidence.

A Memorable Golf Experience

A round at Dago Heritage 1917 blends the weight of more than a century of history, the cool highland air and the artistry of an undulating design. Each hole has its own character, and the layout that threads between the pine trees strikes an exquisite balance between serious play and a relaxed atmosphere. Playing amid Bandung’s signature coolness while feeling the historic aura of the colonial era is a major draw that the region’s newer premium courses cannot offer. It is a fitting stage for regular rounds as well as for a memorable golf trip or an outing with friends.

What to Know Before You Play

• Access: A company car or your own vehicle, or ride-hailing services such as Grab and Gojek, are convenient. The roads toward Dago Atas are continuously uphill, so a ride-hailing service is reassuring.
