Course Facts for Visiting Golfers

The table below draws on the official Aryaduta course page and the Golfasian course profile ^[1][2]. Green fees change by day and season, so Zora quotes them per trip.

How Imperial Klub Golf Plays

Imperial plays as a water-heavy, 7,204-yard layout built around a figure-of-eight lake, with island holes and themed bunkers.

Desmond Muirhead's Lucky 8 Lake

Desmond Muirhead designed the course, which opened in 1997 ^[1][2]. Its centrepiece is the "Lucky 8" lake, a figure-of-eight water feature that shapes the routing ^[1][3].

The Signature Holes

Three front-nine holes stand out, each with its own name or feature ^[1][3].

• Hole 4 — a par 4 with an island fairway
• Hole 5, "Temple" — a par 3 to an island green
• Hole 8, "Krakatoa" — volcano-shaped bunkers named after Indonesia's famous volcano

Tournament History

Imperial hosted the Indonesia PGA Championship in 2011 ^[1]. It also hosted the Jakarta Classic, an Asian Development Tour event, in 2013 and 2014 ^[1].

Getting to Imperial Klub Golf

Imperial is in Lippo Karawaci, Tangerang, about 25 minutes from central Jakarta and about 35 minutes from CGK ^[2].

From the Airport and the City

Golfasian puts the course about 25 minutes from central Jakarta and about 35 minutes from Soekarno-Hatta International Airport ^[2]. That makes it practical to play on arrival day or before an evening flight home. Traffic around Jakarta varies, so allow extra time at peak hours.

Transport on a Zora Trip

A Zora trip includes airport transfers and daily transport between your hotel and every course. Your personal guide can route an arrival or departure day through Imperial so you fit in an extra round.

How Visitors Book Imperial Klub Golf

Imperial is a public golf facility, so visitors book a round without a member, either direct or through a travel operator such as Zora.

Club Rules for Visitors

The club asks for proper golf attire and does not allow collarless shirts or metal spikes ^[1]. Rounds have a maximum pace of play of 4 hours 30 minutes ^[1]. Keeping up with the group ahead is part of the etiquette here.

Courses That Pair Well With Imperial Klub Golf

Imperial pairs best with other courses on the western side of Jakarta, which keeps transfers short.

Damai Indah BSD in Serpong

The BSD course at Damai Indah Golf is in Serpong, South Tangerang, and was Jack Nicklaus's first design in Indonesia. Like Imperial, it has an island-green par 3, so the two make a natural Tangerang pairing.

Sedayu Indo Golf Near the Airport

Sedayu Indo Golf is a 2022 Nicklaus design on Golf Island, Pantai Indah Kapuk, near CGK. Both courses suit a 4D3N Jakarta golf package that starts or ends at the airport.

Some visitors prefer not to fly with clubs. The guide to golf club rental in Jakarta explains the options.
