The course is rather flat with wide fairways which is easy even for beginners... Water comes into play in a number of holes... The only other distraction is the taking off of aircrafts at the perimeter Jakarta International Airport...

This is a walking course with pretty lady caddies...

Equipment: The clubhouse comes with both men and ladies changing rooms with electronic key locks (called TeE cards)... The TeE card is a one card and is used for golf registration, restaurant, halfway houses, pro-shop and the locker room... Golfers need only to play only at time of check-out... The golfer's terrace (TeE Venue) is set in a garden setting oberlooking the finishing hole... For both Asian and Japanese food, there is the Golfer's Grill... There is the normal pro-shop and driving range to complete the services offered...

Surprising to find an outdoor climbing wall here in Jakarta, was wondering around Pasar Festival (a shopping/restaurant/sports complex)

Huge wall will full facilities ie roopes and safety equiment.

I also stumbled acreoss a sports hall where I came across a live Sepak Takraw (kick volleyball)match with Jakarta vs Raiu. Very cool.

Equipment: Climbing wall, bring shoes and gloves.

There are some dive shops in Jakarta and regularly they organize a dive trip during weekend. We can join them. Our usual dive trip destination is to one of Thousand islands (start by boat from Ancol) or to Sanghyang island (by boat from Anyer-it's 3 hrs from Jakarta by car).

Equipment: They provide all the dive gear, make sure we get the right size. But we can bring ours if we want.

If you have some extra time in Jakarta, you may wish to go diving outside of Pulau Seribu (1000 Islands) for a weekend. This short dive trip involved taking a ~2 hour boat ride out of a marina in Jakarta early in the morning on Saturday and spending the night in a island resort. I stayed at Matahari Resort, which in itself was the island, all of a 5 minute walking lap. After three dives on Saturday and two on Sunday, it was time to take the return boat back to Jakarta. The facilities were not extravagant, but were comfortable. Diving likewise was not the best of the world, but beats a good day at work any time. Waters were warm, visibility was ~30ft due to heavy plankton and currents, but that just made the soft corals and small reef fish that much more healthy. There were lots of smaller reef fish and schools, health soft corals, and active nocturnal critters during the night.

Permata Sentul
The international standard course is rather hilly. The front nine predominantly plays down hill, while the back nine plays up hill. The green of hole 9 is situated some 100 meters above sea level. Hole 18 finishes some 244 meters above sea level. To give you an idea: the tee box of hole 1 is situated some 181 meter above sea level, while the green finishes at some 150 meters above sea level. The course is friendly and players of all skill levels have a choice out of 4 different tee box positions. Down hill play is always somewhat difficult when it comes to club selection and that's what make Permata Sentul's front nine challenging and tricky. Overconfident players who come to play this course for the first time should bare this in mind. If down hill play is tricky, up hill play is certainly not easy too. The back nine will prove this.
