Jack Nicklaus designs are amongst the top range in the golfing arena. Jack Nicklaus II, following in his father’s footsteps has also become a strong force to reckon with when it comes to golf and golf course designs. Golf courses designed by Jack Nicklaus II not only are aesthetically pleasing but are also definitely likely to test player strengths whilst at the same time affording the player an enjoyable golfing session.
The Bukit Darmo Golf Course in Surabya, Indonesia, was Jack Nicklaus’s first foray and creation into Asia. Given the relatively flat layout of the land, the course has been created in a truly inspiring manner allowing for golfers of varying skills to encounter challenges and have fun at the same time. The 18 hole course varying through an undulating landscape incorporates an aqua range, exotic landscaping, mounding and multiple tees at each hole.
Surabya, being the second largest city in Indonesia is a commercial hub attracting many business and leisure travellers. The Bukit Darmo Golf course is set in a central location, a mere 10 minute distance from the city centre. However, once you come into the premises, the peaceful tranquillity of the area may trick you into thinking that you are in the countryside.
A professional golf school is also at hand for those who wish to learn the sport. For this purpose there are practice facilities that rate amongst the best. For members, the club house provides an impressive restaurant overlooking the course as well as wedding, seminar and birthday facilities, locker rooms, 2 VIP rooms and a golf pro shop.
The food on offer is exquisitely prepared and members can choose from Chinese, oriental, western and of course local delights. A sports bar, called the’t-bar’ is also at hand with a selection of impressive beverages.
For those of you hoping to visit Indonesia, be it for the golf or for leisure or business and looking out for accommodation in Surabaya consider the ease and comfort of staying at an apartment Surabaya. This type of accommodation allows a certain sense of freedom and privacy whilst assuring you of the comforts and facilities you need.
