The Royale Jakarta is a new golf course located adjacent to the old Jakarta Halim Airport. It is about half an hour's drive from dowtown Jakarta.
view from the club-house.....
A few golfers from the group had actually played here about 2 months ago and the club-house was not even ready then. They must have worked around the clock to have the lovely club-house ready in such a short time.
Being a new course, many of the trees lining the fairways are still small and thus did not provide much shade yet. This is a 27-hole course is designed by Robert Moore - JMP Gp.
hole 18 South Course with the club-house in the background..
We played from the blue tee on the South and North courses which measured a total of 6258 metres.
pak Roslan and pak Ali with their respective caddies..
Pakdokter's flight included Pak Roslan ( the Captain), Pak Ali, and Pak Shaber. Pak Dokter partnered Pak Shaber against the other two and we also agreed to play the 'chaccarat' against each other.
pak Roslan in trouble?...getting his ball out from the rough...
Pak Roslan, our Captain, having played here before ( and of course not denying the fact that he is a good player!) carded a score of 43/48 playing to a handicap of 12. Your goodself retained the previous day's handicap of 22 and returned a score of 54/53, which is probably a true reflection of pakdokter's standard of golf. Pak Shaber, who is generally a good player was not in his usual form and returned a score of 51/52 playing to a handicap of 18. Pak Ali, playing to a handicap of 25 returned a score of 50/51.
From the scores you can guess who ended up collecting the most rupiahs from pakdokter and Pak Shaber. However the ever pleasant and sweet caddies made up the day for us.
