Emeralda Golf Club

Designed by Arnold Palmer and Jack Nicklaus, this 27-hole venue has played host to several Indonesian Opens, the Johnnie Walker Super Tour, Dunhill Asian Masters, and the Volvo Masters Asia. Emeralda is very convenient to those staying in Jakarta or Bogor as it is located right off the toll road that connects both cities.

Comprising the Lake Course and the River Course, the Palmer-designed 18 is playable, expertly maintained layout that challenges the player while never beating him up. Each golfer should carefully select from the five sets of tees to be able to both enjoy the course to its fullest and have a reasonable level of challenge. These nines form a picturesque course on rolling topography perfectly suited to captivating golf. 

The Plantation Course at Emeralda started as the front nine of the 18-hole Jack Nicklaus design. Only nine completed, but the Nicklaus nine remains a sterling loop. Many golfers prefer to mix one nine from each of the two designers represented to develop one of the best composite courses in Indonesia. Where else can you play both a Palmer and Nicklaus course in the same round?

Emeralda Golf Club boasts one of the country's best on-course spa facilities, with treatment rooms in the men's and ladies locker rooms. The spa is a real plus for golfers who want that little extra service. (Wink!)
