Damai Indah (Pantai Indah Kapuk)

The Pantai Indah Kapuk course – known locally as “The Spirit of the Sea” – lies close to the coastline of the Java Sea, some twenty-two miles to the north of Damai Indah Golf’s other 18-hole layout, the Bumi Serpong Dami course.

Developer Ir. Ciputra established both facilities in the early 1990s and they’ve hosted a number of high profile Asian and European Tour tournaments such as the Indonesia President Invitational and the Indonesia Open.

When the PIK course first opened, it was the second golf project to be unveiled in Indonesia by its designer, Robert Trent Jones Jnr, as he had previously laid out the Pondok Indah course, venue for the World Cup in 1983.

The architect’s vision for the PIK course was expressed in this quote: “Dramatic marshlands, native trees and water create scenic vistas and challenging hazards. I want the experience of golfing at Pantai Indah Kapuk to wash away the cares of all who step onto the course, so that they are free to enjoy their game.”

He further added: “My course is not only by the sea, but it is like the sea. Often the sea is graceful and beautiful, but suddenly the sea can turn difficult. My course will test the best players, but will please players of all skills.”
