Indonesia golf has rapidly developed, with its potential in stunning landscapes and world-class facilities attracting golfers from around the world. As of May 2024, Indonesia boasts 181 golf courses spread across the archipelago, offering a diverse range of golfing experiences. The country is becoming an even more popular choice for golf lovers looking great golf destination in Asia.
Asia Golf Journey shared some tips for playing golf in Indonesia in a previous blog. In this post, we will highlight key factors that must be considered if you plan your golf trip to Indonesia in 2025.
When planning a golf trip to Indonesia, it’s important for golfers to be aware of the current political climate. In 2024, Indonesia experienced significant political events, including the presidential election. While the transition of power has been relatively smooth, there have been protests and demonstrations related to local election laws and other political issues. These events can sometimes lead to disruptions in major cities. Additionally, ongoing challenges such as systemic corruption and regional conflicts, particularly in areas like Papua, Jakarta, Makassar, or Bandung may impact journey plans.
Although the political situation in Indonesia has stabilized, golfers should stay informed about the latest developments and avoid areas where political unrest is reported to ensure a safe and enjoyable golfing experience.
BMKG warns most regions of Indonesia are expected to experience significant rainfall in 2025 due to the La Nina weather pattern. This heightened rainfall will likely increase the occurrence of hydrometeorological disasters, including floods, landslides, and strong winds, potentially impacting travel and outdoor activities.
Golfers should plan carefully to mitigate these challenges. Pack waterproof gear, such as raincoats and shoe covers, to stay dry on the course. Schedule tee times in the morning when weather conditions are generally more favorable, and prioritize courses known for their efficient drainage systems. Keeping a close eye on weather forecasts and maintaining flexibility in your plans will also help ensure a smoother golfing experience.
Golfers often pair their games with leisurely exploration, and Indonesia is a perfect destination for this blend of activities. Renowned for its beautiful beaches, the country is a favorite entry on many golfers’ travel bucket lists. However, environmental challenges, such as pollution at some beaches, have become a growing concern.
On Bali alone, the island produces 1.6 million tons of waste annually, with over 300,000 tons being plastic. Unfortunately, only 48% is properly managed, 7% of the plastic is recycled, and 33,000 tons pollute the environment each year.
While this issue doesn’t directly affect the golf courses, it serves as a reminder to adopt sustainable travel practices. Choosing eco-friendly accommodations and supporting conservation initiatives can enhance your trip while helping to preserve Indonesia’s natural beauty.
Indonesia’s location along the Pacific Ring of Fire makes it prone to natural disasters, including earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, and floods. In 2024 alone, Indonesia recorded 1,756 disaster events, including severe flooding in Jakarta and multiple earthquakes across the archipelago. These events caused significant disruptions to travel and highlighted the need for preparation.
While these events are unpredictable, staying informed and prepared is key. Familiarize yourself with emergency protocols, choose accommodations with solid safety records, and keep an eye on local news updates during your golf trip. Travel insurance that covers natural disasters is also a wise investment. Traveling in the midst of natural disasters is a serious danger.
Golf tourism in Indonesia offers an exceptional experience, blending stunning courses with the country’s vibrant culture and scenic beauty. However, being mindful of potential challenges, such as political issues, high rainfall, environmental issues, and natural disasters, will ensure your trip is enjoyable and safe. By careful planning, you can make the most of your golfing adventure in this diverse and captivating destination.
