Though there aren’t heaps of courses around, playing golf in Bandung has its own charm. It’s only a 45-minute ride on the high-speed train from Jakarta, and sneaking in a round here gives you a whole different kind of satisfaction. Fancy giving it a go?
Nestled in the lush highlands of West Java, Bandung is one of those places that instantly feels like a breath of fresh air—literally. With its cool mountain breeze and year-round mild temperatures, it’s no wonder the city has become a favourite escape for golfers looking to unwind while still keeping their swing sharp.
Whether you’re visiting from Jakarta or planning a weekend retreat, the city is close enough from Jakarta for a quick getaway, yet far enough to feel worlds away from the city heat.
What makes golfing in Bandung special is the landscape itself. The city sits among rolling hills and volcanic ridges, meaning most golf courses here naturally follow the contours of the land.
Each hole feels like a new adventure—some tee boxes perched high with sweeping views, others nestled in valleys surrounded by trees and misty mountain air. It’s a bit of a workout for your clubs, but the reward is worth it: you’ll be playing amid some of the most stunning scenery in Indonesia.

Bandung’s landscape does half the work for golf course designers. There are rolling hills and mountain backdrops that make every round feel cinematic. Fairways follow natural contours, with sweeping views of valleys and lakes around almost every corner.
Whether you’re a weekend golfer, a first-timer, or a seasoned player chasing a low handicap, golf in Bandung’s got you covered. From the championship-style Parahyangan Golf to the more forgiving Bandung Indah Golf & Country Club, the city’s courses cater to all abilities.
Playing golf in Bandung offers great value for money compared to Jakarta or Bali. On weekdays, green fees at most Bandung courses range from around IDR 850,000 to 1,000,000 (roughly SGD 70–85), while weekends rise to between IDR 1,600,000 and 2,300,000 (about SGD 135–190). Even at the city’s top venues, you’ll still find it relatively affordable for the scenery and facilities you get.
In Jakarta, weekday rates generally start higher. It’s typically IDR 1,100,000 to 1,500,000 (around SGD 90–125) — and can climb to IDR 2,400,000 or even 3,000,000 (SGD 200–250) on weekends, especially at well-known or centrally located courses.
Meanwhile, Bali sits firmly at the premium end of the scale. Expect to pay about IDR 1,900,000 to 2,300,000 on weekdays (SGD 160–190) and similar or slightly more on weekends. These prices reflect the island’s resort atmosphere and world-class course settings.
Many of Bandung’s golf courses are within easy reach of resorts, cafés, and attractions. Imagine wrapping up a morning round, then heading to a hillside café for a cup of local coffee or visiting the nearby tea plantations of Lembang. You can easily turn a golf day into a full-blown weekend escape.
Set high in the hills above the city, this 18-hole par-72 course (approx 5,583 m from the back tees) offers significant elevation changes and undulating fairways — you’ll find that accuracy and strategic play are far more important than just hitting it long. The views are spectacular: you’ll look out over valleys, mountains and the city’s green surroundings, giving your round a “more than just golf” feel.
Intermediate to advanced golfers who appreciate a scenic backdrop and a bit of a challenge.
A more family-friendly layout with wide, forgiving fairways and good on-site facilities (driving range, clubhouse, dining). The terrain still has hills and interest but is less demanding than ultra-mountain courses.
