The Cengkareng golf course in Jakarta is situated literally adjacent to the Soekarno-Hatta Airport making it the ideal golf course to play, either before you catch a flight or just after you have landed. While you cannot exactly hop across to the airport and board a plane, it is no more than a five-minute drive, having accounted for the notorious Jakarta traffic. No golf nut would complain about such an opportunity \u2013 in fact, the prospect would encourage choosing flight schedules that allow sneaking in a full 18 holes before \u201cor\u201d after or \u201cboth\u201d.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-2442 size-full\" title=\"CENGKARENG GOLF CLUB, JAKARTA\" src=\"https:\/\/www.golftripz.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Cengkareng-3.jpg\" alt=\"CENGKARENG GOLF CLUB, JAKARTA\" width=\"770\" height=\"350\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.golftripz.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Cengkareng-3.jpg 770w, https:\/\/www.golftripz.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Cengkareng-3-300x136.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.golftripz.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Cengkareng-3-768x349.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 770px) 100vw, 770px\" \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"video\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/HmXm8t0zbto\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Strategic location accounted for, the Cengkareng is not just a walk in the park \u2013 well, actually it is! \u2013 as it is possibly the only golf course in Jakarta where golfers are required to walk.
