Emeralda Golf Club stands proudly among Indonesia’s finest golf destinations, combining breathtaking scenery, challenging play, and international-standard facilities. Featuring three uniquely designed 9-hole courses crafted by two of golf’s greatest legends, it delivers an unparalleled variety of playing experiences — from serene and scenic rounds to demanding championship-level challenges. Whether you are a professional golfer or an enthusiast, Emeralda Golf Club promises a perfect blend of competition, leisure, and sophistication.
Conveniently located in Depok, West Java, with competitive pricing and first-class service, it has become one of the top premium golf destinations in the Greater Jakarta area (Jabodetabek). Here’s a comprehensive review from GoGolf.
Strategic Location and Scenic Setting beneath Mount Salak
Nestled in Cimanggis, Depok, Emeralda Golf Club enjoys a breathtaking natural backdrop overlooking Mount Salak. The setting offers a peaceful escape from Jakarta’s urban rush, yet the course remains conveniently close to the city center. Accessible via the Jagorawi Toll Road, it’s a top choice for golfers from South and East Jakarta seeking a quick, premium golfing experience without the long drive.
A journey from central Jakarta takes only 30–45 minutes, making it ideal for executives, business groups, and serious golfers looking to enjoy a high-quality round of golf near Jakarta during a weekday or weekend retreat.
Surrounded by lush trees, clean air, and the soothing sounds of flowing water, the course evokes a resort-like atmosphere rarely found in the metropolitan area. The site’s natural contours and tropical vegetation lend both strategic variety and visual harmony, creating a truly picturesque playing environment that enhances every round.

Three Distinct Courses: Lake, River, and Plantation
What sets Emeralda Golf Club apart is its 27-hole championship layout, divided into three distinct courses — Lake, River, and Plantation — each with a unique personality. These courses were designed by two icons of golf architecture: Arnold Palmer (Lake & River Courses) and Jack Nicklaus (Plantation Course). The combination of their legendary design philosophies gives Emeralda an exceptional balance between power, precision, and strategy.
Lake Course
Dominated by water elements such as ponds and lakes, this course demands pinpoint accuracy. Nearly every hole involves some form of water hazard, requiring thoughtful club selection and precise approach shots.
One highlight, Hole 2 (Par 4), features a fairway guarded by bunkers on both sides and a single front bunker protecting a narrow green — a hole that rewards disciplined play and calculated risk-taking.
River Course
Following the natural river flow that borders several fairways, the River Course blends scenic beauty with tactical challenge. Hole 6, a classic dogleg-left par 4, requires an accurate tee shot to the left side of the fairway to set up a controlled approach toward a small, well-guarded green. It’s a test of both accuracy and distance control.
Plantation Course
Designed by Jack Nicklaus, this course brings a forest-like atmosphere, with dense trees and rolling greens that demand strategic precision. The 9th hole stands out for its risk-reward setup — a frontal water hazard from the tee box and lateral water along the left fairway. However, for those who can execute a well-placed drive, the green is relatively forgiving, offering scoring opportunities with the right approach.
Together, these three courses offer a diverse range of challenges, ensuring that no two rounds at Emeralda ever feel the same. Players can experience different course combinations, making it ideal for both casual play and competitive tournaments.
World-Class Clubhouse and Premium Facilities
Beyond the fairways, Emeralda Golf Club offers five-star amenities designed to meet the needs of all golfers — from individual players to corporate groups. The clubhouse, designed by Klages, Carter, Vail & Partners, features European-inspired architecture, combining elegance with functionality. Its grand design has even been compared to Bandung’s iconic Gedung Sate, symbolizing heritage and prestige.
Dining and Leisure
Inside the clubhouse is an exclusive restaurant serving a wide selection of cuisines — from authentic Indonesian favorites to Asian and Western dishes. After a round, guests can relax in the spa and sauna, rejuvenating both body and mind before their next game or meeting.
Business and Social Spaces
For social or corporate events, VIP rooms and business lounges are available, offering a quiet and professional atmosphere with panoramic views of the course. These spaces are ideal for meetings, private dinners, or client gatherings.
Practice and Pro Facilities
The driving range is spacious and well-maintained, accommodating both beginners and advanced players. Dedicated short-game areas, including putting greens and practice bunkers, allow golfers to fine-tune their skills.
Additional features include a modern pro shop offering the latest equipment and apparel, a game room, and even an exhibition space used for community events and showcases — reinforcing Emeralda’s reputation as a comprehensive golf and lifestyle destination.
