Tangerang Regency and City—including South Tangerang—are booming as the western economic corridor of Greater Jakarta (Jabodetabek). The area hosts the international airport, master-planned townships, and a modern web of tollways and commuter rail. Naturally, demand for premium leisure has surged, and golf has become a pillar of the sport-and-lifestyle ecosystem. Tangerang’s edge over other suburbs lies in its flat topography, moderate rainfall, and average temperatures of 23.4–34.2 °C, enabling year-round play.
The list below highlights nine of the most popular courses in the GoGolf database—each offering a different blend of strengths, from world-class architecture and beginner-friendly pricing to full professional tournament services.

The following nine venues prove Tangerang has evolved into a complete golf hub—from affordable resort starters to European Tour-caliber arenas. Here’s GoGolf’s full review:
1. Takara Golf Resort
Location & Access – Set in Desa Tapos, Tigaraksa, Takara Golf Resort is a 35-minute drive via the Jakarta–Merak Toll (Balaraja Timur exit). The rural setting—rubber estates and rice fields—means noticeably cleaner air than the city core. Parking fits 250 cars, adequate for mid-sized events.
Course Design – A true community course: 9-hole par-36 (3,085 yards) playable twice for a full 18. Local Zoysia fairways at 30 m wide forgive wayward tee shots, while shallow bunkers and lightly contoured greens suit beginners and juniors. That said, three left doglegs at holes 5–7 force sensible tee-shot lines to avoid bamboo hedges along the boundary.
Facilities – 250 m driving range (20 bays) with mini target greens and LED lighting for night practice. Single-storey clubhouse with check-in lobby, a pre-owned/new pro shop, and Takara Kitchen (try the grilled chicken with bumbu rujak). Air-conditioned lockers, hot showers, and separate prayer rooms complete the experience.
Rates & Programs – Weekday IDR 450,000, weekend IDR 650,000 (caddie included). Beginner Bundle IDR 990,000: three 60-minute PGAI-certified lessons, 300 range balls, and one 9-hole round. Half-set rental IDR 120,000.
Value – Relaxed vibe, ~1 hr 45 min pace for 9 holes, and wallet-friendly pricing—perfect for swing fundamentals, family outings, or corporate clinics before stepping up to tougher tracks.
2. Pondok Cabe Golf
History & Setting – Located in Pondok Cabe Ilir, Pamulang (South Tangerang), this 1980s-era course sits beside the TNI-AU Pondok Cabe Air Base. Best access is via Jl. Pondok Cabe Raya after exiting the Serpong–Cinere Toll.
Design Character – One of Tangerang’s first-generation venues: 9-hole par-36 (3,087 yards) in classic parkland style—flat fairways lined by mature mahogany, small, medium-speed greens (8–9 stimp), and drainage canals doubling as slender water hazards. Unique quirk: trainer aircraft occasionally take off parallel to hole 4, adding theatre to your tee shot.
Facilities – A clean, retro two-storey clubhouse; Aviator Café serves soto Betawi and strong local coffee. Simple practice set-up: 400 m² putting green and a coarse-sand chipping area. The trump card is price: weekday IDR 350,000, weekend IDR 520,000 including caddie. A per-nine system (IDR 200,000) lets office golfers squeeze in a quick lunch-hour loop.
Starter Programs – Ties with SMA Al-Azhar and campus golf communities; junior dues IDR 1.2M/semester include eight coaching sessions, handicap admin, and PGI basic certification.
Strengths – Close to Pondok Cabe Mutiara and the Bintaro business belt, it’s a favorite for after-work practice. Low fees + flexible slots keep Pondok Cabe competitive against newer BSD courses.
3. Kedaton Golf & Country Club
Overview – In Desa Sukaharja, Pasar Kemis (~18 km from Soekarno–Hatta Airport), Kedaton occupies 90 ha of former rubber estate. The 18-hole par-72 by Adiguna Wijaya traces a petite river—water runs alongside 12 holes, lending a natural resort feel.
