About 45 minutes from Jakarta City Centre, Emaralda Golf Course offers undulating fairways, with breathtaking landscape of unique line up of matured palm trees. Tee off around 8 am and it takes you to a totally different landscape. It is a good therapy for those who are always stuck in the mad traffic jam. Avoid the mad rush and leave Jakarta before 7 am or else you might not enjoy your game latter.
Most caddies are very familiar with the green making your putting easier. Green fee, plus buggy and caddy will cost you Rp400,000. Nasi goreng (fried rice) for breakfast at the golf terrace is actually not a good idea but it is popular among golfers. Toast and half boil eggs gives you a good start. Some start complaining after a few holes as nasi goreng slow down your swing or it's just a lame excuse.
After missing your par, stop at one of the half way hut, and get a fresh coconut drink. Pak Marno is ready to serve you and at the same time gives a short commentary on your swing, " Bagus Pak pukulannya ."( Good swing Sir )
Course designed by the Arnold Palmer. Great to get the chance to play here. Love to come back.
