Cengkareng Golf Club is one of Jakarta’s most accessible and enjoyable championship golf destinations, located within the
grounds of Soewarna Business Park near Soekarno–Hatta International Airport. Designed by the internationally acclaimed
Walter Raleigh Stewart and opened in 1999, this well-established course blends resort comfort with tournament-grade
challenge — making it a favorite among business travelers and local golf enthusiasts alike.
The 18-hole, par-72 layout stretches across gently undulating terrain with wide landing areas, mature palm trees,
and strategic water features that come into play on 12 of the holes. Its design emphasizes shot-making and accuracy rather than brute strength, offering a fair but memorable test for golfers of all levels. The routing is scenic and walkable, with the sound of aircraft occasionally overhead adding a uniquely
urban character to the round.
Beyond the routing, the course features a distinct 'bowl' effect on many fairways—a signature of Stewart’s design that funnels slightly errant drives back into play, keeping the game moving and morale high. Cengkareng also embraces a modern, energetic spirit rarely found in traditional clubs; it was one of the first in the region to introduce GolfBoards for 'surfing' the fairways and features unique on-course 'Refreshment Houses' equipped with AC and oxygen therapy, proving that here, player comfort is just as prioritized as the challenge.
Cengkareng has hosted several major professional events, including the Indonesian Open and numerous international corporate
tournaments. The course is known for its superb maintenance and consistent greenspeed, ensuring reliable conditions
year-round. The par-5 finishing hole beside the clubhouse terrace is a standout, offering both risk and reward with water
guarding the entire right side.
The clubhouse offers a relaxing post-round experience, with spacious locker rooms, a pro shop, and a popular restaurant
overlooking the 9th and 18th greens. The atmosphere is friendly and efficient — a hallmark of the club’s service standard.
For players with tight schedules, Cengkareng’s location — less than 15 minutes from the airport — makes it ideal for
a pre-departure or arrival round.
Combining strategic design, excellent access, and warm Indonesian hospitality, Cengkareng Golf Club continues to
set the benchmark for business and leisure golf in Jakarta. It remains a course that visitors return to again and again —
a perfect blend of convenience, comfort, and championship quality.
