Quick facts

Why play Sentul Highlands

An authentic Gary Player design combined with the cool air and views of the highlands is what makes this course special.

1. A strategic Player design — narrow fairways, blind holes and clever use of the hillside contours. It is less about hitting far and more about placing the ball with care.
2. Highland views of Mount Salak — set on Bogor’s higher ground, the air is cooler and cleaner, and the mountain backdrop adds to the satisfaction of a round.
3. Easy to reach from Jakarta — about an hour via the Jagorawi Toll Road, ideal for a serious day of golf from the capital.

Location and access

Sentul Highlands sits within the premium Sentul City development in Babakan Madang, Bogor. Its highland elevation keeps the air cooler than in the city, while the greenery and views of Mount Salak create a pleasant setting. It is a popular escape for Jabodetabek golfers and a natural choice for corporate outings and rounds with business guests.

Getting there is easy by company or private car — about an hour from central Jakarta via the Jagorawi Toll Road, and roughly 45 minutes from the city of Bogor. Ride-hailing apps such as Grab and Gojek are also a convenient and popular way to reach the course, and are widely used by Jakarta-based residents.

The course: Gary Player design and the signature 12th

Gary Player is known for designs that work with the natural terrain. At Sentul Highlands, the hillside contours, slopes and trees are used to create a strategic 18-hole, par-72 layout of about 6,538 yards. Blind holes and narrow fairways are common, so accuracy off the tee and course management are key. Bermuda-grass fairways and views of Mount Salak add to the character.

The standout is the par-3 12th. Though short (about 140 meters), it is framed by rocks along the fairway and a green guarded by bunkers — a short but deceiving hole that has become a signature of the course. The 5th is also known as stroke index 1 (the hardest), adding tension throughout the round.

Facilities

Sentul Highlands is built as a highland resort complex that satisfies both players and their companions.

• Practice areas — a driving range plus a 3-hole practice course, ideal for warming up before a round.
• Pro shop — a range of major-brand equipment, with rental sets available.
• Clubhouse and restaurants — two dining options (local dishes and a golfer’s cafe), with a spa in the locker area.
• Caddies — a caddy service familiar with the terrain, so even the hilly layout is comfortable to play.

Membership

Beyond visitor play, Sentul Highlands runs a membership programme with benefits such as priority booking and access to club facilities. Terms and details can change, so confirm the latest information with the club or via GoGolf.
