Golf In Indonesia
There are excellent golfing opportunities across the Indonesian archipelago
and the fine tropical weather makes for ideal playing conditions. The status
of golf in Indonesia has increased dramatically in recent years and it is no
longer seen as an elite form of recreation. The image of the game has also
improved with the emergence of a fresh breed of younger players such as the
professional champion Tiger Woods.
Ultimately, golf symbolizes relaxation and it is a great way to relieve
stress. Many overseas tourists are keen to fit in a round or two into their
holiday itinerary.

Golf in Surabaya Of late, Surabaya, as a golf destination, in
popularity has grown tremendously and mainly because of its pleasant pricing
policy for "play & stay" and a combined effort of promotion and marketing of
the Surabaya golf courses in for instance the Jakarta region, and most
recently (August 2001) at one of Australia's important travel fairs. With
Bali, refusing to come down on their US dollar denominated prices for golf
(in order to offer affordable golf to Indonesian citizens and expatriates,
and in doing so finding an alternative for the deteriorating influx of
foreign tourism) Surabaya cleverly has taken over Bali's position as
Indonesia's second most important golf destination.
With Yani Golf, Bukit Darmo, Ciputra Golf (27 holes), Golf Graha Famili,
Finna Golf and Taman Dayu (the latter two outside of the city), Surabaya
offers 6 great courses. |
