Gading Raya Golf Club
A brief introduction
Gading Raya Golf Club is one of Tangerang’s most charming and mature golf courses — a beautifully landscaped oasis located in Serpong, within the thriving Gading Serpong township. Designed by Australia’s premier golf-course architect, Graham Marsh, the course opened in 1996 and has since become a favorite among local members, corporate players, and weekend golfers seeking a relaxed, scenic round outside Jakarta’s bustling city center.
The layout features 18 holes, par 72, carved across gently rolling terrain with ponds, coconut palms, and natural waterways framing many fairways. A defining characteristic of Gading Raya is its tranquil residential ambiance — fairways are lined by elegant trees and quiet villa clusters, creating a peaceful, countryside feel despite being minutes away from modern Serpong developments.
Golfers will appreciate the strategic bunkering, well-positioned lakes, and subtle elevation changes that challenge course management. The greens are medium-fast but true, offering rewarding putting conditions year-round. Signature holes include the picturesque par-3s that demand both accuracy and distance control, along with risk–reward par-5s that tempt long hitters to go for the green in two.
The clubhouse is warm and welcoming, featuring a spacious lobby, restaurant overlooking the 9th and 18th greens, and excellent locker-room facilities. The practice amenities — driving range, short-game area, and putting greens — make Gading Raya a complete golf environment for beginners, casual players, and seasoned golfers alike.
With its blend of scenic design, consistent conditioning, and friendly local atmosphere, Gading Raya Golf Club remains one of Serpong’s most enjoyable places to spend a morning or afternoon round. It is a course that doesn’t rush you — instead, it invites you to enjoy golf at a comfortable, elegant pace.