Design Details – Opener nine plays open; the back nine tightens and rolls more. Hole 11 (par-4, 380 yards) is famed for its island fairway—the tee shot must find a 35 m turf “island” before a two-tiered sloping green. Zoysia Matrella fairways mown to 12 mm and Tifdwarf greens guarded by 2 m disk bunkers demand precise wedges.
Facilities – Two-storey tropical-modern clubhouse with 300-pax ballroom, VIP locker rooms, spa, pool, and Sungai Rasa restaurant (signature oxtail soup). Pro shop stocks Under Armour, Callaway, and batik golf souvenirs. On-site Joglo-style villas (10 units) suit family staycations.
Events & Fees – Regular host of inter-bank championships and state-enterprise charity events. Weekend IDR 1,450,000, weekday IDR 1,050,000 (caddie & cart included). Corporate shotgun from IDR 2.1M/pax incl. buffet lunch and managed door prizes.
Why Play – Riverside visuals, lush landscaping, and pro-level hospitality—an excellent tournament venue alternative to BSD.
4. Modern Golf & Country Club
Prime Location – In the heart of Kota Modern (Jl. Modern Golf Raya, Tangerang City), easily reached from the Jakarta–Tangerang Toll (Bitung exit) or Tanah Tinggi KRL Station (7 km). The green township, international schools, and hospital form a complete lifestyle ecosystem.
World-Class Design – Laid out by the late Peter Thomson (5× Open Champion) in 1993: 18-hole par-72, 6,529 m, with modern risk-reward DNA. Rolling fairways, deep Scottish-style pot bunkers, and multi-tiered greens reward savvy approaches. Hole 4 (par-4, 392 m) requires a 230 m carry over a diagonal lake; a lay-up is safer but leaves a long approach.
Full Amenities – 52-bay, three-tier driving range, indoor/outdoor tennis, Olympic pool, spa/sauna, and Emerald Hall (500 pax). The Bridge restaurant is known for wagyu teppanyaki and Toraja single-origin coffee.
Rates & Membership – Weekday IDR 1.3M; weekend IDR 2.0M (all-in). Transferable full membership ~USD 13,000; monthly dues ~IDR 1.1M and unlimited range use.
Reputation – A grade-A tournament venue—Indonesian Open qualifying and US Kids Golf stages. Greens consistently >10 stimp; agronomy team won IGGI 2024 “Best Course Maintenance Jabodetabek.” Low-handicaps will love the championship pace; forwards tees support newer players.
5. Damai Indah Golf – BSD Course
A Jack Nicklaus Masterpiece – Opened in 1992 within BSD City, this is one half of the Damai Indah duo (the other is PIK by Robert Trent Jones Jr.). Jack Nicklaus goes large here: wide fairways, massive bunkers, and greens up to 850 m². 6,545 m, Course Rating 73.7 / Slope 134.
Landscape & Test – The Cisadane River frames the west side, providing a natural water backdrop. Hole 3 (par-5, 540 m) doglegs right between 1.2 m bunker faces—intimidating visuals. Hole 14 (par-3, 185 m) features the famed “Jaws” bunker, a 60 m shark-mouth guarding the green.
Facilities – Colonial-style VIP rooms, digital meeting suites, kids’ playhouse, fitness center, pool, and sauna with fairway view. The 19th Hole restaurant is known for Cisadane grilled ribs.
Fees – Weekend IDR 2.55M, weekday IDR 1.75M (buggy & caddie). BSD Stay & Swing with Sheraton Serpong: 1 night + 1 round twin-share from IDR 3.95M/pax.
Why It Stands Out – Tournament-grade set-up, strong MICE capacity, and toll access make BSD a go-to for large corporate shotguns (144+ players).
