Experience golfing in Semarang

When you look at the map of Java island, you can figure out quickly Semarang lies in the northern part of Central Java. It is a bustling mid-size town with 1.5 million population. More a business than tourism destination, it nevertheless has its own charm with contrasting modern mid-rises, Dutch colonial architecture, China town, and small kampongs jut against each other.



There are perhaps more than six golf courses in and around the city. My recommendation would be the brand new course in Gombel. The course is handsomely located in a valley that offers stunning view in nearly all direction. It was designed by Indonesia based PT. Flora Tjipta Serana, a collection of golf course industry people that of late are rather active with golf course design and other matters that are related to golf course consultancy and golf course management.
