We recently wrote about The Best Golf Courses in Jakarta, Indonesia. We want to continue the series here by sharing the rest of our top picks from the JABODETABEK (Greater Jakarta) area. In this post, we'll share about the best golf courses in Bogor, which is about a 30min to 1-hour drive south of Central Jakarta.

Best Golf Courses in Bogor
In the below list we wanted to share with you what we think are interesting facts that make these the best golf courses in Bogor, Indonesia.
Sentul Highlands Golf Club
First on our list of best golf courses in Bogor, Indonesia we have Sentul Highlands Golf Club. It provides one of the best services in a golf club around the Sentul area. The course is good, rates are reasonable, the air is cool, and the staff is friendly. The other famous one is Permata Sentul Golf Club. However, that clubhouse is slightly dated compared to Sentul Highlands, although the course conditions and service is just as good.

Deemples at Sentul Highlands
Sentul Highlands is where the first Deemples Golf Gathering in Indonesia was held. We got a few people together here to play since they were very accommodating and had no minimums participants for us to get anything going - definitely making it easy for any golfing group to organize events at the club.
Rainbow Hills Golf Club
One of the furthest golf courses from Central Jakarta is Rainbow Hills Golf Club. It's not easy to get to, and if you're taking a taxi/Grab there, you better make sure you book one for your ride back otherwise you won't be able to get home! However, as soon as you arrive, you'd soon realize why the trip was worth it.

Gunung Geulis Country Club
Gunung Geulis Country Club is right next to Rainbow Hills. So if you're making your way all the way out there, there is a brand new Royal Tulip Hotel at Gunung Geulis that you can stay at before playing it the next day.

Summary
These are a few of what we think are some of the best golf courses in Bogor. Some golfers would prefer to just stay in Bogor for 4 nights and play 4 different courses. It's further away from the city, so might be wiser to stay there than travel back and forth to Jakarta. If you need to find mates to play at these courses, use the Deemples golf app.
Bogor is the BO in JABODETABEK. Read more to find out about The Best Golf Courses in Jakarta and The Best Golf Courses in Tangerang.