6. Imperial Klub Golf Lippo Karawaci
Right Where You Need It – Integrated into the Lippo Karawaci township, only ~30 minutes from Jakarta via the Jakarta–Merak Toll. Soekarno–Hatta Airport ~25 minutes—ideal for golf travelers.
Design – 18-hole par-72 (6,486 m) by Desmond Muirhead blends canals, elongated lakes, and symbolic hole shapes (star, turtle, etc.). Greens are defended by tall flash bunkers that demand precise lobs and high-spin pitches.
Executive Atmosphere – High-column colonial clubhouse with marble lobby, piano lounge, and cigar bar. Boardroom, Balinese spa, clay-court tennis, and kids’ club round out the lifestyle menu.
Rates – Weekday IDR 1.25M, weekend IDR 1.95M. Corporate membership (3 nominees) IDR 375M (transferable).
Signature Touches – Bilingual caddies (Eng–Mandarin) and a valet “straight-to-green” check-in with club cleaning support Imperial’s executive reputation.
7. Gading Raya Padang Golf & Country Club
Location & Access – In the heart of Gading Serpong, ~10 minutes from the Serpong–Balaraja toll exit.
Graham Marsh Design – 18 holes split into contrasting nines: the South Course is heavily bunkered; the North Course strings along linear lakes. 6,293 m, CR 72.3 / Slope 131.
Facilities – Two-sided (280 m) driving range plus a partner Leadbetter-style academy. Lake View restaurant serves Peranakan dishes; a VIP pavilion hosts private dining for 12. Tennis court, 3×3 basketball, and a lagoon pool support family days out.
Pricing – Weekday IDR 1.05M, weekend IDR 1.65M (cart & caddie). Early Bird (05:30 tee) IDR 850,000.
Why Go – Easy access, family-friendly facilities, and medium-fast greens (stimp 9–10) make it popular for community outings and family golf.
8. Cengkareng Golf Club
Airport-Friendly – Inside the Soekarno–Hatta precinct, only 5 minutes from Terminal 3—perfect for fly-in fly-out business golfers. Operated by PT Angkasa Pura II.
Design & Pedigree – 18-hole par-72 (6,326 m) by Walter Raleigh Stewart; flat fairways, gentle doglegs, and fine white bunkers. Former host of the Indonesian Open (European PGA Tour) 2005–2007—maintenance standards are elite.
Event Management – The “Cengkol” team excels at corporate and charity events: shotgun packages, digital scoring, hole-in-one insurance, and live-drone streams.
Facilities – Minimalist-modern clubhouse; Honma pro shop; Onion Grill (steak favorite); reflexology; large prayer room. 250 m covered range plus flood-lit chipping area.
Rates – Weekday IDR 1.2M, weekend IDR 1.95M (all-in). Transit Package IDR 725,000 (9 holes + shower + luggage storage)—ideal for long layovers.
Value Add – Airport location, renowned conditioning, and a seasoned events team keep Cengkareng top of mind for international travelers.
9. Padang Golf Modern Country Club
(Note: distinct naming yet within the Modern Group; locals often call it the “Modern North Course.”)
Setting – Still within Kota Modern, but on the northern commercial side. A 9-hole par-35 (3,045 m) satellite course.
Character – Narrower fairways, smaller greens, and shallow bunkers—great for accuracy practice. A ~1 hr 45 min loop suits tight schedules.
Facilities – Mini clubhouse, an express pro shop, and Kopi Gapura café. A compact 200 m range is ample for warm-ups.
Fees – Weekday IDR 325,000, weekend IDR 495,000 (caddie). A 10-round daily member pack is IDR 2.5M (valid 60 days).
Why It Works – Budget-friendly, quick pace, and toll access make it a go-to after-office practice venue for Gading Serpong–Alam Sutera golfers.
Pro Tip: Tangerang’s flatland climate and transport links make early-morning weekday tee times the sweet spot for value and pace. For realtime promotions and easy reservations, book through the GoGolf app.
