Rancamaya Golf & Country Club | Golf Course in Bogor | GoGolf

Last updated: July 22, 2026

Rancamaya Golf & Country Club is an 18-hole, par-72 championship course created by the renowned designer Ted Robinson. Set in the highlands of Bogor, West Java, at an elevation of around 450 metres, it lies about 1.5 hours from Jakarta via the Ciawi exit of the Jagorawi toll road, and roughly 20 minutes from Bogor city. Since it was built in 1995, its water features of connected lakes and small waterfalls, its views of the dormant volcano Gunung Salak, and its integrated resort with an on-site five-star hotel have made it much more than a golf course — a genuine lifestyle destination. With GoGolf you can check availability on the spot and book online at rates that are cheaper than booking on-site.

Key Information

Three Reasons to Choose Rancamaya

A true championship course designed by Ted Robinson under the banner of “strategy, memorable shaping, and natural beauty,” where water features and views take centre stage. Add an on-site five-star hotel and the appeal extends well beyond golf to a complete stay experience.

1. Robinson design built around water and waterfalls — Chains of lakes and small waterfalls, strategic bunkers, and sharp doglegs combine beauty with genuine challenge.
2. Sweeping views of Gunung Salak — Spread across highlands at around 450m elevation, the course offers thin morning mist and, in the evening, a landscape where the setting sun melts into the green of the fairways.
3. An integrated stay-and-play resort — The on-site five-star R Hotel Rancamaya, spa, pool, and sports facilities cater to family trips and corporate events alike.

Location and Access

Rancamaya spreads across the Bogor highlands at an elevation of around 450 metres. It sits within an upscale residential area where a panorama of lush hills unfolds against the majestic backdrop of Mount Salak; the surroundings are quiet and popular with golfers and travellers looking to escape the bustle of the city. In the morning, a thin mist blanketing the hills greets players, while in the evening the golden light of the setting sun melts into the green of the fairways — a complete, packaged experience that is hard to find at other courses around Greater Jakarta (Jabodetabek). With meeting rooms and a hotel on-site, it is also a favoured venue for corporate tournaments and meetings.

Access is by company car or your own vehicle: about 1.5 hours from central Jakarta via the Ciawi exit of the Jagorawi toll road, and about 20 minutes from Bogor city. Ride-hailing services such as Grab and Gojek are also convenient, and the course is popular with expatriates living around Jakarta. Roads tend to get congested on weekends and in the mornings, so setting off with time to spare is recommended.

Course Design (Ted Robinson) and Signature Holes

Rancamaya was designed directly by the celebrated American designer Ted Robinson. At a total length of around 6,853 yards, 18 holes, par 72 (rating 73.4 / slope 140), it fuses aesthetics with challenge. Beyond visual beauty, it is designed to test strategy, precision, and control. True to a designer often called “the wizard of water holes,” it skilfully integrates water elements such as lakes, streams, and mini waterfalls into the layout, enhancing the scenery while raising the difficulty at the same time. Strategically placed bunkers and sharp doglegs demand a varied repertoire of shots on the way to the green.

One of the iconic holes is the par-3 14th. Set against Mount Salak, its green sits below the tee, surrounded by a valley, making club selection and reading the wind crucial. The 18th is also demanding, calling for an uphill shot over a valley to an island-style green, where distance and accuracy hold the key to your score. Each hole is designed to have its own character, so there is no monotony and the challenge never lets up. While it is favoured by intermediate to advanced players, choosing the forward tees also makes it enjoyable for beginners keen to sharpen their game.

The water features are the heart of this course. Chains of lakes and streams, along with small waterfalls, are woven between the holes, delivering visual beauty while demanding precise distance control and judgement about where to lay up. Add the undulations of the fairways and the slope of the hills, and even the same club calls for a different approach depending on the situation, keeping you engaged throughout the round. In the morning and evening, the mountain’s reflection and the play of light on the water enhance the scenery even further, with photogenic holes at every turn. Robinson’s three guiding principles — flexibility, memorable shaping, and natural beauty — can be felt consistently across all 18 holes.
