Damai Indah BSD
Jack Nicklaus laid out the BSD Course at Damai Indah in 1992 on rolling ground beside the Cisadane River, southwest of Jakarta. A par 72 of about 6,454 meters, roughly 7,050 yards, it is a polished, generously bunkered Nicklaus design and one of the capital's most sought after rounds.

The verdict
Damai Indah Golf runs two clubs in greater Jakarta, and its BSD Course, a Jack Nicklaus design opened in 1992, is the pick for a visiting golfer. Set in the planned city of BSD in Tangerang, just southwest of the capital, it sprawls across rolling terrain beside the Cisadane River with the polish and conditioning that Jakarta's premium clubs are known for.
Nicklaus called the theme the spirit of the hills, and the course earns it, with bold movement in the land, large strategic bunkers and water in play on a clutch of holes. It is long from the tips, immaculately presented and well caddied, and it makes a strong centerpiece for a Jakarta golf day, paired with the resort courses of Bali on a wider Indonesian trip.

The holes worth the trip
The BSD Course is a muscular Jack Nicklaus design that uses the rolling ground beside the Cisadane River to full effect, the fairways heaving and the large bunkers framing the strategic line. It is long from the back tees and asks for both length and placement off the tee.
Water comes into play on a handful of holes, and Nicklaus sets his greens to reward the controlled approach over the brave one, with subtle contours that test the touch. The conditioning is the equal of any premium club in the capital, the surfaces fast and true.
The closing holes run firm back toward the clubhouse, the bunkering and water tightening the demands as the round builds. With caddies standard and the presentation immaculate, the BSD Course is a memorable, championship grade day on the doorstep of Jakarta.
