Three Reasons Golfers Choose Tigaraksa (Takara)
An easy yet never-boring layout designed by Hisayuki Watanabe, practical facilities that cover the essentials, and friendly pricing with good access. It is perfect for golfers who want to play rounds casually and often.
- Beginner-friendly design that seasoned players enjoy too — An 18-hole, par-72 course by Japanese architect Hisayuki Watanabe. The elevation changes are not extreme and it is easy to play overall, yet some holes make you think about shot direction and landing spots, so everyone from learning golfers to seniors and veterans can enjoy it without strain.
- Affordable pricing that is easy to keep up — A friendly price range that lets even beginners, students, and office workers who “want to play occasionally but can’t keep it up if it’s expensive” get out on the course regularly. It is a course that overturns the image of “golf = expensive.”
- A rural resort about 1 to 1.5 hours from Jakarta — A quiet setting away from the bustle of the city, yet reachable without a long journey. The surrounding rural scenery gives you a real sense of “coming out for a break.”
Location & Access
Tigaraksa Golf Residens (Takara) is located in Desa Tapos, Tigaraksa area, Tangerang Regency, Banten Province. It combines excellent accessibility with a quiet atmosphere away from the city’s bustle, and because you can arrive in about 1 to 1.5 hours from central Jakarta, it is popular with golfers who want to enjoy golf without a long trip. The surrounding rural scenery calms the mood during play, letting you enjoy relaxed, semi-country / semi-rural golf.
For access, a company car or your own car is convenient, as are ride-hailing services such as Grab and Gojek. If you use the toll road, it is about 35 minutes from the Balaraja Timur exit of the Jakarta–Merak toll road. Geographically it is relatively close to other courses in the Tangerang–Banten area, such as Kedaton Golf & Country Club, Gading Raya Padang Golf & Klub, and Imperial Klub Golf — a sweet-spot location that is neither “completely out in the suburbs and inconvenient” nor “in the middle of a noisy town.” Note that address listings differ across public sources, given variously as Jl. Raya Tapos, Tigaraksa, or Jl. Aria Wasangkara, Tapos, Tigaraksa, Tangerang, Banten 15720.

Course Design (Hisayuki Watanabe) & Characteristics
Tigaraksa Golf Residens (Takara) was designed by the Japanese golf course architect Hisayuki Watanabe and opened to the public in 1994. It is 18 holes, par 72, with a total length of roughly 6,070 yards. The course’s elevation changes are not that extreme and it is easy to play overall — known as a “beginner-friendly course” — yet it offers moderate challenge for seniors and veterans who have experienced a wide range of courses.
The fairways are relatively wide and many greens have a straightforward build, while natural brush and tall trees are used as part of the game — that is one of the interesting things about this course. The bunkers and water hazards placed here and there are designed to test shot accuracy without making play too difficult. In other words, it is an ideal “transition-type golf course” for that first step when you go from practicing at the driving range to wanting to “actually play on a course.” It is a layout where you can pick up the basics while gradually getting used to strategic play.
Signature Hole (No. 17)
The hole that symbolizes the course is the 17th. Long hitters can aim directly for the green over the lake, but the recommended safe play is generally to place the ball on the fairway to the right, leaving an approach of about 120 yards. It is a hole where the choice between attacking and defending is clearly divided, letting you savor the thrill of deciding whether to take a risk or play it safe according to your skill and the situation. If you don’t overreach and manage your landing spots, even beginners can get through it without major trouble.
Practical, Sufficient Facilities
Tigaraksa Golf Residens (Takara) is not a luxury-type golf course, but the facilities you need to play comfortably are properly in place. The centerpiece is the driving range, which also has an adjoining chipping area — handy for warming up before a round and for practicing short approach shots. For beginners, there are also golf lessons taught by professional instructors, open to visitors as well as members. With a step-by-step curriculum, even first-timers can start without strain.
- Practice environment: Driving range, chipping area, putting green, and practice bunker. Plenty for tuning up before a round.
- Pro shop: Sells balls, gloves, clubs, and accessories. Golf shoe and club rentals are also available, so you can play empty-handed even without your own gear.
- Clubhouse & restaurant: A casual restaurant serving local and Western dishes. Perfect for lunch after a round or for chatting with friends.
- Showers, changing rooms & lockers: Simple but clean, so you can get ready comfortably after play. There is also a reception hall.
- Female caddies: There are no buggy carts, but caddies carry bags, advise on shots, and provide support during the round.
Note that there is no lodging on the premises. If your visit involves an overnight stay, you would use nearby hotels such as Hotel Amaris Citra Raya, about 8 km from the course. This shortfall is amply covered by the ease of access and the very affordable green fees.
Who Is It Suited For?
Tigaraksa Golf Residens (Takara) is perfect for improving your skills, practicing a steady swing, and enjoying relaxed, non-competitive play. It is an easy choice as a first step onto a real course for those who have only ever practiced at the driving range, and as an option for senior golfers who want to “play proper golf without overexerting themselves.” In recent years, outdoor exercise has come to be valued more, and a place like this course — where you can play in the open air at a friendly price — offers great value. It also suits those who want friendly staff and a calm, green environment.
Things to Know Before You Play
- Access: A company car or your own car, or ride-hailing services such as Grab and Gojek, is convenient. About 35 minutes from the Balaraja Timur exit, and about 1 to 1.5 hours from central Jakarta depending on traffic.
- Cart: There are no buggy carts, and rounds are basically all on foot. The upside is that you get to move your body (if you wish to use a buggy, it is safest to confirm in advance).
- Caddie: Female caddies support bag carrying and course management.
- Lessons: Golf lessons open to visitors are available. Handy for preparing before your first serious round.
- Course characteristics: Wide fairways make it easy to play, while brush, tall trees, water, and bunkers add moderate strategy. On the lake carry at No. 17, don’t overreach — manage your landing spot.
