The Pondok Indah Golf Course (PIGC) is a true golfing experience that represent harmony between man and nature.
Established on August 17, 1976, PIGC offers golfers a location where the architect has seemingly done little to disturb the natural harmony - where the golf course blends into its environment as though it had always been there.
As one of the requirement of the course design, the architect was asked to design a course with a layout for major championships (even World Cup) but capable of offerring pleasure and a fair test for both low handicap players and beginners.
Thanks to world-class golf architecture, Robert Trent Jones Jr. With a philosophy of overall harmony, variety of situation and excitement without deception, he has created a course that can give pleasure to all kinds of golfer.
Each game will gives opportunities for not only measuring your skills against the course, but also enjoying the beauty of the natural surrounding by playing in a relaxed setting of lush greenery and tall trees as well as in fresh air carrying the scent of flowers and the songs of birds.
The circuit returns to the club after nine holes then sets out again to follow a reverse circuit within the earlier one. The design is not only unusual but through clever use of the meandering tributaries of the Grogol River, plus astute strategic bunkering, rewards accuracy while punishing the wayward player. A fine course, which builds up to a superb finish.
Some notable names, such as Jonny Miller, Hammond Floyd and David Graham, have praised its tough but fair hazards as well as its strategic layout and superb condition. It is an excellent course to test all grades of golfers - from beginner to champion - and one which helps the members get the most fro their game.
PIGC is within easy reach from any part of Jakarta. It is approximately 30 minutes of driving from the capital's business district or 45 minutes from Jakarta International Airport, Soekarno-Hatta.
