Sentul Highlands Golf Club: Visitor Guide and Tee Times

Sentul Highlands Golf Club at a Glance

These are the published facts for Sentul Highlands, with sources numbered at the foot of the page. Where a detail has not been verified, the table says so rather than guessing.

How Sentul Highlands Plays

Sentul Highlands is a mountainside course, and the terrain shapes almost every decision.

A Hilly Gary Player Layout

Gary Player routed the course over hilly ground in the Sentul hills, and it opened for play on 17 May 1997 ^[2]. At 6,538 yards and par 72, it is not overly long, but uphill and downhill lies change how far each club carries ^[1]. Expect to take more or less club than the yardage suggests on many approach shots.

Views of Gunung Salak

Many holes have panoramic views of nearby Gunung Salak ^[1]. The views are a large part of why golfers make the drive from Jakarta. On a clear morning they are at their sharpest.

Getting Around the Course

The changes in height make a buggy the practical choice for most visitors. Zora requests the buggy with your tee time and confirms it before the day, and the club provides your caddie. The guide to golf caddies in Jakarta and West Java covers caddie etiquette and tipping.

Getting to Sentul Highlands From Jakarta

Sentul City sits on the Jakarta side of Bogor, so the drive is mostly toll road.

By Road on the Jagorawi Toll

The Jagorawi toll road runs about 59 km from Cawang in East Jakarta to Ciawi ^[3]. Sentul Highlands is a little over an hour from Jakarta along this route, depending on your starting point and the traffic ^[1]. Off-peak, a Jakarta to Bogor drive usually takes 60–90 minutes ^[4].

Weekends and Traffic

Weekend traffic towards the Puncak builds near Ciawi and Gadog, where police run a one-way scheme ^[4]. Sentul City is reached before Ciawi, but the return drive can still meet weekend traffic. Zora's driver sets the pickup time around your tee time and the day of the week.

Pairing Sentul Highlands With Other Bogor Courses

Sentul Highlands is one of several Bogor courses within easy reach of each other.

Klub Golf Bogor Raya and Emeralda

Klub Golf Bogor Raya, a Graham Marsh course east of Bogor with a hotel inside the estate, makes a natural second round. Emeralda Golf Club, with 27 holes by Arnold Palmer and Jack Nicklaus, sits closer to Jakarta in Tapos, Depok. The guide to golf in Bogor compares every course in the region.

The Jakarta and Bogor Golf Escape

The Jakarta and Bogor golf escape mixes city rounds with highland courses like Sentul Highlands. Zora also holds authorised tee-time access at Jagorawi Golf & Country Club on the same toll road. Packages are priced POA around your dates.

When to Play Golf at Sentul

Bogor is known as Kota Hujan, the City of Rain, and its wettest months fall from December to February. The weather agency BMKG put the 2025/26 rainy-season peak between November 2025 and February 2026 ^[5]. Early tee times give the best chance of a dry round and the clearest views of Gunung Salak.
